Summary: We Expect BEWI To Increase Sales

Decent Essays
We expect the BEWI to increase sales by improving the efficiency of the consignment and sales processes. The BEWI will allow students to fill out all information needed to consign their books prior to arriving at the book exchange. Students purchasing books will be able to identify which books they need for their course and if the book exchange has it in stock. This will free up time the book exchange personnel would have spent on figuring out which books the student needs. We expect this BEWI to significantly decrease time spent processing books for consignment, allowing the sales process to be more streamlined.

Conservative estimates of tangible value to CFOA includes:
· Expected increase of consignment fee revenue - $13,000

    Adley- Week2 DQ2 Initial Reply Capital expenditures (CAPEX) are actual expenses incurred to purchase or maintain property assets. These cash outflows are capitalized on the balance sheet, shown as depreciable expenses on the income statement, and deducted over an IRS-specified term of 3-7 years. Explicitly regarding pro forma analysis, CAPEX are projected costs to maintain the asset in good repair, and a line-item section under improvements of the depreciation schedule, along with tenant improvements (TI). Moreover, CAPEX will vary year to year based on “wear and tear” and planned capital improvement projects, and can be calculated by a percentage of revenue, square foot, or unit. As a result, Linneman (2011) notes that “Forecasted cap ex reflects expectations about future outlays; forecasted depreciation reflects the application of depreciation rules to past outlays” (p. 54)…

    IAS 16-30 and 16-31 lay out two methods to record the value of property. The first method is the cost model; this states that the property is carried at cost less any accumulated depreciation or impairment losses. The second method is the revaluation model. The revaluation model can be used to carry the building at fair value, if it can be measured reliably, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. If the company chooses the revaluation model, IAS 16-39 states that the $10 million increase in value would be recognized through comprehensive income under the heading “Revaluation Surplus”.…

    After reading Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451, it is easy to imagine its fictional society becoming a reality in the current society today. The use of actual material books is already becoming obscure. In Bradbury’s story, Guy Montag is a fireman honored with the job of burning books. Books were burned because they were seen as sources of useless information that made people think about their world around them. Soon Montag is torn between believing in what society thinks and between what he thinks himself.…

    When purchasing a book, a buyer drives or walks to their local bookstore, opens the shop’s door, feels a gust of wind hit their face as the air in the room becomes disturbed from the opening of the door, and searches through rows and rows for what they fancy. When looking at prospective purchases, the customer studies at the front cover, picks up the book, reads the summary, and brushes their thumb against the pages, letting them flow in a steady stream towards the opposite direction. This helps the buyer determine if he or she wants to purchase the book. After they find what they want, they walk to the register (if there’s a line, they wait), pay for their book, and they walk out the door, being hit by the outside air. Then, they travel home…

    Writers and publishers are trying out an updated method of building an audience for books long before they are published or even written. They see crowdsourcing as a unique method of uncovering hidden talents and measuring fans’ reactions and feedback before they are even released.

    This journal article dives into the costs of producing college level text books to decide if they're adequately and reasonably. Publishers clam that one of the largest factors in higher book prices is the sale of used books by the school book stores, used book dealers, and students. The publisher loses money overtime as their books are resold and not new copies being purchased. This works out for the student in the short-term but in the end increases overall book prices as the publisher will raise prices to make up for that loss. College books are often less expensive overseas, publishers defend this practice for the reasoning that they would not be able to sell any books overseas in poorer countries if they did not adapt to the local market.…

    (10 points) • The projections for revenue are higher than past trends could suggest. For example Men’s casual shoes had negative revenue growth in the past few years but in Liedtke’s projections he has the growth increasing 2% then 3% a year later which seems high. Should be more conservative based on past trends. • Next CAGR is a calculation that Liedke used to find the compound annual growth rate. However this calculation does not include any risks so it does not take systematic risk into account which could cause some problems in the valuation • Another thing that is somewhat questionable in Liedtke’s projections was how he said he would be integrating the women’s line from Mercury but in the projections sheet he has written off the line which will reduce the revenue for the valuation of mercury.…
