...Analysis Design for a Library System Suppose you are helping to develop a library system for your community. Here is a brief description of various scenarios using this library system. • Bob wanted to become a member at his local library. He went in and filled out an application form with his name, address, phone number, and driver's license number and gave it to the librarian, Alice. Alice logged into the system with her id and created a new membership for Bob. She then provided Bob with his new library card, and a login and password to his account. • Bob wanted to borrow two novels by C.S. Lewis, but he couldn’t remember their names. He used one of the computers at the library to search for the books by using the author's name. He found the titles he wanted, which were “The Chronicles of Narnia” and "The Space Trilogy". The first book was shown as available, and the second book was shown as out on loan. • Using his new login and password, Bob logged into his account and requested the book "The Space Trilogy" in order to recall it, so that when the book was returned it would be held for him at the library. • Bob then went to the stacks and found the book "The Chronicles of Narnia" on the shelf, and waited in line at the desk to check it out. He presented his ID card, and checked out the book with the librarian. • Before leaving the library, Bob saw his friend Simon. He chatted with Simon (quietly), and asked if he was a member and came to the library often. Simon...

...Mahdi Ibrahim Case 6 brief September 28, 2014 Horniman Horticulture Horniman Horticulture has been successful while having cash flow complications between the years of 2002 and 2005. However, the company has shown improvement in 2004 and 2005 in revenue by a little over 12 percent. In 2005 it was about a 15 percent increase from 2004 and operating profits were up even higher. Bob and Maggie were even more optimistic for 2006 and had higher expectations after doing really the past two years. How much was the accounts payable policy a factor in the erosion of the cash balance? How were there a cash decline if the company was doing so well? Horniman Horitculture, a deep-rooted wholesale nursery business in Lynchburg, VA, was bought by Bob Brown for 999,000 from his father-in-law at the end of 2002. Bob and Maggie used the funds from their house they sold, loans from family members, and a grant for business development. The opportunity by acquiring the company to be closer to Maggie’s family interested both Bob and Maggie. The wholesale nursery business specializes in woody shrubs and other trees. The nursery’s operations filled 52 greenhouses and 40 acres of productive fields. Also, they employed 15 seasonal and 12 full-time employees. When it came to costs, Maggie held the turf and kept it tight. The profit margin increased from 3.1 percent in 2003 to an expected 5.8% in 2005. But are these growth rates sustainable? Bob think so and was feeling good about the future...

...GDP ratio in the EU. The paper uses insights from the literature to offer an analytical treatment of the crisis in Greece. The crisis itself is very likely to be a result of: The gradual worsening of Greek macroeconomic Fundamentals over 2000-2009 to levels discrepant with other EU members. A shift in market expectations, from a scenario of credible commitment to future EU participation to a scenario of non-credible EU commitment without fiscal guarantees, respectively occurring in November 2009 and February/March 2010. The pricing by markets of a (previously nonexistent) default risk that follows the withdrawal of an implicit guarantee on Greek debt by other EMU countries (mainly Germany). Interestingly, our account of the 3 factors sparking and escalating the crisis also helps explain why prices on Greek government bonds have not recovered but continued to plummet following the announcement of the EU/IMF rescue plan. Our analysis suggests that the involvement of an external institution like the IMF in EU affairs will in all likelihood widen the market uncertainty over possible co-ordination failures between the EU and IMF policy makers and fail to stabilize market expectations on a credible resolution of the Greek crisis. LITERATURE REVIEW Some work has been done by Vanessa Rossi and Rodrigo Delegado Aguilera in their paper, “No Painless solution to Greece’s Debt Crisis”,...

...Pacheco 945840 May 4, 2011 WORLDWIDE PAPER COMPANY Brief Description: In December 2006, Bob Prescott, controller for the Blue Ridge Mill, was considering the addition of a new on-site longwood woodyard. This will bring two benefits: Eliminate the need to purchase shortwood from an outside supplier, and the company will have the opportunity to sell shortwood to the open market. Also, this addition will reduce its operating costs and will increase it revenues. Prescott would no longer need to use the Shenandoah Mill as a short supplier and that the Blue ridge Mill would instead compete with that company by selling on the shortwood market. Case Information: The new woodyard would begin operating in 2008 and the investment would be spent over two calendar years: $16 million in 2007 and the remaining $2 million in 2008. After 2008, when the woodyard began operating it would reduce the operating costs of the mill by the difference of the cost of producing shortwood on-site versus buying it on the open market. This is traduced to $2 million for 2008 and $3.5 million for 2009. Prescott also planned to sell the excess production capacity on the open market as soon as possible. Prescott estimated to have revenues of $4million in 2008 and $10 million per year for 2009 through 2013. The cost of goods sold is 75% of revenues and SG&A would be 5% of revenues. If the revenues increase, the inventories and accounts receivables would also increase. The Net Working Capital is...

Also assess which department is most in need of a network. [5 marks] The level of automation varies significantly among the NDAS departments and offices. In addition, NDAS is in the process of downsizing to achieve a more cost-effective computer support system. For example, the Sales and Marketing Division has a desktop computer for each of the account representatives. All of these computers are connected to a small local area network (LAN) that serves only the Sales and Marketing Division. The Accounts Receivable Division recently downsized its minicomputer to a powerful desktop computer with a faster processor, motor memory and increased disk storage space. This new desktop supports databases for both customer billing and “bad dept” expenses. The Accounts Payable Division has an older minicomputer and is in the process of downsizing to a modern powerful desktop computer. It has its own vendor database that includes invoices received by NDAS from other carries stored on the older minicomputer. Fleet Maintenance prefers to process all its information manually; however, this area is being considered for automation. None of the departmental computers is integrated. The Dispatch department needs a high speed data communication network the most, because it is the very essence of Next...
