...Micro Chip Computer Corporation Natasha Shoaf American Intercontinental University Micro Chip Computer Corporation In 2004 the sales were 11,062 the growth was 0. In 2005 the sales were 11,933 and the growth was 7.87%. In 2006 sales were 9,181 and the growth was -23.06%. In 2007 the sales were 6,141 and the growth rate for this year was -33.11%. In 2008 sales were 8,334 and the growth rate was 35.71%. The target figure is 10% more than the 2008 sales price of $8,334. I don’t think the company will likely be able to make their sales goal. There was a significant growth rate that happened in 2008. It happened again the previous 3 years in 2005. It was negative in 2006 and 2007. With this being said the trend of sales is still downward. I found that the average growth is -3.5%. After looking at the data presented Micro Chip will not be able to increase its sales by 10% in the year 2009. Since Micro Chips sales were only 8,334, next year shows sales as 20% more than that figure; which is 10,000. Sales for Micro chip were 8,334 and it was estimated at 10,000. Cost of sales was 5,458 the percent of sales was 65.5%, and the estimate was 6,550. Gross margin was 2,876, percent of sales was 34.5% and the estimate was 3,450. R&D was 525, the percent of sales was 6.3% and the estimate was 630. S,G, and A is 691, percent of sales is 8.3%, and the estimate is 830. Total Operating expense was 1,216 and estimate...

...Micro Chip - Annual Growth Shavonne Hayes American Intercontinental University 8/2/2015 Abstract This paper is an investigation into Micro Chip Computer Corporation and their historical and future sales growth. We will look at selected financial data and Consolidated Statements of Operations for the period September 26, 2007 through September 25, 2008 to extract specific data regarding their growth. Micro Chip - Annual Growth Determine the year-to-year percentage annual growth in total net sales. See table 1 below. Table 1 Using the financial data provided for Micro Chip Corporation the rate of growth from 2004 to 2005 was 7.87%, the growth rate in 2006 was -23.06%, in 2007 the growth rate was -33.12% and in 2008 the growth rate was 35.71%. There is a significant decline in 2006 and 2007 with an impressive rebound in 2008. To determine the percentage of annual growth per year the previous year’s sales amount is subtracted from the current year’s sales amount and the sum is multiplied by 100 and then divided by the previous year’s sales amount. See table 2 below. Table 2 Year | Sales | Growth rate calculation | Growth % | 2004 | $ 11,062.00 | | 2005 | $ 11,933.00 | (11933-11062)*100/11062 | 7.88% | 2006 | $ 9,181.00 | (9181-11933)*100/11933 | -23.06% | 2007 | $ 6,141.00 | (6141-9181)*100/9181 | -33.12% | 2008 | $ 8,334.00 | (8334-6141)*100/6141 | 35.71% | Based only on your answers to question #1, do you think the...

...Future Statement For this report I am to write of a technology that I could see evolving in the near future and so the technology I could possibly see becoming widespread is micro chip implantation , able to store, transmit, and capture data in real time with other chips or servers like using your identification or even a debit card to even a hand held gps unit and compacting it all into a chip the size of a eraser and implanting it into a humans limb now this by its self is amazing but then the limitations grow exponentially. The first impact this could have would be with Society. Now Society as a whole might clash with this concept at first due to some fundamental human traits such as invasion of privacy, This chip if left unchecked could function the same as a gps unit and give someone the ability to track individuals making such things as missing person’s would be much easier to find. The second impact would be Economy. This could change everything we know about current banking practices by allowing your banking information to implanted on this micro chip and injected in to yourself so that instead of swiping a card your data is automatically registered and updated with your actual bank to route funds and make payments and deposits. The third and final impact I could foresee is Politics. Now imagine a world where your personal and life data is stored on your body and can be accessed there would surely be very little information that could not be accessed either by...

...inconsistencies in his mathematics calculations. Found after he added a Pentium System to his computer group. Upon Further inspections and calculations, he contacted Intel with his results. Intel denied that there was a problem with their chips. When it became clear that their chips were flawed, and the accusations were true. Intel changed its policy, admitting that their chips were indeed defective. Intel agreed to replace the defective chips for free, but only if the uses could demonstrate that they needed and unflawed chip. In the fall of 1994, IBM decided to halt all shipments on their Pentium based computers. After they discovered the Flaw during their testing. Intel finally agreed to replace the flawed microprocessors for anyone who asked for a replacement. Because Intel new about the Flawed chips before it surface in the press. They had already corrected the problem on another version. Intel continued to sell the Flawed chips, and had planned to continue its bad practices until the bad chips were exhausted. In doing this Intel had to write off 475 million dollars to solve the problem, when they could have corrected it from the beginning. Intel has learned from their mistake and now feel that flawed chips should be replaced before and upon request, no matter how insignificant the problem seems to be. If the same flaw was to happen in a new CPU today, I think especially if the company decided to cover it up like Intel did. It would cost the...

