...grandfather took me on my first of many fishing trips to a small lake near his house. When his grandchildren visited, we all went along with him. He gave each of us our own special fishing poles, and he taught us everything about fishing, from how to set up our poles to how to bait our hooks, and eventually how to clean fish. As I grew older, our fishing trips grew from hour-long visits to a local lake to trips to the coast, where we would go on deep-sea fishing expeditions. He found relaxation and peace in the hobby, and it became my favorite way to relax as well. I have decided that there is no reason that I cannot turn this hobby that I love into a profitable business, and have decided to become a deep sea fishing guide. Type of business The business that I intend to start is a charter fishing boat business. The name of the business will be Blue Water Fishing Guides. I will operate the business out of Islamorada, Florida, a small town located in the Florida Keys. I will start the business with two fishing boats with a total passenger capacity of 6 guest fishermen per boat in addition to a captain. One boat will operate on a daily basis as long as there are at least two customers, with the second boat being in use if the first boat’s capacity is exceeded. There are several different variations on the charter fishing boat business, and my business will target the higher-end market segment. On higher-end fishing charter boats, the captain provides all of the equipment, baits...

...Philippines a haven for cigarette smugglers By Chay Florentino Hofileña, Newsbreak Posted at 05/26/2009 7:55 AM | Updated as of 05/26/2009 8:20 AM (First of two parts) Fisherman Lino Bocalan became legend in the 1950s to 1960s after he chanced upon an alternative and more lucrative profession: cigarette smuggling. Beneath the seawaters of his sleepy hometown of Tanza in Cavite, Bocalan discovered gun powder among the remnants of Japanese or American ships from World War II. The finds proved especially useful for fishermen who engaged in dynamite fishing back then. Illiterate but supposedly gifted with numbers, Bocalan eventually linked up with traders in Mindanao who were drawn to his supply of gun powder. In exchange, they offered him “blue-seal” or imported cigarettes, which were illegally, and easily, transported from areas like Borneo because of the South’s un-policed shorelines. Before long, Bocalan built a fortune and a name in an industry that grew in Tanza, aided in part by the presence of Sangley Point, a former American base where blue-seal cigarettes were sold and taken out from its commissary. He eventually traded directly with Borneo, cut the southern connection, and became a millionaire. Decades later, the Tanza cottage industry has evolved into a lucrative national, and even a global, industry. The southern backdoor, where traders of smuggled cigarettes used to taunt law enforcers, has become an outmoded entry point. Smugglers have become more brazen,...

...FACULTY : FACULTY OF ACCOUNTANCY PROGRAM : MASTER OF ACCOUNTANCY COURSE: MANAGEMENT CONTROL AND DECISION MAKING COURSE CODE : MAC 700 Case Study 1 BATES BOATYARD Upon returning to civilian life after several years in the Navy, Sarah Bates sought a small business that she might buy. Being a thrifty person with no dependents, she had built up a fair amount of savings, the accumulation of which had been aided by the fact that she had seen considerable duty in areas where there had been nothing to buy. Bates finally located a small boatyard for sale in a town on the coast of Maine where she had spent many summers. The proprietor was getting along in years and wished to retire. He was offering the yard for sale at what Bates believed to be a fair starting price that could probably be worked down to a very reasonable figure through negotiation. It is not necessary here to go into the details of investigation and negotiation. Bates bought the yard. The business being somewhat larger than she could finance alone, she had borrowed the additional funds required from a friend, giving a mortgage on the property as security. Bates realized the need for adequate accounting records if she was to manage the business successfully. The records on hand were for cash receipts and disbursements only. Actual balance sheets and profit and loss statements that had been prepared for the former owner for tax purposes were also available. A person who was a reasonably capable bookkeeper and...

The business Flow of yacht industry as below,Boat show→Contract/Spec. Negotiation→Simple Sketch drawing→Manufacturing→Shipping/delivering→After sale service. At class, I was thinking the high price of buying a yacht so I raised a question “The yacht price is high, is the payment term important for your company? What is the payment term between you and your most customers? Also compare to your western customers, is there any difficulty to negotiate the payment term with Chinese as you now will be focusing your new market in China? ” James Fwu indicates that pay in advance is very important. Normally when signing the sales contract, 10% deposit is required. And each step of manufacturing the yacht will require 10% payment as well. Previously, most customers will agree on this payment, however, as globally bad economy which makes the negotiation becomes harder. Some customers decline to pay after they indeed see the finished product. Horizon will try to insist the 10% advanced payment because each yacht’s high cost relating to investors fund, not Horizon group only. We need to be responsible to our investors. The 2nd question I raised “You mentioned the shipping/delivering yachts need to be very careful and it requires high insurance fee, how is the shipping term to ship your yachts? FOB/ IF/Others?

...people argue by asking the question, which is a better vacation? Is it a cruise vacation or an all- inclusive resort vacation? There are a lot of things that play a part in which is a better vacation; anything from food, activities, age of people to the price. My wife and I have taken both of these vacations in the past 12 months and will try to share our likes and dislikes. Some of the highlights are the same. They both have lots and lots of food. They both are full of fun with plenty to do and if you get bored, I would consider the experience your own fault. Our first cruise experience came with the opportunity to spend it with six other friends back in May of 2008. Carnival was the one we choose because people refer to it as a party boat (Cruise mates). If a person is looking for more of a party atmosphere, go with carnival. That is what we did and the reviews were correct. For a younger crowd; go in the spring or fall and for fewer days because kids are in school. Our first resort was nine days in Jamaica at an all inclusive Sandals Resort. The time was March 20th 2009 which was our honey moon. What makes Sandals the best place to spend your vacation, there is eight other locations over the island. People stayed at the less expensive location and played at all the rest which is included in the price. While everything is included in the price for the cruise; the drinks were extra. They offered what they call a fun pass. All extras were added to it like a credit card...

...Background Steve Davidson canoed recreationally for more than 20 years and had done woodworking for more than 15 years. For the last 3 years, Davidson had been building canoes for himself, using them, and then selling them for marginal profits once he was finished with them. When he decided he was going to purchase a canoe, he was shocked by the expensive prices for poor quality boats. Davidson saw an opportunity to build handcrafted cedar canoes, which he would sell for a premium. When Davidson decided he was going to pursue this business, he enrolled in a 12-week business program at the Entrepreneurial Manufacturing Generator (EMG) in St. Thomas Ontario. In August 1998, Davidson was opening up the Catfish Creek Canoe Company (CCC). He was going to specialize in manufacturing and selling 16-foot Peterborough canoes. Problem Statement: Market the Peterborough canoe in a proper location with an appropriate selling price. Symptoms Steve Davidson is going to experience many different situations while starting up Catfish Creek Canoe Company. He is planning to produce 30 canoes in the first year and average one canoe every ten days which would leave a 65 day buffer period; although, it will take him almost 12 days to produce his first canoes. An experienced craftsman can only make 25 to 30 canoes per year, so if requests increase, Davidson will have to hire more employees to insist him with the demand. The canoe industry is also seasonable; people will not...
