...then that company is generally considered to have good short-term financial strength. If current liablities exceed current assets, then the company may have problems meeting its short-term obligations. For example, if XYZ Company's total current assets are $10,000,000, and its total current liabilities are $8,000,000, then its current ratio would be $10,000,000 divided by $8,000,000, which is equal to 1.25. XYZ Company would be in relatively good short-term financial standing. And according to the information of Morgan company and Parker company, by comparing the two companies the current ration of Morgan it shows that Morgan in each year increases liabilities while Parker increases assets and so in meeting current obligations it seems that parker is able to increase his current obligations than Morgan because in each year he increases assets and reduces liabilities than Morgan who increases liabilities more than assets! Acidic test ratio is a stringent indicator that determines whether a firm has enough short-term assets to cover its immediate liabilities without selling inventory. The acid-test ratio is far more strenuous than the working capital ratio, primarily because the working capital ratio allows for the inclusion of inventory assets, acidic test ratio is equal to current assets –inventory divide by current liabilities. And by comparing the two companies of Morgan and Parker it shows that Parker Company has enough assets that can cover its immediate liabilities more...

...1 Chapter 16 Externalities Consumers and producers are internal to a transaction. Consumers receive a benefit from the goods they purchase, while producers pay the costs of production. An externality (sometimes called a spillover) is a cost or benefit that goes to someone external to a transaction. Pollution is a negative (cost) externality. Education and research create a positive externality. Externalities can result from consumption or production. 2 An Example: Suppose that the costs of raising livestock are mostly borne by the rancher, but there is a spillover cost. Streams nearby get polluted, and this affects people (and other species) who use the stream as well as spinach farmers who also use the water for irrigation. Ranchers will consider their own costs of production, but the costs to others could be greater than the surplus from cattle production. 1 3 Negative Externalities • If there is an external cost from production, the Marginal Social Cost is higher than the producer’s Marginal Cost (competitive Supply). • The competitive equilibrium will produce more than the optimal quantity for Society. • If there is an external cost to consumption, the Marginal Social Value is less than Demand. 4 Positive Externalities • If there is an external benefit from consumption, the Marginal Social Benefit is higher than consumer Demand. • The competitive equilibrium will produce less than the optimal quantity for Society. • If there is an external benefit...

...income distribution were very even. In addition, high inflation, interest rates, and cost of capital, which impacted the costs of inventory, marketing, and distribution – made alternative channels such as catalog-based retailing practically nonexistent, and facilitated the growth of small family-run operations and medium-sized chains that developed local expertise. Because of the macro level environment, Magazine Luiza tried to build its retail model that was truly customer centered and matched with the industrial phase of Brazil. Focusing on low-income segments, the major elements of the retail model can be viewed separated in following perspectives: operational evolution, deep customer relationships, people and management and innovative use of technology. I will discuss these building blocks of its retail model in the following paragraphs. Operational Evolution: In order to better serve low-income customers, Magazine Luiza put much effort in operation innovation in order to encourage growth while limiting costs. First, because of Brazil’s history of economic volatility and vast geographic area, procurement and distribution were critical. Magazine Luiza operated mainly in small cities that did not accommodate large local inventory stock. Magazine Luiza delivered 70% of its products directly to the customer’s residence 48 hours after the purchase. Second, Magazine Luiza focused its product...

...as determiners, and are dealt with elsewhere. There is a limited number of these words. They are notably possessive adjectives (such as my, their), numerals and quantifiers (such as one, two, three, every, many), demonstrative adjectives (such as this or that), interrogative adjectives (such as which). To learn about the use of these determining adjectives, please consult the appropriate pages. 2. Descriptive adjectives Descriptive adjectives (such as big, English, wonderful) describe the permanant or perceived qualities of a noun; their number is unlimited. New descriptive adjectives enter the language every day, often in the fertile world of slang. There are two categories of descriptive adjectives; 2.1. qualificative or qualifying adjectives , such as big, nice, complicated which express the passing or perceived qualities of a noun, and 2.2. classifying adjectives (including absolute adjectives) such as married, second, hydraulic, unique, dead which express permanent qualities or absolutes. Qualifiying adjectives are "gradable", i.e. it is possible to graduate their intensity, by the addition of an adverb of degree, such as very, quite, enough; most qualifying adjectives can also be put into comparative or superlative forms (big, bigger, biggest). Classifying adjectives cannot be graded: a person is either married, or not, or dead, or not; he or she cannot be "very married", nor "more dead" than another...

