HE quantity of money in economic modT els traditionally has been assumed (by Keynes, as well as others) to be an exogenously determined variable controlled uniquely by the monetary authorities. Traditional theory argues that, in a fractional reserve system, money supply is a constant multiple of the reserve bank's monetary liabilities which are controlled via the conventional instruments open market operations, changes in the required reserves ratio, and variations in the discount rate.' A current survey of monetary theory and policy states that the theory of money supply is virtually an unexplored area of monetary research.2 The contemporary theoretical and empirical controversies arising around the role of financial intermediaries reflect an awakening interest in money; and several recently completed studies of the money supply in developed economies provide further proof of this new interest.3 This study is intended to further knowledge of the process by which the supply of money is determined, but unlike previous studies it concerns money in a developing economy.

Abstract The most recent statement of basic postulates of accounting is contained in Accounting Research Study #1, prepared under the auspices of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The 14 postulates presented therein have been grouped under three headings namely environment, field of accounting and imperatives. The attempt to present succinct descriptions of the basic postulates for accounting is meritorious. The philosophy underlying such a project would appear to be directed toward the establishment of a sound foundation for the advancement of accounting theory. However, continued analysis of these and alternative postulates must be undertaken to avoid the creation of a mausoleum from which there could be no escape. A chart has been developed which attempts to depict the interrelationship that appears to exist between these postulates. The heavy reliance upon the deductive process evidenced by this study suggests that a comparable exercise utilizing inductive reasoning should be undertaken for a verification or repudiation of these postulates.

Abstract The modern business-oriented computer is an adaptation, with minor modifications, of the earlier and more general notion of a stored-program, digital computer. Business-oriented computers have been developed largely as a result of a concerted effort on the part of computer manufacturers to develop equipment, which would be suitable to the requirements of business data processing. For the most part, however, accountants have had very little to say about the kind of equipment which has been made available to the business firms. Consequently, each installation has been approached on an ad hoc basis, and there appears to be a wide divergence in accomplishment. Business-oriented computer should be taken as a frame of reference, and instead of superimposing the computer on the business information system of the firm, that the systems designer should build or rebuild the entire system based upon the theoretical concepts inherent in the computer itself. Business-oriented computer becomes an adequate frame of reference for exploring the possibilities and ramifications of a normative business information system for the firm.
