net (network) is a generic top-level domain A generic top-level domain is one of the categories of top-level domains (TLDs) maintained by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) for use on the Internet (gTLD) used on the Internet The Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use the standardized Internet Protocol Suite . It is a network of networks that consists of millions of private and public, academic, business, and government networks of local to global scope that are linked by copper wires, fiber-optic cables, wireless connections, and's Domain Name System The Domain Name System is a hierarchical naming system for computers, services, or any resource participating in the Internet. It associates various information with the domain names assigned to each of the participants. Most importantly, it translates domain names meaningful to humans into the numerical (binary) identifiers associated with. The net gTLD is currently operated by VeriSign VeriSign, Inc. is an American company based in Mountain View, California that operates a diverse array of network infrastructure, including two of the Internet's thirteen root nameservers, the generic top-level domains for .com and .net, one of the largest SS7 signaling networks in North America, and the RFID directory for EPCGlobal. VeriSign also. Registrations are processed via accredited registrars and internationalized domain names An internationalized domain name is an Internet domain name that contains one or more non-ASCII characters. Such domain names could contain letters with diacritics, as required by many non-English languages, or characters from non-Latin scripts such as Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese or Hindi. However, the standard for domain names does not allow such are also accepted (see details).
net is one of the original top-level domains[1] (the other five being com .com is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) used on the Internet's Domain Name System. It was one of the original top-level domains (TLDs, the other five being .edu, .gov, .mil, .net and .org) established in January 1985, and has grown to be the largest TLD in use. It was originally administered by the United States Department of Defense. The DoD, edu edu is the sponsored top-level domain for educational institutions, primarily those in the United States. Although not officially mandated for much of the domain's existence, in practice it has been used primarily for U.S.-based four-year universities. Starting in 2001, it was officially restricted to accredited postsecondary institutions and, gov .gov, pronounced "dot-gov," is a sponsored top-level domain restricted for use by government entities in the United States. The .gov domain is administered by the General Services Administration , an independent agency of the United States federal government. The URL for registration services is http://www.dotgov.gov , mil mil is the sponsored top-level domain for the United States Department of Defense and its subsidiary organizations. It was one of the first top-level domains, created in January 1985, and org org is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) used in the Internet's Domain Name System (DNS). In the typical style of most gTLDs, org is sometimes pronounced in word form as 'org', 'dot-org', or 'dot-oh-are-gee (O R G)' when spoken, although not all users of the TLD agree on this usage) despite not being mentioned in RFC 920, having been created in January 1985. It was initially intended to be used only for network providers (such as Internet service providers An Internet service provider is a company that offers its customers access to the Internet. The ISP connects to its customers using a data transmission technology appropriate for delivering Internet Protocol datagrams, such as dial-up, DSL, cable modem, wireless or dedicated high-speed interconnects). However, there are no formal restrictions on who can register a net domain name. Therefore, while still popular with network operators, it is often treated as a second com. It is currently the fourth most popular top-level domain, after com, cn .cn is the country code top-level domain for the People's Republic of China, and de .de is the country code top-level domain for the Federal Republic of Germany. DENIC (the Network Information Centre responsible for .de domains) does not require specific second-level domains, as it is the case with the .uk domain range for example.[2]
VeriSign VeriSign, Inc. is an American company based in Mountain View, California that operates a diverse array of network infrastructure, including two of the Internet's thirteen root nameservers, the generic top-level domains for .com and .net, one of the largest SS7 signaling networks in North America, and the RFID directory for EPCGlobal. VeriSign also, the operator of net after acquiring Network Solutions Network Solutions, LLC is a technology company which was founded in 1979. The domain name registration business has become the most important division of the company. As of January 2009, Network Solutions managed more than 6.6 million domain names. Their size, founding status, and longevity have made them one of the most important corporations, held an operations contract that expired on June 30, 2005. ICANN ICANN is the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. Headquartered in Marina Del Rey, California, United States, ICANN is a non-profit corporation that was created on September 18, 1998 in order to oversee a number of Internet-related tasks previously performed directly on behalf of the U.S. government by other organizations, notably, the organization responsible for domain management, sought proposals from organizations to operate the domain upon expiration of the contract. VeriSign regained the contract bid, and secured its control over the net registry for another six years.
Naming exploits
In addition to being an abbreviation for "network", "net" is also a romanisation In linguistics, romanization or romanisation, alternately spelt as latinization or latinisation , is the representation of a written word or spoken speech with the Roman (Latin) alphabet, or a system for doing so, where the original word or language uses a different writing system (or none). Methods of romanization include transliteration, for of the Russian Russian is the most geographically widespread language of Eurasia, the most widely spoken of the Slavic languages, and the largest native language in Europe. Russian belongs to the family of Indo-European languages and is one of three living members of the East Slavic languages, the others being Belarusian and Ukrainian (and possibly Rusyn, word нет ("no" or "not", also commonly romanised as the more authentically pronounced "nyet"), and a domain name like "object.net" can be interpreted as "there is no object". Some domains exploit this fun, for example mozga.net (brain absent).

Q. I have beginning retained earnings and ending retained earnings and no dividend information. How do I solve for net income using the equation Beginning retained earnings + NI dividends = ending retained earnings? You have dividend information that says "dividend is 10% of net income". Can you solve for net income?

A. You can't...but 2 things, if there is no dividend information at all your fair to assume there was no issuance (maybe a declaration), secondly the question may say just that verabally, something like "No dividend information exists" etc. meaning there is nothing to report. That would let you solve for N/I.
