The ABC Company is a manufacturing corporation that focuses on producing cedar roofing and siding shingles. The organization presently has per annum sales of about $1.2 million, with a 25% increase from the prior year. The company goal is to reach $ 3 million in annual sales within the next three. The CEO of the company has been trying to find new products that can influence the present ABC employee skillset as well as the manufacturing capabilities. As the new corporate controller, the CEO has come up with a proposal to use the scrap materials from the cedar shingle to build cedar doll houses. The newly develop proposal will undoubtable bring new opportunities for the company on the configuration of increased cost and labor; conversely it will also make available additional revenue and gross profit to help reach the company future goals. This paper would provide great detail about the estimated product costs, what is needed to break even on the project, and what level of return this product is expected to provide.

Risk refers to a likelihood, probability, a chance that a loss may occur in a given organization. Most of the times, there is a high risk when there is vulnerability. In this case, vulnerability refers to a weakness that the organization has. Risk assessment refers to the process of identification of potential hazards and proper analysis of the expected losses if those hazards occur (Homeland Security, n.d.). Risk assessment as a way of profiling risk according to impact to the organization. Some organizations have business impact analysis exercises geared towards determination of potential hazards based risk assessment approaches. Organizations’ risk differ depending on the size and the type of business they are doing. The disparity in organizations’ risk call for different adaptation of risk assessment approaches. Even with the disparities of the businesses, proper risk management not only ranks the risks according to the seriousness but also identifies the best methods to control risks in an organization.

Background- In its most basic sense, risk management identifies, allows assessment, and prioritizes risks that are associated and central to an individual project or organization. Risk management allows the organization to be proactive in preventing or mitigating risks, for improving certain processes within the organization, and with the hope of preventing fiscal exposure. However, in almost every organization there are risks individuals are unique and do not always perform at a high level of safety; mechanical or design failures exist, construction projects have supply or labor issues, there are uncertainties in computer or data modification, of course natural disasters, and even deliberate attacks from competitors, etc. Because this is such a common occurrence, national and even international standards have been developed in conjunction with the insurance and regulatory institutions to at least provide basic guidelines to minimize risks risk (International Organization for Standardization, 2009).
This company has the possibility of many internal, external, and environmental risks that could disrupt business. Examples of some of the risk to this business are fires, hurricanes, water damage,

Analytics within ABC companies industry has traditionally focused on the investment landscape and bringing investment value to your target market. Investment analysis focuses on the premise of “buy low and sell high” or “discount expected future cash flow”.

Those costs eat into the future value of the cash flows expected and thus ABC has traditionally used analytics to build a competitive advantage in bringing low costs to their passively managed investment lineup.