...risks? In your opinion, was it a good move? Defend your choice. Boeing adopted the radical change approach for designing and developing the 787 Dreamliner because they were in competition with Airbus and needed a new approach in which they could use innovation to stand out upon their competitiors. Boeing was looking to reduce manufactur- ing costs and development times. Boeing took an aggressive approach to apply their techniques. There was not enough time to fully establish the project or to even communicate with vendors. The project was delayed mainly because of their global supply chain network. Boeing did not have the necessary technology to fulfill the needs of the 787 Dreamliner which unfortunately caused it to have many delays and problems. In my opinion, this was not a very good decision. It was a financial burden to the company and caused unnecessary stress on the company as a whole. They were left with no choice but to make up for the losses to airlines that purchased the 787 Dreamliner. Kristin Kopicki MIS510 Boeing Case Study Due: 10/15/14 1.

... i. One of the biggest barriers of organizations in the first step is the lack of job-applicability of their programs --- a well-done needs analysis will ensure that an organization not only needs the program but also give a good idea of whether the program will be effective or a waste of time and money. ii. The next mistake organizations make is that they fail to set clear, concise instructional objectives. In order for training to be effective, the training has to have a very narrow goal, i.e. we need to teach the employee to perform the task of connecting calls via a switchboard. iii. Once the goal is set, you should then go to a line manager and ask them what knowledge the trainee needs to know when connecting calls via a switchboard as it applies to the organization – too many organizations skip this step and end up teaching employees a different way of doing things. This causes problems in the workplace when they make it back to it, and then they have to unlearn what they learned and start over (which creates inefficiency.) iv. The last item you should look at when deciding when you are deciding what to teach your employees in your organization is whether the training program is interactive enough. The less the employee actually makes use of the knowledge they are learning while learning it, the less of that knowledge they will actually retain when they need to be using it. Many organizations rely on “prepackaged”...

...Good afternoon Ms Chin and my friends , my name is Choong Si Kei and now it’s my turn to present the 5-minute speech. Before I start , please allow me to ask you all a question. “ How many times have you heard “I don’t have enough time to sleep” or said it to yourself especially while you are doing your assignment or prepare for your final exam .. So today , I choose this topic to inform the importance of having enough sleep in our daily life. Here is the briefly explained about what is sleep. Let us take a look at the reasons why we must get a quality sleep and I will make you realise why enough sleep is important to you with the first reason. First , having enough sleep can help you to prevent and cure of disease . The importance of sleep for health is mainly that it helps the body recover from several diseases and other health problems. When you are asleep, your body get the chance to repair its damaged cells and related functions, and strengthen the immune system, thus preventing the other health problems such as stroke and heart disease. Therefore, for a person to avoid heart disease and strokes, sleeping between 7 and 8 hours everyday is advised. Going beyond the boundaries of this range will result to unhealthy body conditions over time. Now, you start to think about the importance of better sleep to your health. I am going to focus about the next reason why we must have a good quality of sleep. So the next reason is to enhance our memory . Studies show that those who...

