...fgd There are no reasons on why Burger Barn executives should not be optimistic of Creamy Creations as Burger Barn is a fast-food chain and is a bigger organization that has more model in terms of cash as part of the assets compared to Creamy Creations and they will have the ability to further blossom the business. At the moment when Burger Barn took over Creamy Creations, it is still profitable and the financial numbers have rose since they took over management. But the executives of Burger Barn need to prepare good plan if bad things may happen to the business, because Creamy Creations is still relatively new business and it was getting praised by the families and students from local community college. Burger Barn is a fast food chain, so they treasure time so they can’t make more money, but if they apply of system to Creamy Creations, it will cause trouble in the future, because the customer base of Creamy Creations are families and students from local, they will not want to be rushed when they come to buy their favorite ice cream at Creamy Creations. Besides that, Creamy Creations has already established the brand image and also customers have the faith in them. The potential future pitfalls that Burger Barn should be aware of will be that the top management message order might not reach the behind-the-counter workers as it is a big organization and it uses a hierarchy level communication flow.

...Muhammad Ali. Business Economics GM545 Sep 11 Sec C mtaimurali@gmail.com Gasoline is most valuable resource in today's world. It is the driving engine for all the develop and developing nations. All the major trade is done by using the power of fossil fuels. Fossils fuels are in great demand and their also supplied in large quantities using various means. The constant fluctuation of gas prices is due to many factors like politics, war and current economic situation. Whenever there is atmosphere of hostility in the middle east region the gas prices goes up. Even though the supply of crude oil remains the same, it is governments of world or OPEC way of making extra money. They know the fuel is a product that people will buy at any price, they might consume less of other things but they will consume gas. In economic terms you can say there are very less substitute for gasoline. They are other options like electric cars and ethanol but they are too expensive for everyone. A change in quantity demand for fuel does not bring a lot of change. People will consume approximately same amount of fuel but will reduce their spending on other products. Governments know that fact and use this for their own advantage. A very good example is third world countries which are under the blessing of IMF loans, it is very hard for them to collect taxes from people so they raise fuel prices. They make car cheaper to buy and raise fuel prices, which in turns bring revenue for these government...

...Elderly Care Methods in the United States and China ANT101: Introduction to Cultural Anthropology Beverly Musso Professor: Dr. Marjorie Estivill June 26th, 2014 Elderly care, is something that has some role in every culture around the globe in one way or another, even if that way is neglecting the elderly and letting them fend for themselves, either way it is a part of humanity as a whole. Different cultures have different ways to approach this topic. I believe in the United States, and China, we are taught to respect and take care of our elders. While both countries believe in cherishing and taking care of their elders, their methods are different, because they have different ways of caring to them, have different statuses in each country, and have overall different beliefs around this topic. Each culture has their way of handling this topic, and I believe there is no correct answer to this, but exploring the different ways that cultures take on this task is important. To begin with, both the United States, and China agree that elders are important to society, and have wisdom that can only be gained through age. However, each of these countries have different ways of caring to their elders. For example china has the one child policy, which leaves a gap with much more older people then young to care for them. It is not uncommon for a Chinese household to have four grandparent’s two parents and one child. This phenomenon is known as “4-2-1”. Contrasting to the United...

...UV2561 Rev. Sept. 7, 2011 FEDEX CORP. VERSUS UNITED PARCEL SERVICE OF AMERICA, INC.: WHO WILL DELIVER RETURNS FROM CHINA? On April 17, 2006, the International Air Cargo Association hosted its first-ever meeting in China. The location could not have been more appropriate. China was shaping up to be the world’s most significant market for air cargo, and Yan Yuanyuan, director general of China’s General Administration of Civil Aviation, had just announced that China would be opening up its air cargo market to an even greater degree. The major global cargo companies had been picking up their level of investment in China and were poised for growth: FedEx Corp. had just begun construction of a major regional hub in Guangzhou and already had over 200 Chinese cities in its international network, and United Parcel Service of America, Inc. (UPS), was just completing a new logistics hub in Shanghai and had recently begun domestic Chinese express package services. The question on the minds of many was which of these two cargo giants was going to make the most of this opportunity. Spurred in part by entry into the World Trade Organization in 2001, growth in trade with China had accelerated and the need for cargo shipment and logistics support had skyrocketed. On June 18, 2004, the United States and China reached a landmark air-transportation agreement that quintupled the number of commercial cargo flights between the two countries. The agreement also allowed for the establishment...

...Bait and Switch Arenda L. Monroe Strayer University Law, Ethics, and Corporate Governance Professor Craig S. Vrabec May27, 2011 Bait and switch is a deceptive sales technique in which a store advertises its product or service at a very low price to lure customers into the store and induce the customers to buy a more expensive product by telling that the advertised product is no longer available or is of poor quality. Bait and switch is a crime in most of the states and if damages are proved, it can be the basis for a personal lawsuit for false advertising (http://definitions.uslegal.com). 1. Betty drove three hours in one-hundred degree heat. Explain if this fact has any bearing on whether or not the dealer must perform in accordance with the published advertisement. No. A dealership is not required to sell a person a car just because that person had a hard time getting to the dealership. Generally, an ad is not to offer but invitations for offers. Betty might argue that she relied to her the doctrine of detrimental reliance on the ad, the fact that Betty had some hardship to make her offer to purchase the truck does not obligate the dealership to accept her offer. Every business that deals with the general public must be aware of the various laws that have been passed to protect consumers. If you sell merchandise or provide services to consumers, you are subject to the rules and regulations set forth by the Federal Trade Commission. “The Bureau...

England havde store kolonibesiddelser i Amerika, hvordan var disse kolonier opbygget, herunder administration, økonomi og handel? - England havde 13 kolonier, som hver havde en repræsentativ forsamling, som sørgede for love for den enkelte koloni. Den udøvende magt lå hos en guvernør som var blevet udnævnt af den engelske konge. - Økonomisk set skulle al handel gå gennem moderlandet (England), det vil sige at handel mellem kolonier i Amerika var forbudt medmindre at vare kom til England hvorefter de kunne sælges videre. Kolonierne skulle også være råstofleverandør til moderlandet. Et merkantilistiske samfund. 2.

...As we analyze the probability of Southwest, we took more considerations on the ROA instead of ROE. Since Delta has the negative balance for equity, it is not consistent to compare ROE among these four companies. The ROA ratio for Southwest is quite lower than the other three peer companies. Thus, we disaggregated the ROA ratio to two parts: Profit Margin and Asset Turnover. When we further comparing these two ratios, we found that the Asset Turnover rates of Southwest are in the middle range among all these four companies. However, the Profit Margin Ratios are low compared to its peers. The Comparative Income statement of Southwest shows that it has high sales revenue but it also has relative low net income among the peer groups. It is because Southwest has high expenditures on SG&A, depreciation, depletion and amortization, which are dragging down the net income of Southwest. Furthermore, we analyze the operating income profitability by comparing the RNOA( return on net operating asset), NOPM( net operating profit margin) and NOAT( net operating asset turnover) among these four companies. Southwest has an extremely low RNOA rate compared to its peers. As shown in the exhibit 3a, southwest has a much higher P/E ratio among the peer group. Also as shown in exhibit 3b, Southwest has the highest Net PPE compared to its peers. Southwest’s high PPE increase the Net operating Asset as well as decrease its RNOA ratio. We disaggregated the RNOA to NOPM and NOAT. As we previous mentioned...
