Chemical Bank Case

Finally, in order to complete a more accurate comparison between the two projects, we utilized the EANPV as the deciding factor. Under current accepted financial practice, NPV is generally considered the most accurate method of predicting the performance of a potential project. The duration of the projects is different, one lasts four years and one lasts six years. To account for the variation in time frames for the projects and to further refine our selection we calculated the EANPV to compare performance on a yearly basis.

Dealing with Investment banking and investment management, the Lehman Brothers was one of the largest global financial service providers. Consequently, the subprime mortgage crisis left the company filing for the declaration of the chapter 11 bankruptcy protections, due to the unnecessary undertaken risk and obnoxious negligence accusations directed towards the group.

Production line workers are the employees who are usually doing their work by hand or in this day and age, running the machine or equipment to make the products. In this particular case, Canada Chemicals Corporation utilizes their production employees by producing industrial chemicals. These production worker’s jobs are a lot more complete then other production level workers employees as they usually have plenty of skill, knowledge and experience, and have high educational background. In order to reverse recent challenges with production and sales, I have composed a compensation package for these employees that will motivate them intrinsically, and focus on rewards that are extrinsic.

Jones over forecasts his inventory and has a low inventory turnover ratio. This drastically increases his accounts payable, as he isn’t able to pay due to low cash inflow.

Also Jones isn’t able to take advantage of the cash discounts offered by his suppliers due to his slow cash collection process. In order to perform well, the company must improve its inventory system and its cash collection policies.

v. Bausch & Lomb Inc., the court was tasked to decide if the post-closing price dispute provision controlled the seller’s objections or if the objections fell under the indemnification arbitration provision. The court reasoned that since the post-closing price dispute provision clearly set forth that the expert accountants shall “determine on the basis of Accounting Principles whether and to what extent, if any, the CNOAS requires adjustment,” the dispute provisions applied to the seller’s objections, which claimed incorrectly recorded values on the CNOAS. The court went on to find that even though the language of the post-closing price dispute provision did not refer to the expert accountant procedure as a valuation or appraisal, the agreement clearly provided for a third party to determine the controversy via a specific procedure which is allowed under N.Y. CPLR §

Case Analysis: Alpen Bank The main issue that Alpen bank is facing is whether or not they should launch the credit card business in the Romania market and which group of target audience they should select while applying the launching strategy.

Another strategy commonly used is 'Discounts for the early payments', This is where a business may offer discounts to account customers for the early payment of their accounts to speed up cash inflow. This discount may be a little as 2-5%, but shows effective in terms of cash inflow as it gives incentive for the customers, Giving both the customer and business a gain in the financial situation. Other incentives for early payment could include small gifts and discounts on future orders that the customers may have. The business then may shorten the credit terms it allows for account customers. Thus Reducing the number of days that a customer can take to pay its invoice, this will speed up cash inflow into the business as it recieves cash from its sales much sooner.
