Crazy Eddie

F word he says “Fantastic. When I get home I shall look that up in

Mr. Spindler was asked to come for a debriefing to which he happily agreed. Mr. Spindler was a long time employee of Crazy Eddie until he was terminated by Eddie Antar in May 1987.

It is Eddie’s fifth birthday, and an Irish man, called Mickey Shea joyfully picks Eddie up by his feet and shakes him out once for each year he has completed, while the other adult men laugh and cheer. Firstly, “Eddie is wearing his birthday gift, a red cowboy hat and a toy holster. He gets up and runs from one group to the next, pulling out the toy gun and going, ‘Bang, bang!’ ‘C’mere boy’ Mickey Shea beckons from a bench. ‘Bang, bang,’ goes Eddie. MIckey Shea works with Eddie’s dad, fixing the rides. He is fat and wears suspenders and is always singing Irish songs. To Eddie, he smells funny, like cough medicine” (Albom 23). This is the beginning part of one of the flashbacks that talks about Eddie’s birthday, where the writer introduce Mickey

Question 3: Describe and show the journal entries illustrating how the company accounts for the transfer of its accounts receivable to financial institutions. Is this accounting treatment reasonable? What are the key assumptions made under this approach? Do you agree with these assumptions?

At the age of 16, Eddie began to question the system, and the government. He began to ask why it is that his race is treated differently, and subjected to cruel and unjust laws. This was the beginning of his career in politics. Later in his years, he learned that the land on Murray Island, which he

1) The following table provides key financial ratios for Crazy Eddie during the period 1984-1987:

Interco's overall financial health is relatively healthy. It is highly-liquid as the current ratios are consistently over 3.5, showing that it has plenty of cash to cover any of its current liabilities. Its accounts receivable days indicate that in 1987 it took longer to collect on outstanding accounts while this figure would drop in 1988. The same trend follows with its inventory days, increasing in 1987 and decreasing in 1988, which would signal that its turnover was slower in 1987 and faster in 1988. The accounts payable days increased in 1987 while slightly decreasing in 1988. This is a healthy trend as Interco was able to take

Support: The inventory increase in 1997, YOY, was 58%. Additionally, the COGS to revenue ratio reduced from to 72% in 1997. This combination of increase in inventory and reduction in COGS as a percentage of revenue seems to indicate that the fixed costs may have been spread over a larger base through over production, thereby causing the COGS to reduce. This may be a cause for concern and could be a potential red flag.

Asset turnover has trended downward slightly from 1.46 in 1983 to 1.32 in 1986 due to a decline in inventory turnover (3.99 in 1983 and 3.16 in 1985). In addition, any AMT"s product sits in inventory 255 days before being sold (for 1985). The fixed asset turnover ration has trended upward (from 14.6 in 1983 to 17.1 in 1985) indicating low capital intensity.

The firm’s accounts receivable ratio increased from 68.71 in 2006 to 74.56 in 2010. This means that it is taking Abbott almost six days longer to collect from its customers today than it did five years ago. Furthermore, the firm’s accounts payable days has decreased from 43.72 in 2006 to 38.22 in 2010. This means that Abbott is paying its suppliers 5½ days earlier today than it did in 2006. A change in the inventory ratio from 8.01 in 2006 to 11.03 in 2010 indicates that it is taking the firm longer to sell finished goods than it used to. The increase in the accounts receivable and inventory ratios, combined with a decrease in the accounts payable ratio, indicates poor working capital management and helps to explain why the firm has increased its holdings of cash and short-term investments. To correct this, Abbott’s managers should focus on collecting cash from its customers faster and delaying payments to its suppliers. To maximize its cash position, the firm would be best served by paying its suppliers in the same amount of time as it collects payment from its customers.

That start with Danger. Many people enjoy making fun of him which needs to him getting angry and fired up. When Eddie witnesses this, he tries to defend Danger. Either by holding him back or by fighting for him. For example, when a boxer at the gym made it several remarks about dangers tights, like “nice tights” and “tihjt ass”. Eddie trade to get danger out of trouble. Yet, when the same guy said: “I need to fight a retard and an old man.”Eddie saved danger out of the fight and begin fighting for him. The most considerate gesture I believe Eddie did for danger is helping him out with his training. It's so sweet how Eddie knows it's wrong to treat danger with discrimination just because of his mental disorder. In my opinion, he doesn't treat them like the others do because he believe that everyone deserves a chance. Let us proceed with Maggie. When Frankie didn't want to train her because she was a girl, and he decided to encourage her. Unlike Frankie, Eddie helped her out instead of putting her down. It was obvious that Maggie was very thankful because she said: “I appreciate any help I can get.” not only did he help her with her training, he made her food special by getting her a cupcake for her birthday how thoughtful of

Eddie pushed his players to the point that, sooner or later, each one of them grew to hate him. Messina citizens had a different view of Eddie, they loved him. Why? Because who would not love a man that could put their small town on the map with an 89 streak win in football. Eddie had made such an impact on Messina that when asked, they got him a new football field, even naming it after him. When the team needed new equipment, the booster club was quick to jump on and
