Month to date MTD is a period starting at the beginning of the current month and ending at the current date. Month to date is used in many contexts, mainly for recording results of an activity in the time between a date exclusive, since this day may not yet be complete and the beginning of the current month. In the context of finance, MTD is often provided in financial statements detailing the performance of a business entity. Providing current MTD results, as well as MTD results for one or more past months as of the same date, allows owners, managers, investors, and other stakeholders to compare the company s current performance to that of past periods. MTD describes the return so far this month. For example the month to date return for the stock is 8 . This means from the beginning of the current month until the current date, stock has appreciated by 8 . Comparing MTD measures can be misleading if not much of the month has occurred, or the date is not clear. MTD measures are more sensitive to early changes than late changes. pre Example MTD factory Orders for January 20th Order January 2 80,000 lbs Order January 13 40,000 lbs MTD shipments 120,000 lbs pre See also Year to date YTD Quarter to date QTD Year ending Moving annual total MAT External links http www.investopedia.com terms q mtd.asp Investopedia Definition Category Business terms Business term stub accounting stub it Mtd ... more details
Unreferenced date December 2009 Orphan date December 2009 Nasi in Arabic was, according to Khalid Shaukat , cn date February 2012 reason author is insufficient where did he state this an intercalary month of the Jahiliyyah inserted in April after Dhu al Hijjah . Before 632 CE when Nasi was forbidden, Muharram was normally in April, but would be in May whenever Nasi was inserted in April after Dhu al Hijjah. When Nasi was inserted, it would be counted as the first month of the year and the Hajj would be delayed so that it would occur in the month of Nasi instead of in Dhu al Hijjah. On the tenth of Nasi they used to take a lamb out of the flocks to slaughter on the 14th beginning at sunset on the 13th . This four day celebration was called Qurban Eid Qurbani , but if the spring equinox had not occurred before the 14th, Nasi was extended by an extra intercalary lunar month into Muharram to ensure the lamb would be slaughtered on the day before the first full moon after the equinox. After 632 CE Nasi was never allowed to be spread over two lunar months again as Muharram, and the Muslim year was restricted to only 12 lunar months. For some time after this habit the first month was called Nasi by some and Muharram by others until eventually the 2nd Caliph Umar made the 12 lunar month system official and declared Muharram as the official name of the first month. At this point the month of Nasi became confined to the history books as Islam s lost intercalary month, but the importance of 10th of the month before Muharram continued and developed into Eid al Adha .
