...Herbal Supplements The FDA should regulate herbal supplements as it ensures safety for the consumer. If taken properly, herbal supplements have great benefits. The problem is that there simply is not enough regulation of the herbal supplements. Many herbal supplements can be dangerous if taken incorrectly. What’s worse, people simply do not have enough information about the benefits and risks of herbal supplements. A great example of the lack of regulation is overuse of Ephedra. A while back, people started taking mass amounts of Ephedra in order to lose weight. It ended in a great amount of deaths, causing the FDA to take measures against makers of medicines containing Ephedra. Because it was considered an herbal supplement, it did not have the same scrutiny as synthetic drugs. Herbal supplements can be just as powerful as synthetic drugs, so the same vigilance in regulation should apply. Also, harmful ingredients sometimes end up in herbal supplements, which present an entirely new risk. If herbal supplements were more closely monitored, there would be a better chance of preventing this from happening. Because of the lack of regulation, consumers do not have any assurance that what they are buying is safe. Consumers need that assurance, especially when it comes to health products. There also is not very much awareness about herbal supplements. People do not realize how powerful some herbal supplements are. Many people hold the mistaken belief that herbal supplements...

...Business Models and Systems Terilyn L. Blue BUS 210 June 8, 2012 Tony Sines, MBA/TM Business Models and Systems The three components of business are: Business Commerce, Business Occupation, and Business Organization. Business Commerce is the process through which people produce exchange and trade goods and services. Business Occupation is the acquired set of specialized skills and the abilities that allows people to create valuable goods and service. Business Organization is the system of task and authority relationship which coordinates and controls the interactions between people so that they work towards a common goal. When you put all these factors together you get a business system, which is the combination of business, commerce, occupations, and organizations that produces and distributes the goods and services that create value for people in society. In my area there is a business that operates as a pharmacy. It is owned and operated under a franchise name. The owners are in a partnership with various members of the family, making it a family owned business.

...1.1 create a plan for the collection of primary and secondary data for a given business problem. Primary Data Primary data can collect by using experiments, surveys, questionnaires, interviews, and observations. If you’ve already gathered this information, we can then analyze it and then come up with accurate results based on your needs. But if you haven’t already gotten this information together, no problem! We can also help with that step of data collection as well. (datacollectionservice.net, 2015) We make primary data collection easy * We create a questionnaire and interview * We design a survey * We choose the sample * We analyze the data Secondary Data Secondary data comes from resources that have already been published. You may have a running list of certain sources but there are so many published items in the world, it can be hard to find the one thing that will make a difference to your project. Collection of data from secondary sources is a treasure hunt and we are skilled researchers with an eye for diamonds. We have developed extensive lists of secondary sources of data collection and will utilize them for your project.

Rainbow should not purchase this equipment by looking at NPV as the purchase criteria because it seems that although IRR may give the false impression of 14.15% return on investment, when those cash flows get discounted at the rate of cost of capital, the total payback comes to $34,054 which means we are actually paying $946 more today compared to sum of the benefits we will get through labor costs reduction for 15 years.

...Week 7 Day 5 CheckPoint Impact of HRM on Business BUS/210 April 20, 2012 Rob Garcia, MBA Impact of HRM on Business Introduction I have been asked to review some recent suggestions on improving our HR department here at The Office Store. Having to review and suggest new ideas in such a large company is not an easy process to take. While I am the newest assistant manager here, I do bring some experience from my previous job with a competitor. There were many great suggestions submitted, I have selected two of the suggestions I think would have the most impact on our business and help improve and possibly streamline some of the work the HR department has to deal with on a daily basis. HR Suggestion #1: Technology and Payroll The first suggestion I would like to submit would be “Employees having access to paycheck related information.” The basic idea is currently all employees that have direct deposit have also agreed to go paperless giving the company the added savings of printing and mailing paychecks. Many times an employee may need access to previous paycheck stub information for tax purposes or even wage and employment verification. I agree it would be a benefit to the company to enable employee’s access to their own information for payroll as well as basic employment information. “This assists the employee greatly when he or she they can check to see what he or she are claiming on the latest Form W-4 or what...

...$1 billion in sunk costs, Lockheed was in need of $250 million more to bring the plane to market, but its bankers would not commit without federal loan guarantees. Spokespersons for Lockheed claimed before Congress that the Tri-Star program was economically sound and that their problem was mere liquidity crisis. However, opposition to the guarantee focused on estimated break-even sales – the number of jets that would need to be sold for total revenue to cover all accumulated costs. This case illustrates the importance of NPV analysis in capital budgeting. We examined the decision to invest in the Tri-Star project by forecasting the cash flow associated with the project for a volume of 210 planes. We also asked what a valid estimate of the NPV of the Tri-Star project at a volume of 210 planes as of 1967 would be. We found this to be -$584 M. This was clearly an unacceptable NPV for capital budgeting on the project. A break-even analysis revealed that the project reached economic break-even with the production of 275 planes at $12.5 M per unit but did not...

...Rachna Foundation [RACHNA ON THE CROSSROADS] Rachna Foundation is in a turbulent phase with greater than expected influx of mentally disabled children and government’s strict new regulations. Amidst the usual battle for arranging finances it is finding it hard to keep its mast upright. Rachna on the crossroads On a busy Friday morning, while Dr. Lalitha was busy attending to her patients at her home based clinic, she got a call from the office of Rachna Foundation. The office staff had received a call from the Paper cup machine supplier in Sivakasi, Tamilnadu requesting them to send a scanned copy of the draft at the earliest. The task was simple but a copy of requisition letter signed by her was also required along with the copy of the draft. She hurled into the office at 11 am, completed the formalities and ordered the office staff to complete the rest of the task. In her 2 hours stay at the office, she attended to the teaching staff’s issues and concerns, talked to the parents, called up the corporation office to fix an appointment with the counsellor and called up an NGO which was willing to collaborate with Rachna Foundation. One her way back to the clinic (also her home), she thought of paying a visit to Rachna Foundation’s new building at Palluruthy, Cochin. Even under the 40 degrees hot sun, the construction work was in progress and she was happy with the progress made so far. She slid into her car and was dreaming of the new building which was planned to become...
