...FIN203 CRISP MARKETS By Wei-Yuan Yang 701818096 Na Zhou 701800436 Jiangan Wu 701773677 Summary We acknowledged that there are some apparent spillover effects for both traditional store and online store. For online store, which is a new business model for Crisp Markets, Crisp Markets needs to consider some aspects like WACC, payment terms & security issue, delivery and customer satisfaction. From the perspective of finance, at first, we calculate the net income and cash flow of the following six years. Then, we find out it is not appropriate for Crisp Markets to use the recommended 4% discount rate. WACC should be used as discount rate. The calculated WACC is 11.9%, which is the required return rate. After that, by using the net income we calculated beforehand and with the required return rate of 11.9%, we got both NPVs of online and traditional grocery store are positive, $3,768,359 for traditional store and $4,020,441 for online store. Meanwhile, the IRRs of traditional store and online store are 55% and 47% accordingly. The NPV of online store is approximately 6.7% higher than that of traditional store. For reason that NPV rule is the most important criteria, we recommend Crisp Markets setting up online grocery store. 1. Pro Forma Income Statement * The relevant cash flows associated with setting up traditional grocery store are: up-front renovation costs, sales, salaries, other operating expenses, rent, depreciation and...

...Crisp golden leaves lay like a blanket on the forest floor. Startled birds shot from the empty branches like a bullet, as twigs snapped and leaves crunched under my feet. As dusk settles in, I can only see faint glows through the dense and gloomy leaves. The trees seem to be dancing to the music in the evening breeze and the gentle rustle of leaves complement the overall atmosphere. The songs of birds have been replaced by an orchestra of crickets and other insects, and I seem to be their sole audience. I venture onto a thin trail that is suffocated with undergrowth and slowly, start making my way down it. The stars are just only starting to peer through the intricate patchwork of leaves and light patches of the forest floor. The light of the...

...A Day in the Life of an Anglo-Saxon I woke up shivering, it was a cold morning and the air was crisp. Frost covered the ground around my village; I got up to start a fire. My wife will be cooking on it soon as she is getting things around. My son is also waking up and will need food for what is to come today. He has been here for 16 winters and has just become a warrior like I was before; he shall also take my position of warlord of my people when the time comes. But today he joins my men in battle on a nearby village that is becoming a threat and it is my job to protect and provide for my people. Outside my village my people were awake and starting their daily routines. A select few, the bravest and the strongest people spent more time with family. This is because today they will join me in an attack on a Viking village. It is still morning and I have gathered my men to talk about what is going to happen in this day. My son was here and as I said before this is his first time going to battle. He looked strong and ready, I could see it in his face and it made me proud to see the man he has become. It also makes me proud that I will be fighting side by side with my son. After we met that morning the men went back to their families, my son and I did the same.

...RP #6 After Apple-Picking Robert Frost’s “After Apple Picking”, is a rather complex poem where motifs or sleep and death are used to characterize the speaker. The speaker of this poem is an old man, who has picked apples for a large portion of his life. He is exhausted due to the manual labor is life has contained, and he identifies death with sleep, as he begins to get ready for death. In the first two lines of the poem, a religious overtone is presented, “My long two-pointed ladder’s sticking through a tree, toward heaven still” (1-2). This may make the reader think of the biblical story of Jacob’s ladder, in which he dreams on a ladder that the angels climb up to heaven. This shows how the speaker is ready for death, and ready for the afterlife. Later on in the poem we learn of the setting of the poem as the speaker tells us, “Essence of winter sleep is on the night, the scent of apples: I am drowsing off” (7-8). It is nighttime, and the speaker is very tired, as he begins to drowse off into the night. Either it is winter, or winter is approaching, which would lead to the end of apple picking season. Through the next few lines he describes how he is looking at his apple trees through a piece of ice, saying, “looking through a pane of glass, I skimmed this morning for the drinking trough, and held against the world of hoary grass. It melted, and I let if fall and break” (10-13). He is using ice to show how winter is changing the way he perceives things, and how winter...

Mario: Now, now, Gloria Don't try to accuse me as they did. An apple! Yes, and they kicked me out for it for taking one single apple Gloria: So that's what you get. . . Mario: Could I guessed they would do that for one apple? When there were millions of them? We were hauling them to the warehouse. I saw one roll out of a broken crate. It was that big. Suddenly, I found myself putting it in my lunch bag. Do you remember that day I took our little girl out for a walk? On our way home we passed a grocery store that sold "delicious" apples at seventy centavos each. She wanted me to buy one for her but I did not have seventy centavos. She cried. So, when I saw this apple roll out of crate, I thought that Tita would love to have it. Gloria: We're not rich. We can live without apples. Mario: Why? Did God create apple trees to bear fruit for the rich alone? Didn't He create the whole world for everyone? Gloria: So, for a measly apple, you lose a job! Filching an apple that's too small a reason to kick a poor man out a work. You should ask them to give you a second chance, Mario. Mario: They won't do that. Can't you see they had waiting for me to make a...