...CASE STUDY: Chipping Away at Intel General Environment 1. Social Important as a semiconductor business, provided as the biggest chip maker in the industry. Intel’s mindset is toward better customer relations and away from perspective of being the only real competition in the marketplace. 2. Technological Concerned with chip making for PCs but then went beyond it into the production of information and communication appliances as well as providing services related to the Internet. Barrett created a new wireless unit that combined new acquisitions such as DSP Communications Inc. ( a chipset supplier for digital communications) with Intel’s memory operations. 3. Economic Affected by Septemeber 11, 2001 and needed to withdraw investments in new markets (production of network servers and routers and e-commerce service for small businesses) due to direct result of the downturn in economic condition. Intel’s shares also suffered. At $26, were down to 60 pecent compared to their highest over the previous years and get worse after the downturn and fell further to $20 by October. 4.

They can also use unconventional methods to obtain results. * Enthusiasm to work: All said and done, in the end for any rural venture to be successful, what is required is a very high degree of enthusiasm, and an urge to excel. Social work is usually characterized by long working hours, unclear goals, sensitivity towards culture, commitment to the goals. Most private ventures enter this field out of passion and hence have this in plenty. Government officials may or may not be passionate about this project, but have to work on it. This clearly translates into the results. * Need for micro-level approach: Most rural ventures are extremely people oriented and need a lot of work to be done on a micro level and at a small scale. To be able to reach such a small demographic is usually...

...after the fact was a huge let down for customers. Customers expect that if a company finds a problem with their products that they inform them about it and provide a fix to the problem. Intel finally announces in December of 1994, that there would be a total recall, replacement, and destruction of all of the flawed processors. Something that should have happened months before. Finally, they have done right. Intel commits to purchase of all chips produced through the end of the year in January 1995. Intel sets aside 420 million dollars to cover costs of replacing all flawed processors upon request in mid-December 1994. If a flaw of this nature happened again today, with the economy as it is and they acted as they did back in 1994. Intel would more than likely be looking for a way to run. Today, Intel has competition that could very well take Intel customers. The only thing Intel may have to hold them up is a government bail. The only reason that would happen is because Intel produces a major amount of government computers have a chip made by...

...Unit 5 Analysis 1: Pentium Flaw In the summer of 1994, Intel discovered the Pentium Flaw. Once discovered they decided that their chips did not need to be recalled because the chance of the average user finding out about the error was 1 in 9 billion. Thomas Nicely, a professor at Lynchburg College in Virginia, made the error public. He had sent an e-mail to several colleagues. Nicely was using a few computers to compute mathematical problems. He wanted to prove they had enough power to do so. I feel Intel did not handle the problem professionally at all. While Intel knew that there was a flaw in the chip, they continued to send out a defective product. Regardless of who might discover the error, they should have recalled the chip to have them replaced. By deciding to send out the flawed processor, this probably helped the company as well. Before this mistake, not many people were aware of Intel. After months of research, Intel finally decided to recall the chip. Thomas Nicely had then run over a quadrillion calculations on a revised chip and was unsuccessful of reproducing the error. I am unsure of the outcome if a similar flaw like this were to happen today. With the help of social media and the internet, word of any flaw or error today would spread like wildfire. The old rule of thumb is 1 tells 10, well now it's more akin to 1 tells 10,000. I believe that if a homogeneous situation were to occur it would be handled expeditiously and promptly. I’m sure Intel has new policies...

