Case Study: Piedmont Park

The Piedmont Triad Regional Council (PTRC) has administered the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) since 2013. The WAP program is a nationwide program funded through a federal grant to provide weatherization services (such as insulation and air sealing) at no cost to low income, elderly, and disabled homeowners and renters. WAP is primarily administered through Council of Governments, like PTRC, or by non-profit agencies. The WAP program at PTRC serves a seven county region in North Carolina, including Alamance, Caswell, Davidson, Forsyth, Guilford, Randolph, and Rockingham counties. PTRC WAP is under contract with North Carolina Department of Environmental quality to complete weatherization on ### houses and heating and air replacement

Frasier Meadows, a private not-for-profit retirement community in Boulder, Colorado, offers residents independent and assisted living options, as well as skilled nursing care. From September 11 - September 30, 2013, severe rainstorms caused flooding to Frasier Meadows’ assisted living and healthcare facilities and its underground parking garage (See Figure 1: Flood Damage to Frasier Meadows’ Underground Garage). The President declared a major disaster on September 14, 2013.

I enjoyed reading your post. I appreciate your mention of Glenwood Park in Atlanta, Georgia. Glenwood Park was founded in 2003 and sustainably consists of thousands of pounds of reused and salvaged materials. Green Street has salvaged and reused 259,200,000 lbs of concrete, 800,000 lbs of granite ruble blocks, 30,000,000 lbs of wood chips (An Earthcraft Community, 2003). The wood chips were converted to energy via a waste to energy plan that produced enough energy to power 1355 homes for a year (An Earthcraft Community, 2003). In addition, Glenwood Park harvests about 35,000 gallons of water per week from well water to irrigate street trees and central parks (An Earthcraft Community, 2003). Using the well water reduces the amount

n Savannah’s flawless first day of spring, Shortie Campbell tilted his face up to the sunshine and drew in a deep breath, enjoying the sweet scent of the blossoming Forsyth Park azaleas carried on the gentle spring breeze. He allowed himself two more deep breaths before he forced himself to get back to work. He reached into his battered white delivery van and picked up the wedding cake, careful to hold it away from his body, so he wouldn’t accidentally smash the frosting roses he’d created so painstakingly at five o’clock that morning. Balancing the three-tiered confection with care and precision, he carried it from his delivery van to the cake table.

A the June mid-month meeting of Lake Forest’s City Council, the city’s director of finances had the pleasure of presenting a balanced budget that was accompanied by fully funded reserve funds.

There are around 150 homes in Holiday Hills, a neighborhood in North Central Austin, Texas that shares the 78752 Travis County zip code. Holiday Hills is conveniently located off Northcrest Lane, between US-183 and Interstate 35, a major Interstate Highway that stretches from Laredo, Texas to Duluth, Minnesota. It lies just under 7 miles to the north of Downtown Austin. The predominantly mature real estate community of Holiday Hills provides a quiet, laid-back suburban escape for the weary city dweller who is tired of the exhausting and never-ending rat race of metropolitan living.

The internal sales data showed that the business would need $45,000 in monthly revenue to break even. The sales forecast which have been prepared keep in mind a 65% gross margin, however, based on actual figure for 2009, this target has not been reached, and the forecasted sales have fallen.

The United States steel industry is currently facing an economic decline, due to an increase in foreign-produced steel imports. The cheap, foreign-subsidized imports are decreasing the demand for steel produced in America and, therefore, is causing American steel companies to financially struggle and lay off workers (Gibson & Smith, 2016). Similarly, the International Steel Group (ISG) Steelton, as stated in the case, is on a hiring freeze perhaps to reduce costs, due to financial concerns. The ISG Steelton steel plant hired six college students for the summer, perhaps to save on labor costs. According to the Department of Labor, exemptions under the Fair Labor Standards Act allow full-time students and workers under 20 to be paid less than the federal minimum wage (U.S. Department of Labor). Due to poor profitability, ISG Steelton is faced with challenge of completing tasks with limited resources and time. The six college students must load scrap metal covering an area the size of a football field by hand in two weeks,

I think the planning provide 10% for low-income family and HUD affordable housing is enough. Although nearly 45% of Highland Park residents’ annual income are under $25,000, the median household income in Highland Park reaches $45,478 (2008 dollars), which is about average for the city of Los Angeles. If the government offers more low-income and HUD housing, it might decrease the housing price in this area. Also, the price of condos $560,000 is a little lower around Highland Park Metro station area. However, the rental of apartments $2200 is a little higher than surrounding. In order to provide affordable price for people to live here and over 60% of residents are renters, I think the rental price could be a little lower such as around $2,000.

This question gives students an opportunity to exercise their ability to interpret break-even analyses. Key teaching points should include explaining the preparation of a break-even chart, the interpretation of the break-even volume (938,799 hectoliters [HL]), and the comparison of the break-even volume to the current volume (1,173,000 HL). Another key point is that the chart in case Exhibit 5 is relevant only for the current cost structure of the company—if variable costs increase or the plant expansion is approved, the break-even volume will rise. Finally, students should be aided in understanding that “break-even” refers to operating profit, not free cash flow. The typical use of the break-even chart ignores taxes, investments, and the depreciation tax shield.

Based on the above formulas, I have come up with the following data summary table:
