Although from 2003 to 2004 was a positive year, before that there could have been negative trends. If this is the case, it does show in favor that during the positive trend that Lucent Technologies paid down debt and gained more assets in good time instead of just developing more debt because they were doing well. This would show positive for both investors and creditors because it shows that the company takes care of its financial responsibilities first. This statement, although shows assets and liabilities, does not show the income or cash flow for the company, overall it appears that the company is on a positive trend,
MK 612 Calyx & Corolla Case 1. Would you invest in C&C? I would not, at the time of the case, invest in C&C. It seems too risky for a number of reasons. First, though there revenue is strong they aren’t yet making a profit, which is understanding for a new business, yet still signals high risk. Also, they are investing so much money and time into helping and training their growers on how to sell directly to consumers with no assurance that these growers won’t turn around and cut C&C out and simply take over the directly selling themselves, which would significantly increase the growers return on these types of individual, direct to consumer sales.

From reading the case study, it seemed as if he fails to offer the capacity to back up his thoughts and hypotheses with true market information. Green concentrated all the more on setting up a solid case that would suit his clients need (Mollica, et.al, 2013). He created great compatibility with his clients and because of his persuading identity he found himself able to conclude some great arrangements for the organization in the first year (Green, et.al, 2011). From reading the case it can be concluded that he didn't have faith in documentation. For example, all of his information and methods were used to be verbal as opposed to on paper.
The advantages of this are that the cost is spread over the life time of the asset, and you don’t have to find the money for the asset in one lump sum. The disadvantages are that it may eventually cost you more than if you were just to buy it, and you would never actually own the asset and will not appear on your balance sheet. You could get a government backed start up business loan. There are many out there so take a look at the interest rates and repayment plans. These types of loans are not just backed and
Even though Tom had experience as a salesperson for over 17 years, he didn’t have any management experience. Therefore CSD should have done an assessment on Tom before decided to promote him for that position. Also another problem I felt that CSD had was no training was provided for Tom before placing him in such a big position. When they decided to pick Tom because of his seniority with the company, they should have realized that when evaluating seniority and experience as methods of internal selection companies should realize that experience is more likely to be related to job performance than seniority. 2) How might CSD and Bioglass more generally, make better promotion decisions in the future?

Despite the benefits of a college education, such as a better starting pay in entry level jobs and some better opportunities to find world, these benefits are only individual and do not outweigh the price it takes to achieve them. College is too expensive to be paid for by every high school graduate because it throws students and their families into pools of debt and is not worth the money for those that do not even graduate. Attending college presents numerous risks and gambles, yet college is ultimately an ‘investment.’ Although it may not pay off right away, it will reward those with a degree financially in the future. Obama continued on to say that “higher education should not be a luxury,” but a crucial part to building a career and a future. (Obama).
The idea that money brings happiness is nothing more than a myth; money only helps an individual become more of what they already are. This statement, that money can not bring happiness, may seem unrealistic, but in fact it is not. Studies such as the one done by Daniel Kahneman, PhD, and colleagues prove that “it’s just an illusion that wealth brings happiness”(webmd.com). In this study, Kahneman states that “people are likely to overrate the joy-bringing effect of whatever they’re thinking about at the time, whether it’s money or the number of dates they had last week”(webmd.com). By this, Kahneman is saying that money does not bring happiness, but the thought of wealth brings temporary pleasure.
A confused jury is not a jury one would ideally wont. Discussions done before deliberation amongst jurors did not have an effect on the jury verdict outcome, it simply sped the process up my a few minutes. With regards to the verdict outcome, social status was not a factor. Mocks jurors proved to be valuable but unpredictable. Demographics do play a significant role when it comes to the juror being in favor of the plaintiff or defense, but it doesn’t mean the case is won or lost based on that.
