DEBIT CARD: An increasing popular means of accessing the funds in a bank checking account. While debit cards look (and taste) almost exactly like credit cards, they are fundamentally different in how they are processed on a bank's end of the transaction.

As such, debit cards are better suited for the title "plastic money" than credit cards.

ACCOUNTING PROFIT: The difference between a business's revenue and it's accounting expenses. This is the profit that's listed on a company's balance sheet, appears periodically in the financial sector of the newspaper, and is reported to the Internal Revenue Service for tax purposes.

Some accounting expense is not an opportunity cost and some opportunity cost is does not show up as an accounting expenses.

[What's This?]
