Answer: Type your response here… I am choosing to lower the reserve and increase the economic growth rate using reserve requirements.

In-depth research and analysis needs to be conducted on other companies that have created similar successful programs.

Shepard Poles has about three different product lines: hiking poles, downhill ski poles, and cross-country ski poles. According to the calculation on current operating data, the company has incurred a operating loss of $ 165,000 this year. If any new strategic initiatives are not implemented next year, the unit sales and all costs are expected to rise about 7 percent and 2 percent respectively. However, this situation would make the company incur more loss next year, which is about negative $ 293,586.
If the sales outlook for the coming three years was only 20,000,000 and B.E. continued producing at the rate of 30,000,000 units, a total of 10,000,000 units would be dumped into ending inventory at the end of each year once again reducing costs of goods sold and falsely increasing income. By the end of year 2013, B.E. Company would have 35,000,000 units sitting in ending inventory taking up space and costing money to store. Once again if the president’s bonus is based off of net income, this situation is the most favorable for a high paying bonus and encourages stockpiling inventory to inflate net income.
Stimulation Review Cost cutting measures are the first portion of the simulation. These measures are implemented by a company to improve profitability and reduce expenses. Cost cutting measures may include reducing employee pay, lay off of employees, downsizing to a smaller building, changing hours of service, or changing to a less expensive health insurance employee plan ("Investopedia", 2015). Gilbert Sanchez set a target for cost saving in the amount of 900,000 in the first year. The EHC will receive $2,300,000 from managed care companies and Medicare in three months, but the shortfall at the business must be resolved first.
There are many ways to do so. Susan Schreter (2008) recommends three simple steps to improve profitability. The first one is to cut out unprofitable products and services. Company A’s current product is generating $2 per piece, which is not enough to cover the variable cost, so the firm is losing money making this current product. Therefore, company A needs to stop making this product.
Several areas will be evaluated, but profit growth over last year will be the determining measure. The company has established a compensation system based on job performance with pay grades related to the requirements and responsibilities for each position. The key positions and also the hard to recruit positions may receive a market premium. The company also will supplement this pay system
How will the state deal with future budget cuts to high education in California? Sure this will solve the budget cuts in 7 years, what about after? How will the university system cope with handling more students entering each and every year? The tax increase targets the a group of people who makes over $250,000 a year in California. With the way the College and University system is suffering there won’t be any one making over $250,000 in the future if the proposition didn’t pass.
