ince they are often compared with industry data, ratios help managers understand their company's performance relative to that of competitors and are often used to trace performance over time.Ratio analysis can reveal much about a company and its operations. However, there are several points to keep in mind about ratios. First, a ratio is just one number divided by another. Financial ratios are only "flags" indicating areas of strength or weakness. One or even several ratios might be misleading, but when combined with other knowledge of a company's management and economic circumstances, ratio analysis can tell much about a corporation. Second, there is no single correct value for a ratio.

The observation that the value of a particular ratio is too high, too low, or just right depends on the perspective of the analyst

Strategy formulation is vital to the well-being of a company or organization. There are two major types of strategy: (1) corporate strategy, in which companies decide which line or lines of business to engage in; and (2) business or competitive strategy, which sets the framework for achieving success in a particular business. While business strategy often receives more attention than corporate strategy, both forms of strategy involve planning, industry/market analysis, goal setting, commitment of resources, and monitoring.

Wow, straight out of the capital structure case on Kleen Kar, case 9.

Control would clearly be an issue. There is a danger of loss of control if the company does not use enough debt (through a leveraged buyout), but there is also a danger of loss of control (through bankruptcy) if it uses too much debt. However it is impossible to reach a conclusion as to how control should affect the decision.

There is no typical answer for several reasons. First, "venture capital" is a special term that refers to money invested by professional investment funds, usually in technological or medical types of businesses. Venture capitaltists (or "VCs", as they are known) do not invest in small businesses. They only invest in potentially high-growth companies whose value is likely to increase by at least ten-fold over three to five years. That said, if the question were rephrased as "how much capital might it take to open a dance school...", you would answer it by sitting down and writing a complete business plan for the business, showing all the various costs (rent, salaries, insurance, equipment, advertising, etc.) that must be paid out until the business is generating a profit.

'''''Limitations of financial ratio analysis'''''

# Many ratios are calculated on the basis of the balance-sheet figures. These figures are as on the balance-sheet date only and may not be indicative of the year-round position. # Comparing the ratios with past trends and with competitors may not give a correct picture as the figures may not be easily comparable due to the difference in accounting policies, accounting period etc. # It gives current and past trends, but not future trends. # Impact of inflation is not properly reflected, as many figures are taken at historical numbers, several years old. # There are differences in approach among financial analysts on how to treat certain items, how to interpret ratios etc. # The ratios are only as good or bad as the underlying information used to calculate them.

Although ratio analysis is very important tool to judge the company's performance , following are the limitations of it.

1. Ratios are tools of quantitativeanalysis, which ignore qualitative points of view.

2. Ratios are generally distorted by inflation.

3. Ratios give false result, if they are calculated from incorrect accounting data.

4. Ratios are calculated on the basis of past data. Therefore, they do not provide complete information for future forecasting.

5. Ratios may be misleading, if they are based on false or window-dressed accounting information

Present the VC with an exit strategy

Venture investors are typically looking to invest in high growth companies that are competing in very large markets and have some sort of differentiated defensible technology and/or product Venture capitalist simply invest money in a company and take certain ownership in the company. The question the becomes, how much money do they invest and how much ownership do they take? The quick answer to these questions depends on what stage the company is at. Different venture firms have different strategies. 1. Early/Seed state These groups are typically investing in companies that are very early in their life. The company might have a technology or might just have an idea that they want to develop a business around. If you can have some sort of beta product to show the venture investors, it will help them understand what exactly it is you are trying to do. More times than not, investors investing at this stage are investing in companies that are "pre-revenue." Seed stage venture investors typically invest less than one million in a company. Early stage venture firms typically invest 1-5 million in the company's first round of capital raising. 2. Growth Stage These venture groups are looking to invest in companies that have figured out what their product and technology is and are hopefully gaining traction in the market they are competing in. Traction might mean, users or that the company has customers and is generating revenue. Growth Stage venture investors typically invest 5-15 million in companies. In most cases, they are not the first investor in the company. Many companies at this stage raised seed/early stage financing from other venture investors. When a venture group invests money in a company, they take ownerhsip. How much? The short answer is that it varies. Anytime someone invests in a company they are putting an implied valuation on the company. For example, if you are raising a early round of financing, a venture investor might invest 2 million and take 40 percent of the company. This means the "pre-money" valuation of your company was 3 million. After the investor puts in 2 million in capital, the effective valuation of the company is 5 million.

The answer is: It depends. It depends on how disabled you have become, due to arthritis. You will have to have medical documentation to prove that you have become so disabled that you cannot work any longer. There is a long process of written documentation and face-to-face interview w/Social Security to go through and an even longer wait time to determine if you've been found eligible for benefits. BUT, it is worth the effort if you have a legitimate disability; and even if you are denied benefits the first time, do challenge their findings. For many people, they are automatically denied in the first round - it's a given for many many people. So immediately challenge and argue your case. In many instances, the 2nd time you can be accepted. I hope this proves helpful. Also, as you probably know, you can either call your local Social Security office or go to their website to ask/find specific questions. Good luck.
