Charlie Driver is 23. For the past five years, since finishing high school, he has been working and saving money. He has about $20,000 in the bank and has decided to attend his local college and take courses in marketing. To help pay for his living costs and tuition fees, and to obtain some business experience, Charlie has contracted with a local mobile catering company to become an independent driver. Charlie wants to do this in a business-like way and has given himself a company name: Charlie’s Convenient Catering (or the 3C Company for short). He has opened up a bank account with $20,000 in the company’s name. From this account he has purchased a secondhand fully equipped truck for $16,000.
Charlie started in business on January 1. Although he has taken no accounting courses, he realized he would have to provide an accountant, at the year’s end, with detailed records of all transactions during the year. At the end of the year, Charlie asked you, as a friend, to help him put together some figures. All sales during the year were on a cash basis. Unfortunately, despite the fact that Charlie carefully recorded each day’s revenue in a daily diary, he cannot find that diary.
At the end of December, he had $11,110 in his bank account and $48 in change in the cash drawer in the truck. He paid cash during the year for food, beverages, and other supplies that he purchased from the catering company he was contracted to. According to invoices this totaled $25,296. He estimates year-end inventory in the truck to be $350. Charlie had no employees but took $2,000 a month out of the company for his own salary. During the year he paid operating expenses (maintenance, gas, and oil, licensing) on the truck in cash. These expenses added up to $1,828. In addition there is one more unpaid repair invoice to come, for $254. The two of you decide that, since the truck has an estimated five-year life with no scrap value, depreciation should be calculated on a straight-line basis over that period.
a. b. c. d.
Calculate the 3C Company’s revenue for the year. Calculate the company’s net income for the year. Explain why the cash in the bank is so much higher than the net income. Explain why the 3C Company started out with $20,000 in the bank, has a net income for the year, yet ended up with only about $11,000 in the bank.

Interesting Marketing Ideas Please Help!!!?

Wed, 09 Nov 2011 23:18:06 +0000

I just started a new job. It is with an advancement company. I have to do all the local marketing, I cannot do printed ads, television, radio or Internet.

I need to come up with some good ideas. They did supply some balloons and bags, to make some residential baggies with goodies. The big issue being that I have a tight budget less then 25.00 a month.

Now we can ONLY use approved fliers and discounts. Which we used. We have done up coloring books (pre-approved). We are doing doggy biscuits for the local vets and dog groomers and boarders. Like I said LIMITED budget, so things that will cost little to NO money would be great of course. I am trying to learn the system so my mind is bogged down with that, I just need a few ideas please!!
Sorry it is with a cash advance company.

Advice and Help with my SEO?

Tue, 18 Oct 2011 19:54:36 +0000

Hi people,

I was wondering if people here could lend me a hand with the SEO on my companies website.

I run a web and graphic design company in Dorset, UK. Working mainly locally and trying to target local businesses with our services.

the URL is www.aztec-online.com

I do have a reasonable SEO knowledge, but I am no expert. I will go through the steps I have already taken to improve my SEO and if there is anything I am doing wrong, or missed out please could you let me know.

Currently we dont rank very well for many keywords except the company name ‘Aztec Online’ and 17th for ‘Web Design Wimborne’. The main keywords I would like to target are, ‘Web Design Dorset’, ‘Web Design Poole’, ‘Professional Web Design’, ‘Affordable Web Design’ and all these but for graphic design too.

This is what I have currently done on the website: -
Worked on site content, getting a keyword density of about 5 to 10%
Optimised the image tags, with alts, filenames etc
Optmised the Anchor tags, with titles and keywords within them as well as keywords in url
used keywords in title, header tags
made sure my keywords appear near the top and the bottom
made sure google can see all my links
bolded keywords
supplied an address to help it rank bettter locally

I am currently rebuilding a new website at www.aztec-online.com/AztecOnline2, which I am going to apply all the correct changes to in order to have a better chance of ranking well.

I have also started to try and build up links by doing the following:-
including a link on every clients website web create
a small amount of blog comments
article submission
related directories and local directorys
google local maps
email marketing
am about to start with a press release
finally a few web design assoications

I dont know what else I can do, and I don’t know how long it will take to start ranking. I have pretty much no budget for SEO, but I am also using AdWords.

Can I get some advice from some of the friendly experts on here?

Help on creating a Marketing Plan?

Sun, 16 Oct 2011 23:13:29 +0000

I am helping to put together from information found online info that would help put together a marketing plan.

The company is an internet development agency which builds websites and does SEO (search engine optimization), as well as other internet type duties.

I need to find information on how many people on average start a new business every year, how many of them are local market, national and international, and maybe the types of businesses they are.

Then i need somehow to find a figure stating how many businesses start up that do not have websites and such and then how many businesses on average are start up and running, but have not fully developed that field. Just any information on that field that will help out with a marketing plan and so on.

Any information would be great as well as your sources (i have to provide sources as well)
