You could also increase product prices however you have to bare in mind whether the customers will pay that little bit extra to pay for the product. Another option, but more risky, is to gain more credit from creditors but this will bring interest costs and adds another liability for the future. When having too much money in a cash flow you should reinvest the capital back into the business in order to advance in technology, assets or staff. This will help the company move forward and improve the service offered to consumers. Another option is to put the money in a savings account, premium bonds or shares. This will provide more interest on your money and let it grow instead of letting it just sit around gathering dust. The final problem, difficulty in predicting cash flow costs, should be resolved by asking your sale assistants, doing market research or asking an experienced accountant for guidance.

...characters. The first choice that indicates that choices have consequences was when Baba slept with Sanaubar, Ali’s wife. The next choice was when Amir hid his money and watch under Hassan’s bed. And the last, was Amir’s choice of not helping Hassan as he was getting raped. The first choice that leads to a consequence was Baba’s choice of sleeping with Sanaubar, Ali’s wife. After Baba slept with Sanaubar, the result was Hassan. Baba did this because, ``Ali was sterile`` (pg 243). The first reason that this was a bad choice was because; Baba was never able to treat Hassan as his son. Every time Baba tried to show some compassion towards Hassan, Amir would get jealous. For example, when Baba got a plastic surgeon to come over from India to fix Hassan’s harelip for his birthday, Amir got jealous because he thought that Hassan’s scar was the reason of Baba`s attention, “It wasn’t fair. Hassan hadn`t done anything to earn Baba`s affections; he`d just been born with that stupid harelip. `` (pg 50). Another consequence from Baba sleeping with Sanaubar was; Baba, Ali and Rahim Khan had to keep this a secret from Amir and Hassan. Of course, after Amir found this out, he was furious. This is why Baba`s choice of sleeping with Sanaubar was a bad decision. The next example of choices leading to consequences was when Amir hid his birthday money and watch under Hassan`s bed. Amir did this because he wanted to get rid of Hassan because he felt very guilty after the rape. This was a bad choice...

...unemployed. In some places (for example : Orava, Čadca) it´s 24 percent because there are small companies and these companies offer job for few people. In Orava are the largest companies : Johnson Controls, MTS, Panasonic or Hydac but these companies aren´t big as some companies in some big cities, which means that only some people have job there. People must look for some job abroad. The most popular places for work among slovak people are : the Czech republik, Austria, England and nowadays Norway,too.

...Sports in the 1990s Today, athletes are treated as celebrities. They get paid millions of dollars just to play the game they love. Thirty years ago, though, it was a lot different. Professional athletes did not make that much money then, but today some of the most famous athletes are among the richest people in the world. Athletes of the past did not find themselves in as much trouble as many of them do today. 1990’s sports were dramatically affected by the economic culture. There were some big events that happened in the 1990’s. Out of all of them, the O.J. Simpson case was probably the most notorious event. O.J. Simpson was one of the greatest football players to ever play the game. The way the public viewed him changed drastically on June 12, 1994.

Conclusion The death of the “American Dream” was a notable part of the works of F. Scott Fitzgerald. His use of symbolism and extensive writings on the large gap between the social classes demonstrated why he felt this way. According to his writings, Fitzgerald was of the opinion that where a person fell in the class system would play a huge role in how the American dream played out for them. Social class in America would determine the lifestyle, manners, wealth and opportunity which could be achieved. For those unlucky enough not to be the winner in the roll of the dice, it was a dream that would be seen as false, unattainable...

...Introduction “Despite significant progress made in some developing countries, almost half the current world population continues to live in poverty. The world population today stands at about 6.6 billion people and is expected to grow to at least 9.2 billion by the year 2050” (Leisinger, 2007). Giving to non-profit organizations not only helps United States citizens, but people all over the world. Without individuals, large corporations, and small businesses donating to nonprofit organizations the poverty population will only increase. What is a Small Business? “To be considered a small business on average the company has to have no more than 500 employees, and the most any small business can have is 1,500 employees (U. S. Small Business Administration, 2014).” When people think about small businesses, they think of the mom and pop stores within their community. However, small businesses are the majority of whom customers give their business. “According to the United States Small Business Administration’s (SBA) Office of Advocacy, 99.7 percent of all U.S. firms are small businesses (Cooper, 2012).” What is a Nonprofit Organization? A non-profit organization is an organization whose efforts are driven to generate a profit for a chosen cause. Non-profit organizations can be classified into five central categories: trade associations, charitable organizations, social clubs, government groups, and political groups” (Starting a Non-Profit Organization).
