Olympia Machine Company Inc

Olympia Machine Company Inc Case Study

Order Instructions:
I identified that the main issue that Olympia Machine Company, Inc. faces is that, since they are in a mature and slow growing market, they have to figure out the best method to encourage more sales effort from their salespeople, reduce expenses and avoid their turnover, specially to their competitors. Leaders at Olympia believe that they are able to boost sales and retain their salesforce by modifying the method that their salespeople get compensated, which is currently of straight salary plus expenses. It is not an easy task since there are different alternatives to be considered and all of them has various implications for the business operations. The company would have to align the right strategy with its implementation, cross-functional incentive systems along with managing sales.

Choose 2 – 3 alternative solutions that you feel will solve the problem and evaluate their ability to solve the problem/issue:
Select the alternative you feel will best solve the problem/issue and include implementation activities you feel are critical for that alternative to be successful.

Detail how the “Best Alternative” will be implemented.
Select one or more metrics that you can use to evaluate whether or not your alternative solved the problem/issue.

Vegetarian diets vs Statins

Critical Review 1 Vegetarian diets vs Statins

Order Instructions:
Each student will be required to produce a one-page summary (critical review) of research papers on nutrition.

The paper considers the health benefits of vegetarian diets relative to drugs for lowering CVD risk factors.

You will be required to produce a one-page summary (a 1-A4 page; font 12 critical review) of research paper on nutrition topics.
The aim of Assignment 1 is to critically review a research paper.

The critical review requires students to read and understand a research paper. This may take several readings to get a good understanding of the contents. Students should read Abstract, Introduction and Tables first then the Methods and Results and finally the Discussion. In writing a one A4 page review (font 12), students need to present the information in lay terms, as though the reader of the review (the boss of a food company for example) had not read the articleand could not understand scientific terms – thus a summary of the key features of the study with sufficient introduction to explain why it was undertaken, along with the important results and a brief discussion of these under suitable headings (as many as you think are required).

To do this, imagine you are working for a company (consider what sort of company this information would be valuable to) and you are employed to critically review this information for them and finish by saying what is relevant to them.

Note: Do not assume a paper is always representative of high quality research, some studies can be quite poor and you should learn to detect this and indicate this in your critical review.

budgeting

budgeting 5(S)
Order Instructions:

Differential analysis involves knowing which costs are relevant, i.e. future costs that vary among alternatives. It is important to know what information to use and not just how to execute the analysis.

Herrestad Company receives an offer to make a new product, called C, for a new customer. The customer wants to buy 1,000 units. Product C has the same cost structure as product B with three exceptions. The new customer is only willing to pay $150 per unit, direct materials costs will decrease by $12 per unit and Herrestad does not have to incur any variable selling and administrative expenses.

Make a list of the expenses and amounts that are relevant for this decision. How much with the sale of this product contribute to the profitability of Herrestad?
What if the company only pays $140 per unit? How does this change the contribution towards profitability?
If you were the manager, would you accept this order? What considerations, other than financial would enter into your decision?

Financial budgets should not only provide a plan for the income statement but should also include the balance sheet. This enables the organization to consider potential cash-flow needs for your entire operation, not just as they pertain to income and expenses.

There are three major types of budgets: (1) operating budget, (2) financial budget, and (3) capital budget. They are all important, however, the emphasis is on the operating budget in this course.

An operating budget serves multiple purposes.

It forces managers and supervisors to plan
It provides information that can be used as a tool for improve decision making
It provides information that can be used for control and performance evaluations
It improves the functions of communication and coordination
