Empire Comparison

An empire comprises a sovereign state that controls several territories and people. Empires usually rise and grow as they expand influence and power and can fall when they lose control and authority. To better understand these processes, it is advisable to compare and relate specific empires against each other. By comparing different empires, individuals can see that the process of growth has some differences as well as similarities across empires. The following paper will compare and contrast the development/creation and the fall/decline of the Roman Empire, the Ghanaian Empire, and the Ottoman Empire.

The Development/Creation of the Empires

Both the Roman Empire, the Ghanaian Empire, and the Ottoman Empire were among the largest and most powerful empires in the world’s history. The Roman Empire started in 27 BC when Augustus Caesar declared himself as the first Roman emperor (Gibbon, 2020). The Ghanaian Empire, on the other hand, began in the 6th century CE when the Soninke people united under Dinga Cisse. Dinge was the first King of Ghanaian Empire (Cartwright, 2019). The Ottoman Empire started at the end of the 13th century during the destruction of the Seljuk Turk Empire.

Military structure contributed to the development of the three empires. In Rome, men were grouped into classes according to their wealth since soldiers were providing their own military equipment. The Romans believed that the wealthy individuals had the most to lose from any Roman defeat. So, the wealthy were motivated to be effective and good soldiers. On the other hand, Ghana had a huge military force, which was responsible for controlling and safeguarding trade. This made it easier for the rulers of the empire to tax and receive gifts from the leaders of nearby regions (Steve, 2020). The Ottoman Empire, on the contrary, had advanced military tactics and organizations that made it possible for the empire to develop and grow.

Economic factors also contributed to the development of the empires. Romans introduced a silver coin known as denarius that became the unit of currency. The Romans also participated in trading activities across the Mediterranean Sea, which created several opportunities for growth and economic interactions. Similarly, Ghana participated in the salt trade, which was a rare commodity across West Africa at the moment. This opened a new opportunity for revenue generation. Also, Brisk trading contributed to the economic stability of the region. According to Cartwright (2019), Ghanaians conducted the ivory trade, slave trade, copper trade, and gold trade. On the other hand, Ottomans traded luxury commodities such as tobacco, spices, furs, and silk, etc. This contributed a lot to the growth and development of the empire.

Political factors also contributed to the development of both the Roman Empire, the Ghanaian Empire, and the Ottoman Empire. Rome political institutions demonstrated resilience and adaptability as Rome extended its influence and control over more and more regions, allowing it to integrate diverse populations. In Ghana, rulers created a political institution and system where foreign traders were taxed when entering or leaving the empire. Rulers also made it easier to influence and control both the local trade and the trading activities across the Sahara Desert, hence providing the empire with a sound commercial base. The political structure of the Ottoman empire facilitated the development and growth of the empire.

The Decline/Fall of the Empires

All three empires began to decline after multiple military defeats. The Roman Empire declined in 476 CE when the last Roman emperor, Romulus, was defeated by Odoacer, a Germanic leader, who became the first German barbarian to rule the Roman people. Conversely, Ghana Empire was destroyed in 1240 by Sundiata Keita, and what was left of the Ghana Empire was incorporated to form the Mali Empire. The Ottoman Empire started to decline throughout the 1500s, 1600s, 1700s, and 1800s. And in 1922, the Ottoman Empire came to an end following the conclusion of World War 1.

Political factors contributed to the fall of the three empires. Political instability and war drove the Roman Empire into chaos (Andrews, 2019). As the situation worsened, many Romans lost trust in their leadership. Political instability also contributed to the decline of the Ghanaian Empire. The constant threat of external invasion weakened the political system of the empire. Similarly, political instability played a leading role in the decline of the Ottoman Empire. The political instability during the 1890s led to international negativity towards the empire (Briney, 2019). The Balkan Wars and rebellions by Turkish people increased the instability further. The Balkan Wars are two battles that took place in 1912 and 1913 in the Balkan Peninsula.

Economic factors also contributed to the fall of the empires. The Roman Empire experienced severe economic crises (such as overspending, inflation, and taxation), which weakened the territory. The Ghana Empire, on the contrary, experienced prolonged droughts that made it hard to sustain livelihood. The Ghana Empire was also suspended from trading gold, silver, salt, and other vital commodities, making it vulnerable to constant defeat. The Ottoman Empire experienced economic difficulties that frustrated the empire during the 16th and 17th centuries. These economic difficulties started in the late sixteenth century when the British and Dutch closed the old routes for international trade through the Middle East. The Ottoman Empire also experienced inflation due to the constant imbalance of trade between East and West regions and the entry of valuable metals such as gold and silver into Europe from America.

Influence of the Empires on our Society Today

The Roman Empire had the greatest influence on society today. Areas such as law, government, religion, language, architecture, and engineering have been influenced the most. The Roman Empire has also influenced science and technology.

Roman law had a vital influence over today’s laws. Legal ideas such as trial by jury, contracts, civil rights, legal wills, corporations, and personal property were all influenced by the Laws of the Romans. Several governments today were also influenced by the Roman Empire. Ideas such as veto, representation, and balance of power were developed by the Romans. Also, many languages have emerged from Latin. These languages are known as Romance languages, and they include Spanish, French, Romanian, Italian, and Portuguese. The architecture and buildings of Ancient Rome have also influenced many building designs and ideas today. This influence can be seen in government buildings and large banks. Additionally, Roman innovations have influenced engineering and construction throughout the western world. Romans built strong and durable roads that facilitated trade and helped their military forces to out-maneuver and out-pace their enemies (D’Altroy, 2018). Most of these roads are still utilized today. Also, the Roman Empire has pioneered advancement in science and technology, creating different methods and tools that have shaped the world.

