appropriated surplus

Read a random definition: de medietate linguae

A quick definition of appropriated surplus:

Appropriated surplus is the part of a surplus that is set aside for a specific purpose. Surplus is the extra money or assets that remain after all expenses and debts have been paid. It can come from earnings, investments, or the sale of assets. Appropriated surplus is like putting money in a piggy bank for a specific goal, like buying a new toy or saving for college. It is different from unappropriated surplus, which can be used for any purpose.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Appropriated surplus is the portion of a company's surplus that is set aside for a specific purpose.

For example, a company may set aside a portion of its surplus for future expansion or to pay off debt. This portion of the surplus is known as the appropriated surplus.

Another example of appropriated surplus is when a company sets aside a portion of its surplus to pay dividends to shareholders. This portion of the surplus is known as the appropriated retained earnings.

Overall, appropriated surplus is a way for companies to allocate their surplus funds towards specific goals or purposes.

Help us make LSD better!
Tell us what's important to you
Remember, all people who go to law school having to do LSAT prep is also about social engineering lol Like you should have some shared basis in how you think/talkk, hence "lawyer talk," but how do they choose which ones to release for everyone to do, from a content perspective? Is it a coincidence we get many climate change content questions? LOL So what i am getting at is that is sometimes VERY subjective lol So dont beat yourself up TOO bad on arts in RC, but obvs work on it.
How many t-14s are appropriate to apply to if i have a 170 lsat
this is for next cycle
everyone saying medians are gonna be crazy so idk what i should be aiming for. 3.9+ gpa if it matters
r/lsa makes me feel like im stupid for having a 170 lol
@RasheedWallaceFan: your gpa is above all medians, so apply broadly
Okay thank you for the input, the other thing im struggling with is just making a school list in general. I am insecure so im like do i have to apply to 5 low ranked schools just in case? I guess I am trying to figure out where the "safety" cutoff is and my list right now is 25 schools so idk if thats too much
@RasheedWallaceFan: 25 is on the high end, but you should apply to however many you feel comfortable with. imo, a safety is anywhere you are well above both medians. you can look at my school list for inspo if you'd like
you shouldn't apply to anywhere you wouldn't realistically go if it was your only offer
for sure, thank you a lot. Have fun at michigan that will be awesome!

i do them in between studying to keep sane
@RasheedWallaceFan: take your list and research the city, campus, tuition, bar passage, employment by sector, etc.!!! it might help you narrow down your school choices
also don't pay much attention to the people on reddit. there's genuinely good advice but there's a ton of people who are just energy vampires (average reddit user)
@NosyBeagle: that is so real

The real reason why lawyers are alchoholics... Because there is so much of a wait time between tests and scores.

i already became one in undergrad so ill fit right in
Are the 7sage app requirements as far as essays go accurate? I would love to spend my summer preparing my applications but I dont want to waste time writing essays that wont be there. Is there a way to know what will be on the apps, or when those apps will be available to view? Or should I just focus on my PS and DS for now?
@RasheedWallaceFan: they were accurate for me, but school requirements change year to year and there's no way for anyone to know for sure
