X. Переведите текст письменно.

The foundations of the world’s biggest company were laid in 1891 when Gerard Philips established a company in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, to manufacture light bulbs and other electrical products. In the beginning, it concentrated on making carbon-filament lamps and by the turn of the century was one of the largest producers in Europe. Developments in new lighting technologies fuelled a steady programme of expansion and, in 1914, it established a research laboratory to stimulate product innovation.

In the 1920th, Philips decided to protect its innovations in X-ray radiation and radio reception with patents. This marked the beginning of the diversification  of its products range. Since then, Philips has continued to develop new and exciting product ideas like the compact disk, which it launched in 1983. Other interesting landmarks include the production of Philip’s 100-millionth TV set in 1984 and 250-millionth Philishave electric shaver in 1989.

Philips’ headquarters are still in Eindhoven. Philips employs 256,400 people all over the world, and has sales and service outlets in 150 countries. Its shares are listed on sixteen stock exchanges in nine countries and it is active in 100 businesses.

DOUBLE - ENTRY BOOKKEEPING

Historians consider 14th century Italian merchants to have developed the practice of double-entry bookkeeping, which is used by modern accounting. The method was invented when investors were looking for the way of recording the financial data of ventures that lasted for months or even years (for example, the commissioning of a merchant fleet) and in which many investors had shares.

According to the Italian system the balance sheet consisted of two sections: one listing assets and the results of sales, purchases, investments in assets, while the other recording names and shares of shareholders and other liabilities incurred. If the venture were successful, the owners could receive their portion of the profit. Although the earliest double-entry books appeared in 1340 in Genoa, the first published book on bookkeeping was written in 1494 by a Franciscan monk Luca Pacioli. This work summarized the main accounting principles that have remained unchanged up to date. Additional accounting works were published during the 16th century in Italian, German, Dutch, French and English, these works including early formulations of the concepts of assets, liabilities and income. The Industrial Revolution and the development of trade required more complex financing system and further improvement of accounting techniques that had to be adequate to handle mechanization, factory-manufacturing operations, and the mass production of goods and services.
