Week 10 Reading reflection

Week 10 reading reflection

The biggest surprise to me was the break-even analysis, but it wasn’t overwhelmingly surprising. It makes sense that there’s a decision-making tool that tells how many units need to be sold in order to figure out when a company is in the clear.

What kind of confused me was how the ratio analysis could be measured with a vertical or horizontal analysis. How does one analysis tell you the strength and weaknesses, while the horizontal analysis only shows you whether it’s decreasing or increasing? 

I guess if I had two questions, it would be like the ones I would ask about the ratio analysis. How does one analysis tell you the strength and weaknesses, while the horizontal analysis only shows you whether it’s decreasing or increasing? 

I don’t think there was anything the author was wrong about. The budgeting process makes a lot of sense. The balance, income and cash-flow statements make sense to me. 

Elevator Pitch No. 3

Hey there!
Below, you'll find my Elevator pitch.

So? What I found was, a lot of students care about this issue. I mean, as Gainesville's population continues to grow, as a direct result of UF's population growing, urban sprawl is going to be an issue. We need to find ways to implement UF's mission of sustainability in everything we do. That is why my company, Your Next Destination, is the way to go. Maybe I'm bias, but I think my idea is a good way to follow through with UF's mission of sustainability and accommodating the needs of students.

I changed my concept of building outwards. The plan was to create a lot horizontally, to have a metro system running through it, but I found that it isn't possible. Gainesville is facing an issue of growth. In order to avoid creating more problems, we'll need to build skyward.

Thanks for reading!
