9. mention more than 2 references used in your answer

Select any product that you are familiar with such as computers, jeans or personal MP3 players. Once the item is selected, then you must undertake research into the specific items : target market and market segmentation. Your answer must contain information as to: How large is the target market, what is the future growth potential of this target market, how do/does the marketer reach this target market and so on? Also, mention in your answer that how will you re-position this product to another market segment.
For example, if you select MP3 players as a product of your choice, and confirm that the target market for this is Millennials, then you should be able to define how the manufacturers of MP3 players will attempt to re-position the product to attract the baby boomer generation to increase their purchases of MP3 players.

Adhere to the following structure while answering

Research on target market

- Potential market and available market

Partnership Operation

DAVID, RODRIGO and BORJA formed a commercial partnership in May 30, 2020. DAVID invested P150, 000; RODRIGO P180, 000 and BORJA P270, 000. DAVID will be the managing partner.

COMPUTE THE SHARE OF EACH PARTNER UNDER THE FOLLOWING INDEPENDENT CASES.PUT NEGATIVE SIGN (-) IF IT CONSTITUTE LOSS.

Case1: Loss is P429, 000 and the partners have no written partnership agreement.

DAVID: ________________    RODRIGO: _________________        BORJA: ______________

Case 2: Loss is P600, 000. The articles of partnership states that partners DAVID, RODRIGO and BORJA agreed that profits would be shared in the ratio of 40:25:35, respectively. The agreement did not mention the manner of sharing of losses.

DAVID: ________________    RODRIGO: _________________        BORJA: ______________

Case 3: Profit is P920, 000. The first P400, 000 is shared on the basis of salary allowances, with DAVID receiving P280, 000 and RODRIGO receiving P120, 000. The remainder is allocated on the basis of their capital contributions.

DAVID: ________________    RODRIGO: _________________        BORJA: ______________

Case 4: Profit is P1, 800, 000. RODRIGO will receive a bonus of 10% before salaries and interest; a salary of P200, 000 and P100, 000 for RODRIGO and DAVID, respectively. Interest on capital contribution will be provided at 15% for each partner. Any remainder is shared equally.

A small grassroots organization has been running a food pantry for about five years. They are located in the community center of a local church. The church is its only major partner. They typically open about two days per week and provide food for local families that stop in. The hours of operation are a bit inconsistent. Most of their donations, of late, have come from the church. Sometimes, they collect hats, scarves and gloves to distribute during winter months. It's nothing formal. They collect whatever is donated and distributed to local families who can use it. For the first time in five years, the pantry is bare, no donations or contributions are coming in, and very few families are stopping by. The church is thinking that it may be time to end the partnership. You recently joined the board of directors to gain some exposure to nonprofits; and at your first board meeting, they mention that they may be shutting down the food pantry and the church may be ending its partnership. Based on your reading to date, what actions would you recommend that the organization take before closing?

Things to consider:

-What are some of the inconsistencies presented in this case study?

-What immediate actions should the board consider before closing the organization?

-What type of evaluation should the board consider and why?

-How is the organization funded?

Suppose you have landed successfully on a good career path full time position as a "Financial Analyst" with a multinational high tech corporation in our Silicon Valley hub.

On your first day on your job, your first project given is ratio/trend analysis of your new employer. Fortunately, you still remember financial analysis techniques discussed in your accounting 1B course final chapter 17, because your instructor required a lot of homework on that chapter not to mention those irritating discussion topics you had to bear all the way to the end of the term.

1. Which ratios should be used to help answer the following questions?

2. How efficient is a company in using its assets to produce sales?

3. How near to sale is the inventory on hand?

4. How many dollars of net income were earned for each dollar invested by the owners/shareholders?

5. How able is a company to meet interest charges as they fall due?

Please list as many measures, ratios, and any other analytical procedures you can think of. You do not have limit to our chapter 17 ratios.

Professional associations often have student-organized chapters on college campuses. Let’s say you are a member of a campus business club, such as the Society for the Advancement of Management (SAM), the American Marketing Association (AMA), the American Management Association (AMA), the Accounting Society (AS), the International Association of Administrative Professionals (IAAP), or the Association of Information Technology Professionals (AITP). Your club or association has managed its finances well, and therefore, it is able to fund monthly activities. However, membership dues are insufficient to cover any extras. You see the need for a special one-time seminar with a panel of experts or a keynote speaker that would benefit many business students. For example, you see value in inviting a panel of recruiters to come and discuss current job requirements and hiring processes. You must now request funding for this event.

Your Task. Write an unsolicited letter or memo proposal to your program chair or business division dean to request one-time funding to cover the costs associated with this event. Identify your need or problem, provide the details of the event, mention the ways this event will benefit the attendees, support your claims with evidence, and provide a budget. Think ahead about costs associated with printing, appreciation gifts for the presenters, food and beverage needs, and other miscellaneous expenses.

Crimini mushrooms are more common than white mushrooms, and they contain a high amount of copper, which is an essential element according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. A study was conducted to determine whether the weight of a mushroom is linearly related to the amount of copper it contains. A random sample of crimini mushrooms was obtained, and the weight (x, in grams) and the total copper content (y, in mg) was measured for each. You may assume that all of the assumptions for regression are valid. Please include three decimal places in all answers.The work for all of the parts will be submitted at the end of the question. The summry data is given below:

n = 30 S_XX = 137.48 S_YY = 5.778 S_XY = 21.29 MSE = 0.0885 x̄ = 15.993

The line is

ŷ = -1.204 + 0.155 x

a) Find a 95% confidence interval for the true mean copper concentration when the weight of the mushroom is 18.2 g.

b)Find a 95% prediction interval for the true copper concentration when the weight of the mushroom is 18.2 g.

c) A value of 18.2 g is the size of an average Crimini mushroom. Is there any evidence to suggest that the you will get 1.9 mg of copper (the amount that is in one bar of dark chocolate) when you eat one average Crimini mushroom? Be sure to mention which interval, from above.
