The picture of earnings is different. The ground segment has high margins, which allows it to generate more income than the express division. The ground segment recorded a profit of $2.2 billion, while the express segment recorded adjusted operating income of $1.9 billion.

FedEx is poised to take a big step forward in fiscal 2016 The express segment achieved an operating margin of 8.9% for the first half of the fiscal year, up from 8.6% a year earlier. It has overtaken the ground segment in terms of earnings.

The express division's profitability is likely to rise in the second half of fiscal 2016 due to lower fuel prices. FedEx will be able to grow its express segment profit as it captures cost and revenue synergies from the acquisition of Dutch rival TNT Express. The ground business is growing.

Money is brought into a company by its activities. There are different ways to calculate revenue. Accrual accounting will include sales made on credit as revenue for goods or services delivered to the customer.

The US Government's Budget Problem

Half of the US government revenue in the year was from the public through individual income taxes, and the other half was from payroll taxes. Prior laws designate mandatory spending. The amount of money that is spent on Medicare is dictated by acts of Congress, which make Social Security mandatory spending.

Discretionary spending is spending that is voted on by Congress and approved by the president. National defense is the most discretionary spending, with the rest going to other federal agencies and support programs. How does the US pay for its costs?

It borrows money from other sources. Federal debt is financed through trust funds and domestic investors. Foreign investors and other governments own part of the debt.