Assignment 1 Module 7

A large retail company wants to determine which investment project it should invest in. Since you are the vice president of the company, you have been asked to analyze these two projects and report back to the board of directors regarding which of these two projects the company should undertake. Project A has an initial investment cost of $42,000. This project is expected to produce $9,450 in net cash flows each year for 7 years. Project B has an initial investment cost of $36,750 with an expected net cash flow of $7,875 per year for 5 years. Both investments have a 10% cost of capital.

  • What is each project’s NPV?
  • What is each project’s IRR?
  • What is the payback period for each project?
  • Which investment project do you recommend for your company? Be sure to explain why you arrived at the decision that you did.

—PLEASE USE THE RESOURCES —

https://saylordotorg.github.io/text_managerial-accounting/s12-02-net-present-value.html

***** Key Point of Lesson 1

  • Net present value (NPV) is considered the ideal capital budget decision-making tool managers can use for making an investment decision on a project because it takes into consideration the time value of money and the maximizing of intrinsic value. This lesson also covers how to calculate NPV.*****
https://saylordotorg.github.io/text_managerial-accounting/s12-03-the-internal-rate-of-return.html

***** Key Point of Lesson 2

  • The IRR is yet another common tool used by managers to assess an investment. The IRR is basically the rate of return that makes the NPV of all cash flows from a project equal zero. This lesson defines and explains IRR and how to calculate it.*****
https://saylordotorg.github.io/text_managerial-accounting/s12-05-the-payback-method.html

Key Point of Lesson 3

  • One of the simplest investment decision-making tools used by management to determine whether or not to invest in an investment project is the payback period. It allows you to use the time period needed to recover the cost of a project when making a capital budgeting decision. This module explains the payback period and how to calculate it.

PART 1: ANALYZING YOUR PERSONAL FINANCESPART 2: REFLECTION QUESTIONS
SCENARIO: Your monthly budget is going through some changes over the next three months. The good news is that your income has increased because of your strong performance at work. However, health care and miscellaneous costs have also gone up. You will need to reallocate your monthly budget based on these changes. The changes are represented by embedded formulas in the MONTHLY BUDGET tables above, located inside the shaded cells.QUESTION 1: In step 4 and step 6, you created several graphs. Explain the reasons for the graph types that you selected. How will the graphs you created help readers understand the financial data?Your Answer (150 words or less):
STEP 1: Enter the previous values you obtained from the Unit 2 Touchstone into the MONTH 1 BUDGET. Important: Before you do, be sure to divide each dollar amount by 12. Remember, the Unit 2 Touchstone was an annual basis while this Touchstone is a monthly basis. If you no longer have the previous values, create new ones. Remember to start by entering your income and be sure the MONTH 1 BUDGET balances.QUESTION 2: Explain the results of your financial analysis in steps 1-6 in terms of the following: • Overall progress toward your savings goals • Changes you might make to the budget to improve progress in the coming months • Economic or life impacts that may affect your budget in the futureYour Answer (150 words or less):
STEP 2: Now create your MONTH 2 BUDGET and your MONTH 3 BUDGET above. Do not change the predetermined costs for Health Care in the second month or Miscellaneous in the third month. Do not modify the income in either month. Remember that your monthly income must equal your monthly expenditures (including savings). Look ahead to step 3 to see how you can use formulas for proper balancing.QUESTION 3: Assume that your income continues to grow, but consumer prices also rise due to inflation. Determine how economic factors like these might affect your financial analysis one year from now: A. What economic trends might you need to account for when making a one-year projection? B. How might you plan for unexpected expenses when making a one-year projection?Your Answer (150 words or less): A. B.
STEP 3: Your MONTH 2 BUDGET and your MONTH 3 BUDGET may or may not be balanced. To check, do the following: • Enter a formula to calculate your total expenditures. Adjust your expenditures until the total equals your monthly income. • Next, enter formulas in the percent column to calculate each expenditure as a percentage of the total expenditure.
STEP 4: Using the tools in Excel, make a graph for each of the three budgets to show your spending allocation. You may use a pie chart, column chart, bar chart, or some other graph type. Review the tutorial in Unit 1 called Data Visualization if you need a refresher on graphing. If your embedded graphs block your view, move them off the work area, either downward or to the right.
STEP 5: Fill in the table for SAVINGS PROGRESS located at the top right of this spreadsheet: • Enter your monthly savings from steps 1-4. The cumulative savings column will calculate automatically. • Recall your total savings goal from the Unit 2 Touchstone. In the last column, record how much more money you need to save in order to reach your goal. • If you can’t recall your savings goal, create a new one so you’re able to complete the table.
STEP 6: Using the tools in Excel, make a graph that shows your incremental progress toward your savings goal based on the data in the SAVINGS PROGRESS table: • Select a graph type that best illustrates your progress. Move the graph off the work area if it obstructs your view. • Finally, using steps 1-6 as a reference, complete the REFLECTION QUESTIONS on the right side of this spreadsheet.
