A stock transaction for less than a hundred shares is executed via a special odd-lot broker on the floor of the exchange.

The Court limited its decision to the tax issue involved, commenting: `` It is not our province to pass judgment on the morality of the transaction ''.

When used by academics, an arbitrage is a transaction that involves no negative cash flow at any probabilistic or temporal state and a positive cash flow in at least one state ; in simple terms, it is the possibility of a risk-free profit at zero cost.

Arbitrage tends to reduce price discrimination by encouraging people to buy an item where the price is low and resell it where the price is high ( as long as the buyers are not prohibited from reselling and the transaction costs of buying, holding and reselling are small relative to the difference in prices in the different markets ).

The main day-to-day risk is that part of the transaction fails – execution risk.

The main rare risks are counterparty risk and liquidity risk – that a counterparty to a large transaction or many transactions fails to pay, or that one is required to post margin and does not have the money to do so.

When the transaction involves a delay of weeks or months, as above, it may entail considerable risk if borrowed money is used to magnify the reward through leverage.

* See Leveraged buyout, or highly leveraged transaction, or " bootstrap " transaction, when an investor acquires a controlling interest in a company's equity and where a significant percentage of the purchase price is financed through leverage ( borrowing ).

Other countries though do not have the reporting requirement that the U. S. does concerning proceeds from barter transactions, but taxation is handled the same way as a cash transaction.

* Indivisibility of certain goods: If a person wants to buy a certain amount of another's goods, but only has for payment one indivisible unit of another good which is worth more than what the person wants to obtain, a barter transaction cannot occur.

This delay, absent in electronic accounting systems due to instantaneous posting into relevant accounts, is not replicated in manual systems, thus giving rise to primary books of accounts such as Sales Book, Cash Book, Bank Book, Purchase Book for recording the immediate effect of the financial transaction.

In the normal course of business, a document is produced each time a transaction occurs.

In the single entry system, each transaction is recorded only once.

By definition, where a director enters into a transaction with a company, there is a conflict between the director's interest ( to do well for himself out of the transaction ) and his duty to the company ( to ensure that the company gets as much as it can out of the transaction ).

Somewhat surprisingly, contracts throughout the world ( for example, contracts involving parties in Japan, France and Germany, and from most of the other states of the United States ) often choose the law of New York, even where the relationship of the parties and transaction to New York is quite attenuated.

Other provisions set the terms of a transaction, establishing the liability of a builder for a house that collapses, for example, or property that is damaged while left in the care of another.

Fully normalized database designs ( that is, those satisfying all five Codd rules ) often result in information from a business transaction being stored in dozens to hundreds of tables.

The databases have very fast insert / update performance because only a small amount of data in those tables is affected each time a transaction is processed.

; On time data warehouse: Online Integrated Data Warehousing represent the real time Data warehouses stage data in the warehouse is updated for every transaction performed on the source data

As the original property was granted for the specific purpose of being used as a Trades Hall, the Brisbane Trades Hall Management Act 1984 was required to be passed authorising the transaction, with planning controls on the use of the original historic building.

Section 101 ( d ) provides that if a law requires that a business retain a record of a transaction, the business satisfies the requirement by retaining an electronic record, as long as the record " accurately reflects " the substance of the contract and is " accessible " to people who are entitled to access it " in a form that is capable of being accurately reproduced for later reference, whether by transmission, printing or otherwise.

It ignores the sordid financial aspects ( quite conveniently, too, for his audience, who could indulge in moral indignation without visible, or even conscious, discomfort, their money from the transaction having been put away long ago in a good antiseptic brokerage ).

The variation between manual and any electronic accounting system stems from the latency between the recording of the financial transaction and its posting in the relevant account.

CPU designers then borrowed ideas from commercial computing markets such as transaction processing, where the aggregate performance of multiple programs, also known as throughput computing, was more important than the performance of a single thread or program.

Today, scan the barcode ( usually EAN or Universal Product Code ( UPC )) for each item, retrieve the price from a database, calculate deductions for items on sale ( or, in British retail terminology, " special offer ", " multibuy " or " BOGOF "), calculate the sales tax or VAT, calculate differential rates for preferred customers, actualize inventory, time and date stamp the transaction, record the transaction in detail including each item purchased, record the method of payment, keep totals for each product or type of product sold as well as total sales for specified periods, and do other tasks as well.

A data warehouse maintains a copy of information from the source transaction systems.

The concept of a database transaction ( or atomic transaction ) has evolved in order to enable both a well understood database system behavior in a faulty environment where crashes can happen any time, and recovery from a crash to a well understood database state.

A transaction must transform a database from one consistent state to another consistent state ( however, it is the responsibility of the transaction's programmer to make sure that the transaction itself is correct, i. e., performs correctly what it intends to perform ( from the application's point of view ) while the predefined integrity rules are enforced by the DBMS ).

An aborted transaction does not change the database state it has started from, as if it never existed ( atomicity above ).

Subtracting the purchase price of the house ($ 100, 000 ) from the present value results in the net present value of the whole transaction, which would be $ 29, 576 or a little more than 29 % of the purchase price.

The transaction presumably would have qualified under section 368(a)(1) as a contractual reorganization, followed by a section 332 liquidation, but not under section 368(a)(1) as a statutory merger of consolidation.

If such an unlikely transaction were to take place, it would more logically be accomplished by a stock purchase, followed by the prosecution of the claim by the wholly-owned subsidiary, followed by liquidation.

Certain government bureaucracies, such as a department of motor vehicles will issue an abstract of a completed transaction or an updated record intended to serve as a proof of compliance with some administrative requirement.

On November 5, 2002, Armenia transferred control of 5 state enterprises to Russia in an assets-for-debts transaction which settled $ 100 million of Armenian state debts to Russia.

The transaction will also help finance ArmRosGazprom's acquisition of the Hrazdan electricity generating plant ’ s fifth power bloc ( Hrazdan-5 ), the leading unit in the country.

His steel enterprises were bought out at a figure equivalent to 12 times their annual earnings —$ 480 million ( presently, $) which at the time was the largest ever personal commercial transaction.

Moreover, the ansibles Le Guin uses in her stories apparently have a very limited bandwidth which only allows for at most a few hundred characters of text to be communicated in any transaction of a dialog session.

This way, it could respond to duplicate requests with the same transaction ID by resending the same response data, without performing the actual operation again.

These, transaction costs, taxes, and other costs provide an impediment to this kind of arbitrage.

In comparison to the classical quick arbitrage transaction, such an operation can produce disastrous losses.

As arbitrages generally involve future movements of cash, they are subject to counterparty risk: if a counterparty fails to fulfill their side of a transaction.

This can occur particularly where the business transaction has no obvious physical location: in the case of many financial products, it may be unclear " where " the transaction occurs.

In September 1991 Borland purchased Ashton-Tate, bringing the dBase and InterBase databases to the house, in an all stock transaction.

The transaction was approved by Borland shareholders on July 22, 2009, with Micro Focus acquiring the company for $ 1. 50 / share.

Following Micro Focus shareholder approval and the required corporate filings, the transaction was completed in late July 2009.

Commercial exchanges make money by charging a commission on each transaction either all on the buy side, all on the sell side, or a combination of both.
