We’ve seen tremendous growth this year, going from taking a $4000 loss in the first year, to a $30,000 profit this year. These risks are most likely not detrimental to our business, but could prevent a profit decrease due to

A number of areas could be the reason for the decrease in sales in year 8 including the economy which could have led to outside sponsorships being decreased. However CBI is continuing to plan for growth in a 3.2 % increase that is greater than could be a reality and a concern for such percentage. There is no historical data to show that a plan is in place to achieve this additional sales increase and coming off a hard economic year, it is concerning that this achievable.

Willow Company is must reduce its inventory levels and sell inventory at a faster rate to improve the inventory turnover closer to 30 days.

The greater the inventory levels, the higher sales must be, otherwise additional storage and other holding costs will be incurred to cause further deterioration in its cash position.

Further research should be done to the members to see if this change would allow them to purchase more.
