Case study – Financial Management and Analysis

GsBrow is a publishing company. By the nature of the textbook market, heavy sales are

made in the fourth quarter of each year for full semester sales. Most sales occur in

September, and again in February for the second semester. In this industry, the actual

printing and binding of a book have fixed cost that make printing many copies more

efficient.

Since publishing companies cannot reproduce books on demand, GsBrow’s policy is to

contract with the printing company to print a fixed number of copies, depending on

expected sales over at least one year and sometimes based on sales over several years.

If the books sell better than expected, the publisher company will order a second or

third printing. The printing company requires to place the publisher order as much as

four months before the books will actually be needed, and reorders will be placed as

much as two months ahead of actual sales. In 2015, the many books were decline in

popularity, and GsBrow got stuck with a large inventory of obsolete books.

GsBrow balance sheet shows the following balances in 2015:

Cash $342,500

Marketable securities 78,000

Receivables 210,000

Inventory 375,000

Lon-term investments 162,000

The company maintained almost the same amounts of sales for the last three years

which about $3,718,500, where the total current assets were less 25% in 2014 and 54%

in 2013 respectively.

A part of liability side on January 1, 2015 balance sheet of GsBrow is as follows:

Accounts Payable 262,000

Loan (10 years – 4.4%) 1,650,000

The inventory activities for the first quarter of 2015 were as follows:

Purchases Sales Balance

Beginning inventory $112,000

January 22 – cash $401,000 513,000

February 5 – on account $ 63,000

February 25 – cash 183,000

March 30 – cash 19,000

on account 21,000

As you are a financial analyst-consultant:

1. Study the financial policies of GsBrow and demonstrate to which alternative

policies regarding the size of current asset holdings they are implementing.

2. Explain for the Board of Directors how the curves of current assets and

investment holdings have worked during the last three years and why.

3. How you describe the current assets financing policy of GsBrow and if you want

to change this policy, to which extend you can go?

4. Again, explain for the directors using an illustration the company’s financing

policy.

Keep in mind that the long-term loan is subject to evaluation by the bank each two

years.

Create a 4 page essay paper that discusses Today hero.

Ideally, a hero is someone who rises above adversity or faces dangerous situations with valor and courage. In the face of danger and adversity, the courageous actor is willing to be self-sacrificing for the greater good. In this regard, the true meaning of the term hero is one who is distinguished by bravado and near superhuman will to help others in distress at his or her own expense. In the late 19th century Carlyle provides a common understanding of what makes a hero. He writes:

Contemporary heroes however, challenge the true meaning of the term hero. Quite often we canonize people for athleticism, beauty, celebrity status, wealth and a number of other qualities that have little or nothing to do with valor, courage, strength or sacrifice. In this regard, today’s hero rarely possesses any of the qualities and strengths associated with heroism in its true form. One of the most endearing attractions to heroes is the thought that the individual can believe that heroism resides in each of us and we might, if we try, successfully emulate our heroes. However, with today’s assignations of heroism it is entirely impossible to be inspired.

It is impossible to emulate wealth, beauty, athleticism or celebrity. On the other hand it is possible to emulate bravado, valor, courage and strength. So to this end, today’s heroes, rather than inspire positive feelings, discourage individuals and leave them feeling inadequate and entirely unsuccessful. The truth of the matter is that today, it simply enough to be famous or popular to attain the status of heroism. It has been argued by media observers that today’s youth culture is greatly influenced by media images and representations of heroes. For the most part many of these token heroes are not worthy role models. Essentially, that the media’s representation of heroism leaves an impression on young people. It is hardly surprising that in light of the

I will pay for the following article Mitigation phase. The work is to be 3 pages with three to five sources, with in-text citations and a reference page. The common contribution from these agents is giving precautionary measures to the public in case of earthquake and educating people about this natural disaster. 2. Define these occupations and discuss the different roles of each in mitigation. What kind of information would help people in each occupation work together to help mitigate the impacts of future earthquakes? School board is an organization appointed by the government in order to govern the overall activities of schools in a particular state. According to (Usavage,2011)“A school board is a legislative body of citizens called school directors who are elected locally by their fellow citizens and who serve as agents of the state legislature”. A psychologist is a doctor who specializes in treating mental illness and disorders. Geologists is a scientist who studies about the constitution of earth .Construction engineer is the one who plans , designs and construct buildings. An architect mainly is a creative person who designs a building layout and a politician is an individual who make public policy and administers national affairs. These people also have different roles to play in mitigation of earthquake. School board can alert students regarding earthquake occurrence and preventive measures. The psychologists can pacify and treat the people traumatized by earthquake. Geologists can make public awareness about the aftermath of an earthquake. Construction engineers can help the public to built earthquake proof building for safe future. Architect can analyze and plan building structure which can survive earthquake to an extent. Politicians can implement strategies and earthquake funds to aid the victims of earthquake hazard. The kind of information that would help these parties to mitigate the impacts of earthquake is as follows: a) Understanding the nature of earthquake activity b) What action needs to be taken by common men in order to not get victimized by earthquake? c) Which regions in a country are most prone to earthquake? 3. Outline the tasks you need to do. These tasks include making internal assessments and working together toward long-term solutions in a collaborative manner with multiple agencies. Some internal assessments include determining potential risks, prioritizing activities according to life safety, number of people exposed, cost, and probability the hazard will occur again. On the occurrence of earthquake there is a high chance of development of tsunami or landslides. The rescue plan for saving the people living in coastal areas should be structured efficiently. Moreover there should be warning and alert to people living in suburbs regarding the arrival of landslides. Due to the ground shaking there can be considerable loss to buildings which are vulnerable and equipments which are lose fitted. Damage to this equipments and building can lead to exposure of toxins and chemicals into the environment. This can cause serious damage to the people in the area affected by earthquake. It is also highly essential to keep a record of people living in specific area in order to estimate the loss of life which can happen during the occurrence of earthquake, tsunami and landslides. The earthquake risk assessment must be carried out by different agencies of government and action must be taken according to the arrived outcome.
