    Almost 10 years ago, my dad put some money into a share for a gas station to help my uncle out. So I guess it's our family business and in whatever way we can help, we should help out. My grandfather works there like every day and some times he needs help with carrying things. I come with him to the store and once we get to our gas station, I arrange everything in the little storage room with my grandfather's help. I know both my grandfathers as hardworking people but since my other grandfather from my father's side lives in India, I'm not there to see it. I see how dedicated my grandfather who lives here is when he shows up to the gas station each morning. Each day to relax, he tries to get some of his friends together to play card games.…

    Our group performed an analysis of Dollar General’s external and internal environment, which included a Porters Five Forces breakdown. Those findings as well as analysis on the company’s financial statements formed the basis for our recommendations. We considered several alternative growth strategies for Dollar General to implement. Those strategies are, international expansion, continued domestic expansion, internal improvements, extending services, and taking the company private. We concluded that the most beneficial direction for the company is to go private thereby relieving pressure to meet short-term objectives. We also believe that Dollar General can benefit from increasing domestic expansion and improving its value chain efficiency by upgrading merchandising products. This strategy will allow Dollar General to achieve sustainable long-term growth.…

     Free trade zone: Wal-Mart encountered a problem that its imports charges on many of the goods from America. Thus prevent Wal-Mart from being able to offer its “Every Day Low Prices”. After the implementation of NAFTA, Mexico, U.S and Canada become free trade zone. Wal-Mart can reduce the tariffs on American goods sold to Mexico from 10 percent to 3percent. That can decrease their cost for the products.  Solve logistical problem: The transportation of Mexico is really poor. The poor road and scarcity of delivery trucks contribute to the high logistics cost. However, the implementation of NAFTA solves the problem. Because NAFTA encourages Mexico to improve its transportation infrastructure, the logistical cost becomes lower.  Reduce the human cost: The signing of NAFTA opens the gates wider to foreign investment in Mexico. Wal-Mart builds manufacturing plants in Mexico because of the cheap labors. As companies began to build manufacturing plants in Mexico, Wal-Mart can buy these products without paying the high import tariffs. To sum up, lower human cost makes lower import tariffs and thus leads to cheaper products. Therefore, Wal-Mart is really success in Mexico.…

    The liquidity ratio is an indicator of a firm's market liquidity and its ability to meet creditor's demands. Acceptable current ratios vary from industry to industry and the generally accepted norm is between 1.5 and 3 for healthy businesses. As we can see from the aforementioned table, Wal-Mart's current ratio in 2004 was 0.91 and in 2005 was 0.90. This is way below the industry average, hence it is safe to assume that it is not in good financial health at that point in time. Further, the Quick ratio in 2004 was 0.21, in 2005 was 0.21 and the cash ratio in 2004 was 0.14, for 2005 was 0.13.…
