    Although we were a little more focused on shooting par this past weekend rather than the company, our recent meeting regarding the issue of maximizing energy efficiency has interested me into researching wind turbines and other sustainable practices. As a manager and colleague, I believe it is not in the company’s best interest investing into wind turbines at this time and also due to Carbondale’s low average wind speed. However, I believe there are alternative energy-saving options that could be implemented to lessen Groggs peak energy expenses and specifically reduce the company’s dependence on coal. Nowadays, many businesses are starting to focus more and more on environmental sustainability and implementing such practices would allow Groggs Peak to improve its commitment to corporate social responsibility while bettering customer loyalty. After conducting some research, I am excited to share my findings and alternative benefits for your proposal.…

    Blue Ridge’s strategy prior to the new ink would be cost leadership. This strategy is where a firm outperforms competitors in producing products or services at the lowest cost. Using an ABC costing system is evidence that the firm is attempting to accurately cost their products, and produce them at lower costs than competitors. ABC will also be used for more accurate information of each customer group, along with their profitability. Their limited selection of product lines is another example of why their strategy is cost leadership. However, the company is now innovating and creating a higher quality product, which is moving toward a differentiation strategy. This is a strategy in which a firm succeeds by developing and maintaining a unique value for the product or service as perceived by customers. The new ink is non-toxic and does not wash out like the old ink. This will add value to their “medium quality” product as well as their customers. The new ink is differentiating Blue Ridge’s product from their competitors. However, if they do not own a patent on the ink, it will be easy for competitors to imitate their product and Blue Ridge will no longer have a sustainable advantage.…

    1. In a defined-contribution (DC) pension plan, the employee or employer, or both, make regular contributions to the plan. In the US, employees typically set aside a predetermined percentage of their earnings which is deposited to the plan and the employer will match that contribution. Ultimately, the amount of money available to the individual upon retirement is determined by the performance of their investments. Each employee retains the option to choose how to diversify their investments, while the employer will typically provide a “default allocation” option. The options available are generally very varied, and includes a number of index funds and actively managed mutual funds.…

    The courts enforce a liquidated damages clause even if the final result of a case seem to be not fair for any of the parties. This is because of the set out they have agreed on in a contract. However, the courts will not enforce a bargain that leads to a penalty. The liability of proving that a clause is a penalty is dependent on the person trying to deny the liquidated damages application. Therefore, there are indicators and teste for a penalty in law. The test for penalty is known as the Dunlop test which was established in 1915 by Lord Dunedin. The test is to determine if stipulation in the contract is liquidated damages or a penalty. The indicators for the Dunlop test are where the liquidated damages are 'extravagant and unconscionable'…
