Answer each of the 21 questions as specified (2 from each chapter within Modules 5 and 6). Answer each question completely, yet concisely. Note: this written “test” is not just a completion assignment, but will be graded accordingly for accuracy and completeness of your answers. Note: words like “explain”, “define”, “describe”, and “summarize” require some explanation versus the word “list”. Read each question carefully so you know what it is I am asking you to write. You will need to spend ample time working on this assignment. Do not wait until the last minute! This assignment is due by 11:59pm Thursday, April 30.

You may research these questions using various sources, but be aware of plagiarism. Any direct quotes from sources must be referenced and cited, just like any research paper, and the extent of direct quoting needs to be limited. Your best source of information is your textbook, as the information and questions directly address topics covered for this course, and from the textbook. You must do your own work, no copying from anyone else. You will submit this assignment to a drop box, just like your out of class assignments, and SafeAssign will be enabled to check for plagiarism and copying.

Last year, the marketing department rolled out a Loyalty Card strategy to increase sales. Under this program, customers present their Loyalty Card when paying for their orders and receive some free food after making 10 purchases.
The company has collected data from its 74 restaurants to track important variables such as average sales per customer, year-on-year sales growth, sales per sq. ft., Loyalty Card usage as a percentage of sales, and others. A key metric of financial performance in the restaurant industry is annual sales per sq. ft. For example, if a 1200 sq. ft. restaurant recorded $2 million in sales last year, then it sold $1,667 per sq. ft.
Executive management wants to know whether the current expansion criteria can be improved. They want to evaluate the effectiveness of the Loyalty Card marketing strategy and identify feasible, actionable opportunities for improvement. As a member of the analytics department, you’ve been assigned the responsibility of conducting a thorough statistical analysis of the company’s available database to answer executive management’s questions.

Winfield Refuse Management, Inc. was a small, publicly traded waste management company with a regional footprint in the Midwest. Founded in 1972, the company grew both organically and through small acquisitions. As larger competitors in the waste management industry consolidated smaller players and benefited from economies of scale, Winfield sought to maintain its competitive position by acquiring MPIS, a larger, more ambitious target. The acquisition of MPIS would require external financing, but the company had long followed a policy of avoiding long-term debt. However, Winfield management and some members of the board questioned this strategy and argued that issuing debt might be preferable to a stock issuance.

Procedure

Read the case study, “Winfield Refuse Management, Inc.: Raising Debt vs. Equity” from the Harvard Business CoursePack.

After reading the case study, complete a cash flow analysis of debt vs. equity financing, and demonstrate that you understand the implications of this analysis.

According to sba.gov (2015), A partnership (https://www.sba.gov/business-guide/launch-your-business/choose-business-structure) is a single business where two or more people share ownership.

Because partnerships entail more than one person in the decision-making process, it’s important to discuss a wide variety of issues upfront and develop a legal partnership agreement. This agreement should document how future business decisions will be made, including how the partners will divide profits, resolve disputes, change ownership (bring in new partners or buy out current partners), and how to dissolve the partnership. Although partnership agreements are not legally required, they are strongly recommended and it is considered extremely risky to operate without one.

Explain how partnerships are formed. What are the duties imposed by the law on these partners? Are there any circumstances where one partner should be liable for the activities of another partner?