...people to see if they were also having the same problem. After a couple days Thomas wasn’t the only person who realized there was a problem. People around the world who had access to the Internet found this out. The diversion result from Pentium was off by sixty-one parts per million. Intel then was forced to tell people about this hiccup but said that it was of little importance and that it wouldn’t affect most people in a big way. Even though this was most likely true it made everyone feel like they messed up and nobody wants something that doesn’t work how it’s supposed to even if it’s off a little. Intel then felt the need to tell customers that if their Pentium chip was flawed in any way they would replace it with Pentium chips that were flawless. Not a lot of people even bothered to replace their chips at all. In, 1995 Intel had to pay $475 million because of the flawed processors. My opinion on the “Pentium Flaw” is that it is a complete outrage. Everyone always wants the best of the best and if it has a flaw people tend to keep away from it. If the new IPhone came out the same day as the new Galaxy S3 and there were rumors of the IPhone having some type of bug in it, people might lean more towards the Galaxy S3. The problem is they had somebody who knew about the problem and then proceeded to still sell the product. That is simply unfair and completely unprofessional for a huge company like Intel. If there was another incident like the Pentium flaw that happened...

...segment. Snack is describes as a small quantity of food eaten between meals or in place of a meal. Snack food generally comprises bakery products, namkeen, ready-to-eat mixes, chips and other light processed foods. According to Ministry of food processing, the snack food industry is worth Rs 100 billion in value and over 4,00,000 tonnes in terms of volume. Though very large and diverse, the snacks industry is dominated by the unorganized sector. According to a survey almost 1,000 snacks items and 300 types of savouries are sold across India. The branded snacks are sold at least 25% higher than the unbranded products. Though there is no particular time for snacks, normally they are consumed at teatime. There is large no. of varieties with specialities from all regions, which have gained national acceptance. The industry has been growing around 10% for the last three years, while the branded segment is growing around 25% per annum to stand at Rs.6000-Rs.6,500 crore, due to various reasons like Multiplex culture, snacking at home while watching T.V, pubs and bars. In the branded snacks market, Frito Lay commands a share of 45%, followed by Haldiram’s at 27% and ITC at 16%. The rest is divided between a handful of new entrants, wannabes and many regional players. Of the wide range of snacks available, potato chips constitute a sizeable...

...Power Characteristics of Networks on Chip Mohamed A. Abd El ghany*, Darek Korzec* and Mohammed Ismail** Electronics Engineering Dept., German University in Cairo, Cairo, Egypt* Electrical Engineering Dept., The Ohio State University, Columbus, USA. The RaMSiS Group, KTH, Sweden** E-mails: mohamed.abdel-ghany@guc.edu.eg, darek.korzec@guc.edu.eg, ismail@ece.osu.edu Abstract— Power characteristics of different Network on Chip (NoC) topologies are developed. Among different NoC topologies, the Butterfly Fat Tree (BFT) dissipates the minimum power. With the advance in technology, the relative power consumption of the interconnects and the associate repeaters of the BFT decreases as compared to the power consumption of the network switches. The power dissipation of interswitch links and repeaters for BFT represents only 1% of the total power dissipation of the network. In addition of providing high throughput, the BFT is a power efficient topology for NoCs. Index Terms – NoC, Power Dissipation, BFT. CLICHÉ, Octagon, SPIN, Interswitch Links I. INTRODUCTION With the increasing number of intellectual property blocks (IPs) in System on Chips (SoCs), billions of transistors integrated on a single chip will soon become a reality. The limitations of system scalability, bandwidth and power dissipation are becoming the major drawbacks for high performance SoCs. Recently, Network-on-Chip (NoC) architectures are emerging as the best replacement for the existing...

...I was sitting in a Portland Oregon hotel when four words forever changed my business. The keynote speaker at the meeting, a vice president of channel had just finished a surprisingly lack-luster presentation and opened up for questions. An associate from New York City immediately stood and asked, “Do you consider us competition or partners?” The VP answered without skipping a beat, “You are Apple’s competition.” I guess there shouldn’t have been a gasp and rumble throughout the room, but 100+ Authorized Resellers and VARs suddenly realized that they faced an uphill battle. Many would close their doors in the months to come. As an Authorized reseller I bought our Apple branded products from first tier distributors such as Ingram Micro and Tech Data with only small price variances based on the size of the Purchase Order. Smaller PO’s were often ignored or faced delays in shipping. A big reason for the gasp in the room was the increasing trend of Apple product scarcity for resellers. While Apple’s new retail stores had full shelves we had to fight over the leftovers. Often this meant we missed out on the initial surge of purchases made by early adopters. (Eventually Apple would release game-changing products like the iPhone and not allow Apple resellers to sell them.) When Apple opened their new store 5 minutes from one of mine I was forced to pivot or close my doors. We changed from being an Apple Reseller who sold some accessories to more of a system integrator and service...
