Roterra Piling Ltd. is family owned business based in Acheson, Alberta that engineers, manufactures and installs pilings foundation products for construction projects. The company began 10 years ago as a small welding shop that fabricated custom metal project for the oil and gas industry. There was such a large demand for one product that eventually screw piles was all that was being manufactured and installed. Since its beginning the company has grown steadily, doubling revenue each year, and has gone through substantial changes. In 2012, the company had outgrown its current facility and the owners decided to build a brand new office and manufacturing plant. This facility has a large yard for products and materials to be stored, a large manufacturing facility with a machine shop, mechanics bays, and an office with room for over 30 employees. The company has had to adopted strict safety, quality and human resources policies and procedures. The company has grown from a one man welding operation to a very successful piling company with over 100 employees in just over 10 years.

First, the “un-engineered” dam violated two laws; second, Pittston knew the dam was not safe; third, Pittston did not have a warning system in place to alert residents in case of disaster; fourth, by convincing the deputies to discontinue their warning efforts, Pittston negated the last-ditch effort that could have saved 125 people (Nugent 183). The most tragic finding from the multiple investigations and studies is that Pittston could have built a safe dam for less than 200,000 thousand dollars, an amount that was a mere “one-half of one percent of its 1971 profits” (Nugent 184), a small sacrifice that could have saved many lives. Pittston’s culpability lies in its reckless greed. One of saddest reminders of the horror of Pittston’s wanton disregard is a tombstone that reads: “This Tiny Trio / Boy-Girl-Boy / Who were the Victims of the Feb. 26, 1972 Buffalo Creek Disaster are unknown to us by name but to Our Heavenly Father they are known as three little angels” (Stern 47). The article Remembering Buffalo Creek, 40 Years Later commemorates the tragedy saying: “We have a responsibility to teach each future generation what happened and why, so that they cannot only reverently remember but make certain that history does not repeat itself” (1). One can hope all companies have this etched in their minds and hearts and souls when they think of sacrificing safety for a

The first would be that instead of capitalizing the $210,000 to set up displays to promote the line, these displays could have been recorded as an Advertising Expense. One of the IFRS criteria for something to be considered an asset is that the benefit must be reasonably measurable. When it comes to anything done for the purpose of advertisement or promotion, it is hard to measure the benefit and that is why this cost could have been expensed rather than capitalized. However, by recording this event as an expense this would mean that Athina’s net income would have been overstated by $210,000 and that is an undesirable outcome for the national chain.

The difference of $47,742,000 is a material due to the magnitude of the difference.

One of the main concerns during the meeting was the impact of cost and time constraints on networking techniques and project schedules. Under the ideal situation, the project start and end dates are fixed. Adding resources is not usually feasible as it increases cost. There should be a balance between time and cost constraints as it avoids wasting of resources. Also most people are willing to accept that costs could exceed expectations, and might even take a perverse delight in recounting past examples, the same is not true for time constraints. This is probably due to the fact that cost over runs are resolved in-house, while schedule issues are open and visible to the customer. A company has a lot of useful, desirable work that could be done, but has limited and finite resources available with which to do that work. Choices have to be made about which work to do and how to allocate resources. This leads to constraints especially, the time constraint and the cost constraint. Time, in project management, is analyzed down to its smallest detail. Each and every component of the project is analyzed with respect to the time required for completion. After completion of this analysis these components are broken down even further into the time required to do each task.

The O.M Scott & Sons Company has had continued success in the grass seed and lawn care industry. The company started in 1868 as a local company in central Ohio, focused on selling grass seed only. The company saw great opportunity in the lawn care industry, so it decided tot take action. O.M Scott & Sons grew into a national company that distributed its products by mail, and eventually sold to retail stores nationwide in 1959. The company was able to grow expanding the company’s field sales force. This increase in sales force led to a continued increase in sales and profits, which allowed the company to invest in R&D more heavily. This increase in R&D led to better products, which further increased sales and profits. The objective was to service the various retailers across the U.S with adequate inventories, especially in the high seasonal peaks. This was difficult for most of the smaller sized dealers the company was selling to, so Scott had to fund the dealer inventory buildup by itself.

In the second week of June, 1988, executives at BW/IP International, Inc. were assembling materials for a presentation they would make to their bankers on June 15. They recently had agreed to acquire United Centrifugal Pumps (UCP) for $18.5 million. UCP 's product line complemented BW/IP 's extremely well and the managers of BW/IP 's pump division were eager to combine the two. Nevertheless, BW/IP 's bank lenders were expected to be somewhat less sanguine. Only a year ago, in May 1987, they had lent $131 million to finance a $235 million leveraged buyout (LBO) of the company. BW/IP had performed according to expectations since then, but it still carried total
