    Lemonade Stand Economic Report

    Over the three season period, the lemonade stand has shown a non-steady revenue growth. Although this growth is positive, there are aspects of the business that, if managed more efficiently, could have brought the stand a significant increase in overall profits. First, the price per cup could have been increased before the end of Season Two. This simple increase in price would increase revenues and profits for the season. Second, there was a lack of wise management towards the purchase of supplies during season two. It was difficult to forecast the turnout for each day and not enough supplies were purchased in preparation for a predicted rush of customers. This mismanagement leads to having not enough supplies; a high inventory turnover, decreased expenses due to management mistakes instead of business operations. However, despite the downfall in Season Two, inventory turnover did improve in Season Three.…

    Because the current ratio has two components; total current assets and total current liabilities, I will look at the balance sheet and the notes to see what transactions would have affected either of those numbers. In the notes, Microline indicates that the 90 day note payable that was entered on Nov 12, 2014 was converted into a long-term note.

    I would like to start by creating one new product at a time and see how it goes from there. If it works out, we will then reveal a new product, and continue doing so until it no longer works out. We must then announce our new products to the world, or our community at first since we are still expanding. I want to start targeting the younger audience as well as the adults. After doing so, we will make our products, new and old, cheaper compared to our competitors near us. Hoping that in doing so, sales will begin to increase, and the numbers of customers start increasing as well. After everything is set and stone, we will then see our place in the market and see how well our popularity among the area is doing. If successful, we will consider expanding onto the neighboring cities and eventually, across the…

    This would mean that the company is more liquid and is able to pay back its short term liabilities with its short term assets. It has $1.21 of current assets to pay off every $1 of liabilities. However, the cash ratio of Raffles decrease from 0.32 to 0.21, Raffles is less able to cover its liability using its available cash and cash equivalents as compared to 2013. This decrease in cash ratio is mainly due to a payment of $81.3 million to Kazanah for the purchase of a 10% stake in OUC. However, since the current ratio is still more than 1, this suggests that Raffles can still pay all its current liabilities in the immediate short term. It has $1.36 of current assets to pay off every $1 of liability in…
