    Founded in 1907 in Brenham, Texas, the Brenham Creamery Company originated as, and continues to be, a family owned business. It initially specialized in the making of butter. In order to produce this good, excess cream possessed by surrounding farmers was purchased. A few years later, the Brenham Creamery Company began making and selling ice cream. This action soon proved to be very satisfactory as it began generating profits for the company. However, it was not until 1930 that the company officially changed its name to Blue Bell Creameries. Blue Bell has successfully infiltrated its respective market. Although their ice cream can be found throughout only 20 states in the nation, it is the third best-selling ice cream in the United States, following Breyers and Edy’s/Dreyer’s (Funding Universe). Blue Bell’s success can be measured through their need of facility expansion. Currently, there are 49 operating branches. A vital branch to this company is located in Harlingen, Texas. It will be the primary focus of our study. The Harlingen Branch is located at 300 Hanmore Industrial Parkway and Expressway 83. It serves as the main distributor of Blue Bell ice cream throughout the Rio Grande Valley. The branch is situated in a high traffic area. The territory where the branch is located is no more than one third of an acre in size. The region surrounding the branch is completely occupied by local businesses. Lack of land size has created a parking issue. It is unable to house its seven delivery trucks. They have remedied this situation by renting a parking facility in Pharr, Texas.…

    In 2007, I founded a guild called the Little Lemon Drop Jr. Guild that raises funds for uncompensated care at Seattle Children's Hospital and I have been very involved with this organization ever since. Last year, we were preparing for an upcoming fundraiser and I was supposed to be working on raffle ticket sales with another Little Lemon Drop. Because she is only ten years old, I assumed she would not be much help. Thus, I did everything we were supposed to do together by myself. After many long hours of work, I completed all of the tasks. When this Little Lemon Drop found out that I had already done all of the work, she was very hurt that I didn't give her the opportunity to try and help me with what we needed to get done. I responded appropriately…

She is recording revenue when she receives the cash rather than when it is earned. Christy still has a liability to meet (product to deliver) and she can only record revenue when the work is performed, in her case, when the lemonade is delivered to the client.…

    Market For Lemons Summary

    • 328 Words
    • 2 Pages

    In this article, the author examines the relationship between quality and uncertainty and their implication on the theory of markets. Akerlof uses the example of the automobile market in order to illustrate the effects of uncertainty and quality on consumer behavior. In his example, Akerlof begins with the assumption that consumers have the option of either buying a new or used car. However, the consumer cannot predict whether the car that they buy is a good car or a “lemon”. Therefore, the probability of a car being good can have a probability of q while the probability of a lemon would be (1-q). This probability increases, however, as time progresses and you learn about your car. Therefore, it can be seen that the seller will have a more accurate prediction on the quality of the car as opposed to the buyer because the seller has more information on the car. The problem is that the seller is forced to sell his car at a price which disregards quality because buyers are unable to tell the difference between a good car and a lemon. Therefore, the seller is not able to receive the true value of his car and therefore forced to operate under a loss.…
