  We present the status of the Farrell-Jones Conjecture for algebraic K-theory
for a group G and arbitrary coefficient rings R. We add new groups for which
the conjecture is known to be true and study inheritance properties. We discuss
new applications, focussing on the Bass Conjecture, the Kaplansky Conjecture
and conjectures generalizing Moody's Induction Theorem. Thus we extend the
class of groups for which these conjectures are known considerably.
