SureCut Shears Case Write-up The issues presented in this case are mainly due to incorrect assumptions about the market for sales in 1995 and the subsequent retail downturn that followed. More specifically‚ Mr. Fischer (CEO of SureCut Shears) assumed sales and demand in 1996 would be consistent with the prior year. However‚ as noted in the actual financial statements for 1996‚ inventories grew‚ reflecting that demand for its products was not as anticipated beforehand. In addition‚ sales declined

Intro notes: • Seasonal business with some 60% of annual sales occurring from Aug-Dec • Original pro forma figures are a no growth scenario including the seasonal sales pattern (might be a first pessimistic stance of the management as SureCut grew steadily during the past) • Short-term financing usually for seasonal inventory built up from July – Nov • Due to investment in plant modernization (USD 2.99mn capex planned in July+Aug 1995) company needs ST borrowings for financing gap of USD 1.16mn

What assumptions did Mr. Fischer make when he prepared the forecasts shown in case Exhibits 1 and 2? Were these assumptions reasonable? General Assumptions 1. The company has seasonality in sales This assumption is reasonable as the business has been shown to have different rates of sales in different months. Assumptions (Income Statement) 1. Sales for the year will be consistent with the previous year (only a small decrease) This assumption is reasonable since a decline in sales was not

Mrs. Shears is a close neighbor of Christopher’s who has also made a difference Christopher’s life. When Christopher’s mother passed away he remembers that Mrs. Shear would come over to his house and help Chris’s dad and Chris around the house in many ways. For example‚ she cooked meals for them and cleaned the house. She also played scrabble with Chris‚ which he really enjoyed. She made a difference in society by helping people that were in need‚ especially a single dad with a mentally disabled

study of the rheological behavior of cheese. Small-Amplitude Oscillatory shear is a fundamental test that provides a better understading of the structure of various kinds of cheese. This paper will explain the basics of the Small-Amplitude Oscillatory Shear test (SAOS) as well as the various tests’ results on four of the most popular cheeses: Cheddar‚ Gouda‚ Feta and Mozzarella. Introduction Small-Amplitude Oscillatory Shear (SAOS) experiments are used to detect and study the viscoelastic properties

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION The seismic force-resisting system of a building structure is composed of vertical elements‚ horizontal elements‚ and the foundation (Fig.1.1). The vertical elements extend between the foundation and the elevated levels‚ providing a continuous load path to transmit gravity and seismic forces from the upper levels to the foundation. The horizontal elements typically consist of diaphragms‚ including collectors. Diaphragms transmit inertial forces from the floor system to the