...assessment. Over all, I must say there were parts I struggled in and other parts I did well in. I will talk about the audience purpose and how I made everything suit my target audience. My Logo: The first activity I completed was essential, it was my Logo. The reason why I found it important is because it is mainly what attracts people to getting to know what your project/event/product is all about – without a good logo, I personally think it is very hard to attract people. I started off by sketching out the logo I wanted and what I had in mind. I then was lucky enough an image I loved on google, it is a cartoon of a group of colourful children holding hands in a circle. I thought that really fit in with the theme of my event but my main concern was asking the artist for permission if whether I can use it or not. I then sent an email to him and was lucky enough to get a reply from him saying that I did not need permission to use it since he does it for a hobby, and even if I needed permission he said he would be happy enough to let me use it since it is for a good cause. I then inserted the template/image and added a colourful title and slogan. My title is “Community Spirit” – the reason why I did not choose anything else is because I really did not want to complicate it as if it was named anything else, people would be confused and not really get the aim of the event. I would say that my logo would mainly attract young adults and children, which is what I was really aiming...

...maxims that you can will to become universal laws. I don’t think that this is a good test for determining what action is morally allowable. This test can be used for many situations, but it doesn’t always work. Each person is very individual, so we can’t say exactly what universal law said. The idea of Kantianism is all about acting on the basis of rules that everyone accepts, but not on the emotions or personal goals. Kant uses Universal law to make the test of those rules. To act only on maxims that you can will to become a universal law is the Universal Law Test. To make the test we have to know the maxim, which is always expressed as a general rule or policy. Maxim is your reason for choosing to act in a given way. Kant’s idea of that test is that if a maxim passes the Universal Law, then this action which passes the test is morally good. For example, if you will say “As a general rule, it is okay to buy sandwiches in school’s buffet because you are hungry”, ok yes, that passes the test. The Universal law said that you can buy sandwiches because everyone will accept that. But if you would say “As a general rule, it is okay to steal sandwiches in school’s buffet because you are hungry”, that would not pass the test. Not everyone will accept and find that fair, which means that the Universal Law is failing that idea. So, one of the important parts of Kantianism is to find if the maxim is good or bad. I have been thinking about the Universal Law Test and I liked it, but...

...: for many people , AMD’s CPU (Central Processing Unit) are not powerful and are used only on low cost computers (and for many years this information was true). In this case, the main challenge is to change this perception, because in fact if their products are actually quite good and are in fact almost as advanced as Intel’s ones. In order to extend their market share they have to keep focusing their products design on the final client needs. What are they ? When you are using your computer at work or for your personal use, there are 3 different parameters that you are looking at: -The first one is obviously the cost of the CPU. Because you are not baying one computer but often hundreds or thousands of them, even a tinny difference can make the firm choosing your product. -Second parameters on which they are focusing are the power of the CPU. Working applications, specific software are more and more efficient and are doing a lot of different things, but they also need more and more calculation power in order to be used. Firms are looking for CPU with enough calculation power for their current use but also because they might not be ready to change their computer every 6 months, for their future use. - Finely, the last parameter which is crucial on the...

...Psychology 100 April 11, 2013 Term Paper A problem of mine is that I never get enough sleep, usually because of the homework that I have to do. There are many things that cause this problem, as well as complications and solutions to it. One of the causes is lack of motivation to get to bed on time. I always wait until the last minute to complete my homework assignments, which causes me to stay up extremely late or wake up early in order to get everything done on time. This is because I never have the motivation to do my work unless the deadline approaches. Even when I do not have any homework to do, I can never get to bed at a reasonable time. I stay up doing unnecessary things on my phone and computer, even though I need to go to sleep. My lack of motivation is the reason that I do not get enough sleep. Motivation relates to the factors that direct and energize behavior. It explains variations in behavior as well as why people do what they do. It also explains why people behave in certain ways in order to reach a certain goal. One approach to motivation is the incentive approach. According to this theory, people are motivated due to the desire to obtain valued external goals. In my case, my incentive would be to get good grades. I realize that if I got more sleep or spent more quality time on my homework, the result would be that I would receive better grades. However, I do not possess this motivation. I continue to poorly manage my time even though I know that it will negatively...
