...years, Arthur King dreamed of owning his own business. One afternoon, he noticed a newspaper ad for the sale of a bookstore in Cannon Beach, Oregon: The ad provided a telephone number, so King called Mary Becker and arranged a meeting for the following week. When he arrived in Cannon Beach, King discovered a small store on a busy street in the heart of town. The building that housed the shop was an attractive older structure that had been remodeled and was in good repair. Inside, the fixtures were clean and well maintained, and the shelves were stocked with best-sellers, travel guides, cookbooks, "how-to" books, and the usual bookstore merchandise. Mary Becker had owned and operated the Haystack Bookstore for over 20 years. She showed King her accounting records disclosing the cost of inventories and the earnings of the bookstore for the past 5 years. She also indicated that Cannon Beach was growing more popular as a summer resort and as a year-round residence. King wanted to purchase the business but explained that he could only afford to pay $45,000 in cash. Becker was eager to sell, so she put King in touch with an individual who was willing to lend him the remaining $80,000. The loan would be secured by the land and building, bear a 10% interest rate, and require eight annual payments of $10,000 plus accrued interest. After some discussion, King agreed to these terms and signed a purchase agreement with Becker and a loan agreement with the lender. No cash was exchanged...

...1- Discuss the reasons that a manufacturing company like Cloudveil might experience this type of cash flow problem. Is this a sign or poor management or is the nature of the business? Inadequate cash flow is a symptom of a management problem in a business. Poor cash flow management is known to have placed an end to even successful large businesses. There's an old adage about business that "cash is king" and, if that's so, then cash flow is the blood that keeps the heart of the kingdom pumping. Cash flow is one of the most critical components of success for a small or mid-sized business. Without cash, profits are meaningless. Many a profitable business on paper has ended up in bankruptcy because the amount of cash coming in doesn't compare with the amount of cash going out. Reasons of cash flow problem * Allowing customers too much credit: Allowing customers too much credit can put a company in a vulnerable position as you keep outlaying costs to complete the work yet are not getting any income to fund new or existing orders. * Slow paying Accounts: As mentioned above with allowing customers too much credit, the same thing can be said for slow paying customers. If you are doing a job for a customer then waiting 30-60 + days for the invoice to be paid plus new orders are continuing to come in, you may find yourself in a cash flow crunch. * Sudden or rapid growth: This is a big one, rapid growth sounds like a positive direction to be going in but It is if you...

In your own words, describe the principle challenge that Burger King is trying to address. Burger King over the years has been struggling in the market, because of an over complicated menu. They changed from what started them out with success to try to target another market, but I feel they realized why change to another market when they were already successful to begin with. 2. Summarize the differences between fast food and fast-casual in terms of their menus, pricing, eating experiences, and patrons. Prices usually are higher in fast-casual, but the food is usually considered healthier. Sometimes it is made in front of you or it is made fresh at the restaurant. Sometimes fast casual is basically like a diner where you can sit down and eat with actual plate. An example would be buffalo wild wings, or panda express. 3. Describe at least 3 business implications that occur when a fast food chain alters its menu. Advertising more nutritious items tends to target more consumers. Getting rid of children’s menu to not false advertise how healthy a meal is which is a more business based decision. McDonald’s having a dollar drink would increase sales due to a high demand. http://www.wsj.com/articles/find-the-missing-cash-register-1457472672?mod=djem_jiewr_BU_domainid "Find the Missing Cash Register", Smith, March 8 ...
