...The Market Company’s Market Angie’s List is located in all 50 states in the United States and several markets in Canada. Though they are located in every state but they are not in every market within those states. Many states are missing some key markets but that would be a potential growth opportunity for them in the near future.

...consultant is in a way right in his advice because the average cost to produce is higher than the selling price .Hence factually he is right to say to cut back production. Since the price is greater than the marginal cost at Q1 the second consultant is also correct in saying that the increase in production will more than cover the costs incurred. Hence taking the advice of second consultant seems more practical as it will lead to profits once if the production is increased up to a point (Q3) where the price equals marginal cost. Question Number 2: Competitive forces in the market ensure that today’s big firms will not remain market leaders always. 1.

...Unix File Access The Outlandish Shirt Printers is a solid company that has an organizational system that supports 5000 users. The company has a file that 10 of the users do not need to have access to. There are two ways to specify the protections scheme in Unix to ensure that 4,990 users have access to this file. This goal can be achieved by setting up access control list and groups. Outlandish Shirt Printers is also looking for a suggestion for another more effective protective scheme than the one provided by Unix. Access Control Lists and Groups The first protection scheme in Unix to allow 4,990 of the companies users access to this file is to set up an access control list. Access Control Lists allow more control over file permissions than the general Unix file permissions. Access Control Lists enable higher file security by defining file permissions for specific users, groups, owner, and owner’s group. ACL’s also give the ability to set default permissions for all of the categories. The protection provided by Unix only allows read, write, and execute permission for ower, group, or other system users (Softpanorama, 2013). To ensure that the 10 not given permissions to access file the company will create an access control list with the names of the 4,990 users that do have access to the file. Another way to establish that 4,990 users have access to the file is to set up a group. Gilman (2013) “The concept of groups in Unix is related to the permissions placed upon...

...is the sum for both companies. Calculate consolidated revenues: The consolidated amount for costs of goods sold is the sum for both companies. $280,000 +$100,000 = $380,000 The consolidated depreciation expense amount will be the sum for both companies plus the additional annual amortization from the acquisition. The consolidated depreciation expense amount will be the sum for both companies plus the additional depreciation from equipment and buildings. Calculate the expense to equipment as the undervalue amount divided by years left: $60,000/5 = $12,000 Buildings were actually overvalued and will decrease the amount of amortization. Calculate the decrease to amortization each year as the overvalue amount divided by years left: ($30,000)/10 = ($3,000) Calculate the consolidated depreciation expense: $120,000 + $50,000 + $12,000 + ($3,000) = $179,000 The amortization expense will only be for the customer list. The other amortizations are included with the depreciation expenses. Calculate the amortization as the value of the customer list is divided by years left. $100,000/20 = $5,000 The consolidated amount for buildings is the sum for both companies minus the overvalue and the amount already paid to amortization. It has been five years from the acquisition date to the end of 2013. Calculate consolidated buildings: $500,000 + $140,000 - $30,000+ ($3,000 X 5) = $625,000 The consolidated amount for equipment is the sum for both companies. The book value for...

...To: Dr. Andrew Hardy, CEO From: ky Date: February 22, 2011 Re: New List Source for the Summer Catalog Mailing Memo It has been brought to my attention in our weekly meeting that the children’s clothing (infant to age 13) catalog division has saturated the current mailing list. As of today, the catalog has been mailed to customers who were listed on the response list which is the direct mail buyers of similar products. So, I am embarrassed to say this but our department has exhausted the list choices, and now we are faced with the decision to go beyond the response lists and we must develop a new compiled list to test in the summer mailings. This list must be complete and ready to launch by May 31, 2011. In our meeting, we decided to focus on the following areas to help develop and launch the new list for the summer mailings. The four areas are…learning about the demographics of our customers, the kinds of list that would be tested, how many list segments would be tested for the summer mailings, and can there be a list developed to include postal address as well as email address to execute a multichannel marketing campaign. The person to head this project is Fred Miller and his contact information is listed in the directory for all questions on this project. CUSTOMER DEMOGRAPHICS In developing a demographic profile, we will determine when and where advertising should be placed to achieve maximum results. In such cases, it is important that the advertising...

...with her colleagues. One day when her colleagues were discussing about corruption and politics, something occurred to her. As a result she prepared a list called “Ethically Dubious Conduct” and pasted it on the common notice board. Her colleagues were taken by surprise. Brenda was now anticipating the next lunch where she was expecting her list to be analysed among her colleagues. 2.0 Review each item on Brenda’s list and assess the conduct in question. Do you find it morally acceptable, morally unacceptable or somewhere in between? Explain. The following items on Brenda’s list may be grouped as those that are morally unacceptable: using office supplies for personal use, making personal copies on the office machine, directing company business to vendors who are friends and relatives. Using the property of the office for unofficial purposes without the consent of the authority is termed can be stealing. According to rule-based theory (Sama & Shoaf, 2005), stealing is a morally wrong act. Also the employee can be accused of being disloyal towards the organisation. The following activities can be termed as acts which are in mid way between moral acceptability and unacceptability: using the telephone calls for personal long-distance calls, changing postage on your personal mail to the company, making non-business trips in company car, making unnecessary expenses on business trips, taking half the afternoon off in office when you are out for business trips. It may be argued that...
