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.

With everything that has been reviewed, I would recommend that CSI lease vs buying right now. The financial returns for the lease option are that it has a higher annual payment and a lower after tax cash flow, but does free up some instant cash and relieves CSI from owner responsibilities on the building. Leasing will also let CSI build up capital to do the end of term buy option without having to have an additional 200,000 of working capital on hand for the bank and will reduce the need for a loan and credit mark. The second option is to
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. To achieve this, we must determine two cost cutting measures. A loan option must be identified as well. The cost cutting options we have at EHC are reducing benefits, reducing agency staff, downsizing staff, reducing length-of-stay, or changing the skill mix (University of Phoenix, 2015). To achieve a cost saving target of $750,000 for the first quarter the first cost cutting measure I selected is reducing a proportion of the agency contracted staff.
Head Start suffered a cut of more than $10 million for the Head Start program affected for the 2008 Fiscal Year. The 2008 funding cut to Head Start means that programs will experience a decline in federal support by 11% since 2002. Federal support for Head Start kept a pace with the rise of inflation during this period. The budget rose from $6.54 billion in the fiscal year of 2002 to $7.77 billion for the fiscal year 2008. If Head Start programs received their full allocated monies from the ACF’s proposed 2009 budget increase, then programs would still operate in a negative stage by $923 million.

The author of this article, Jeannine Aversa, is stating that key economic indicators point to the likelihood of a recession. Aversa supports her thoughts by noting the real GDP; “crawled at a 1.3 percent pace in the opening quarter of 2007…even weaker than the sluggish 2.5 percent rate in the closing quarter of last year.” The author suggests the main cause of the economic slowdown is due to “the housing slump.” Consumer expenditures are driving the economy, but Aversa worries about a “fallout from risky mortgages and rising energy prices.” Uncertainty of the Feds actions concerning the interest rates is leading to lower investment spending. The author also states that the Feds decision on raising or lowering the interest is due to the
Moreover, Mr. Pollock noted that over the last several years, borrowers with adjustable-rate loans paid less as interest rates fell, while those with fixed rates kept paying the same amount for devalued homes. ''One of the reasons that American housing finance is in such bad shape right now is the 30-year mortgage,'' he said, noting that such loans are not available in most countries. ''For many people, it's not at all clear that that's the best product.'' Fannie and Freddie also allow a wide swath of the American public to borrow money at the same interest rates and on the same terms. Borrowers who did not meet their standards were forced to pay higher interest rates to subprime lenders, but the companies essentially persuaded investors to treat a vast number American families as if they were interchangeable.
