...year and wants a new identity, they still have a long way to go, but this week is huge in their race for their division. Dallas Empire is a veteran team who finds ways to win. I think Doom will find away this week. Next week we have Necks vs. DPT. The Roughnecks are a team that seems to keep winning, and are a force to reckon with when healthy. DPT suffered their first loss of the season and the board has not been nearly as exciting since the lost. I think they are concentrating on beating every opponent and getting back to the Championship. I think DPT will make sure the board will not have anything to say after this week. Last but not least Franchise vs. Rollers, last year game The Rollers beat Franchise in a dominating fashion. Rollers have all the talent to win every game, but have to make better decisions. The Franchise have looked consistent all year and play smash football. I...

...Executive Summary EasyInternetcafe was launched in the late 1990’s by entrepreneur Stelios Haji-loannou as part of the Internet boom, under the umbrella of the easyGroup companies. Originally called easyEverything, Stelios in October 2001 changed the name to easyInternetcafe. The mission of easyInternetcafe is to provide customers with access to the internet at the lowest possible cost. Despite the support and recognition from the public easyInternetcafe is currently experiencing lost profits and is on the verge of having the company be terminated all together. The original concept of the cafes was to have large stand-alone cafes with 250-600 PCs per store. After the initial internet boom phased out a decrease in profits and loss business was happening. A required re-structure of the company is required in order to keep the company operating. Currently smaller franchised stores are operating with 20-30 PCs and no staff onsite except for regular maintenance. With less involvement in store operations easyInternetcafe is able to concentrate on activities of outsourcing all non-core management activities. Some of the issues easyInternetecafe is currently experiencing are having locations operate with too many PCs for the amount of business, and having no real strategic operating plan in place for new franchise’s that are opening. Four alternatives are taken into consideration to help reduce overall costs and to help the business become successful. Through research on all...

...Joan Holtz 1. Electric Utility Bills Revenue of the Electric Company can be measured given the amount of electricity generated for the year multiplied by the per-kilowatt/hour charge to customers. This is because the electric service has already been provided and distributed to customers for ready consumption 2. Retainer Fee The amount of revenue to be counted in 2010 is $5,000 from the $10,000 retainer fee good for 1 year. This is because, despite the fact that there was no way of knowing how often, or when, the client would request advice, the fee is paying for the certainty of the law firm’s availability and expertise at any point where these are needed by the client. The delivery of this “service” lapses each month in proportion to the total amount of paid fees hence $5,000 should be recognized by the end of 2010. 3. Cruise The amount of revenues that Raymond’s Travel Agency should record in 2010 is $260,000. The service that the travel agency provides is in the act of booking related travel services – accommodations, transportation, coordination in behalf of clients, etc – as opposed to delivering these same services per se. Since Raymond’s completed the above while still within 2010, revenues should already be recognized. 2011 refunds would not have an impact on revenue recognition as this should already represent a loss to Raymond’s, though certain stipulations in the company’s reservation policy should eliminate such possibilities or aid in...
