If the cash is higher than the net income, the company’s net income is of high quality. If the cash is lower than the net income, the company’s net income is not turning into cash and a red flag should go up. Having more cash than the net income can mean shareholders will receive an increase in dividends can reduce debt, buy back stocks, or purchase another company. According to, the cash flow statement Home Depot, Incorporated is similar to fiscal year 2007. In fiscal year 2008, Home Depot Incorporated generated $5.5 billion of cash flow from operations and used $2.0 billion to repay short-term debt and other obligations plus $1.8 billion for capital expenditures and $1.5 billion in dividends.

As the ratio of current assets to sales has been decreasing over the past five years, we will project the ratio to fall to 13.5% in 2008 and hold steady for the period of the projections. The company’s growth rate in PP&E has been decreasing by 4 points for each of past five years, so we will assume that that trend will continue. Current liabilities to sales will be set at 12.7%, which is the average of ratio for the past five years. We forecast the equity using the equity in the previous year plus the net income in that year. In addition, the three types of external sources of capital are each presented in three excel forms.
Financial Analysis- Task 5 A. 1. Some key points of the company’s financial picture that could impact the bank officer’s decision are as follows: while there is an increase in gross profits from year 12 to 13, there is a decrease from year 13 to 14, also while the payroll and executive compensations steadily increases from year 12 to 14, advertising basically decreases, and services and utilities continue to increase as well as expenses in general. The operating income also has a major decrease from year 12 to 14, which is not good for the company as it indicates what is available to the company before a few other items need to be paid, such as preferred stock dividends and income taxes, which needs to be increasing for the company, not
The EPA website states the following: “There have been well-documented air quality impacts in areas with active natural gas development, with increases in emissions of methane, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). EPA, the Department of the Interior, other federal agencies and states are working to better characterize and reduce these air emissions and their associated impacts. Through the Natural Gas STAR program, EPA and partner companies have identified technologies and practices that can cost-effectively reduce methane emissions from the oil and natural gas sector in the U.S. and abroad. Through the Clean Construction USA program, EPA is promoting newer, more efficient technology and cleaner fuels to innovate the ways in which hydraulic fracturing equipment and vehicles reduce emissions. EPA also administers Clean Air Act regulations for oil and natural gas production, including regulations on reporting greenhouse gas emissions.” (United States Environmental Protection Agency,
Dawes's plan in 1924 did not reduce the final total reparation but however it agreed that reparation payment would start gradually and rise to their maximum within 5 years. Dawes's plan meant Germany was able to pay off their reparation fee slowly instead of paying large amounts from the start, which was helpful for Germany, as it reduced the burden of paying a huge deficit from the beginning. Young's plan in 1928 was even more effective for Weimer Republic to overcome its problem. Young proposed a plan that reduced the total amount of reparations demanded of Germany to almost $29 billion, payable over 58 years. Reparations had been reorganised once again and the improved terms of the Young's plan meant that Weimer Republic's problem was feasible and it could overcome its pain of deficit without struggle.
Describe at least three economic factors that you would want to research as evidence of the economy's strength or weakness, and explain how each factor would affect your decision to move there.

Many believe that a government without limits will turn into a government that acts in ways that will disregard the rights of all in all circumstances (Zalman, M. (2008). Those who support the crime control model, however, indicate that these protections hinder law enforcement investigation and allow defendants more privacy than victims are allowed “Crime control emphasizes an efficient criminal process through early determination of guilt by law enforcement agents” and the Fourth Amendment prevents this (Cornell,
All of these issues tie into each other and in order to make one work, all of the others have to as well. The government has the power to create laws and regulations to push industries and individuals to make better choices that result in less pollution. There has already been massive strides in pollution prevention and environmental preservation due to government entities and organizations taking the initiative to make the planet cleaner.

Final Project Future of Policing Paper The future of policing is definitely go to be very different than what it is now especially fifteen to twenty years from now, and all of this has to do with all of the new trends that are becoming available. First of all it is very important to know about these trends and also to examine them because times are changing and sometimes the change is not the best change. There are many different trends that are truly going to affect officers and how things are ran, for example some trends may be technological, environmental and even economical. Every change that we the people go through and that our country goes through, policing and safety are always involved. Let’s start by talking by a trend that is
