    Based on our findings in Part A, the company will definitely need outside financing. There is a cash deficit in three months out of the year that was examined. The months that are deficits are March, April, and June 2004. If there is no outside financing brought into the company, the cash that is needed in order to cover the expenses that are incurred the month following each deficit will not be available. Without the cash being fed into the company through financing, there would be no way for the company to pay the expenses such as administration, materials, lease or income taxes. A company cannot stay continue to operate if there are more expenses than there is revenue. By acquiring outside financing, the company "buys" itself time to better its financial standing and gives them the cash to pay the expenses that are needed to keep the business afloat.…

    Present day labor laws protect employees from employer abuse, including hazardous working conditions and unreasonably low wages; but, this was not always true. In the early 20th century, commonly referred to as the “Lochner Era”, the Supreme Court of the United States protected businesses by rejecting State-regulated economic regulations (Choudhry 2004, 6). This precedent was revisited in the 1937 landmark Supreme Court Case, West Coast Hotel Co. v. Parrish, which involved, Elsie Parrish, a chambermaid at the West Coast Hotel, who sued the Cascadian Hotel (owned by the West Coast Hotel Company,) for not having been paid the legal minimum wage (West's Encyclopedia of American Law). In 1932, a law had passed in Washington State, known as “Minimum…