Crisp hooks all these claims like climate change, nuclear bombs, and country that possess nuclear arms by logos,pathos and ethos. Crisp uses logic with climate change by saying,”climate change is already making resources scarce in some areas...”(Crisp 14). When the U.S bomb Hiroshima with fat boy and little boy it’s affect the weather with toxic elements that made people who survived die later. Crisp is getting “Institutions and power arrangements that tended to maintain stability for the good or ill have broken down”(Crisp 14 ).

...Developing ‘Savory Rosti’ crisps at Dreddo Dan’s p.205 Case synopsis This case exercise covers many issues found in new product and service development projects. In particular, the case examines a new type of product that is to be launched in an uncertain and unpredictable market and also carries some development risks. Above all, the project is a significant development for the company, with both the potential for major competitive benefits and some downside risk. Monica Allen, the Technical VP of PJT’s snack division, has defined the questions in her analysis of the project. She sees the key decisions as follows: • How to resource the project. In other words, how many people to devote to developing the new product. • Whether to invest in a pilot plant or, alternatively, experiment with another company’s process technology. • How much of the total development effort to outsource. • How to organize the resources that will be devoted to developing the new project. The important perspective needed to take on this case, is that one does not need to have absolute mastery of the technical aspects of the case in order to make useful comments. And as a reminder, because you may not know much about the technical issues covered in this case, this is not an excuse for either making wildly convenient assumptions about the case, or giving up completely because you do not know enough about the technical issues. This is why the questions deal with process objectives and process resourcing...

...Haroon (Ty) Aregbe The Sam Houston Speech Sleuthing the Alamo is a book about a historian, James E. Crisp, investigating and finding out some interesting truths about the Texas Revolution. In part one of the book, Crisp investigates Sam Houston’s speech that was given to a group of volunteer soldiers at Refugio. Crisp decided to take a deeper look into Houston’s speech because to his knowledge it “seemed so unlike Houston” (39). Along with believing the speech was incorrect, Crisp also does thorough research on the speech and then uses this research to prove that the speech given is wrong. Also as Crisp does his research, he finds out two surprising discoveries on Houston’s speech and how it had been recorded. When reading Houston’s speech initially, it is easy for the reader to infer that he is showing strong racial prejudice against the Tejanos. “The last drop of blood would flow before we would bow under the yoke of these half-Indians.” (38). It seems that the speech was used to turn the Tejanos into the ultimate enemy. Houston accused them of letting the Americans “struggle without any aid” (38), and went on to say that Americans and Mexican “will never get along together” (38). After reading the speech Crisp is completely stunned and confused that Houston would use such harsh words against all Mexicans. Crisp explains that his disbelief comes from his “childhood image of Sam Houston, the adopted Cherokee”(39), and his “long and friendly relationship with Native Americans”...

...Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna’s troops at the Battle of the Alamo. It was here that Davy Crockett became one of the most famous American defenders. What really happened on March 6, 1836, the day Crockett died? His death has always been controversial. Did he die fighting to the end like Walt Disney’s movie portrays, or was he violently executed? According to eyewitness Jose Enrique de la Pena’s diary, Santa Anna’s troops “...with swords in hand, fell upon these unfortunate, defenseless men just as a tiger leaps upon his prey,” (104) including Davy Crockett. Many historians have argued about the credibility of this diary, and James Crisp wanted to find out the truth as well. In his book, Sleuthing the Alamo, he goes into deep detail about what he did to try to determine if the diary was a forgery or not, and what he eventually found out....

...Brief Overview of Company Kettle Chips UK (2010) explains that in 1978 “Cameron Healy founded Kettle Foods in Salem, Oregan, USA with the aim of providing high quality, naturally sourced products.” They then go on to tell how in 1987 Cameron discovered that the British loved crisps, encouraging him to establish Kettle Foods in the UK, one year later Kettle Foods in the UK was launched in Norfolk – in order to be as close as possible to potato growers.

Initially, I did not think that my involvement within the program would provide any additional academic or moral benefit. However, my assumptions were refuted on a daily basis. Several key figures and components derived to my success throughout the semester, including my mentor, Mrs. Crisp, the office staff, and the various problems and challenges that I faced while working in the program. Together, these factors have improved my overall experience as an intern, and have provided me with the critical skills and knowledge to become a well-rounded adult. My mentor, Mrs. Crisp, portrays the ideal character and attitude to handle the fast-paced and demanding environment of the Attendance Office. Mrs. Crisp is a hard working individual, who is constantly putting others before herself to achieve peace and unity.
