Why the companies change the packaging to sell the same product? Why similar products, but with different brands are perceived as different? If the consumer perceives a product as different from the others, the company that sells this product, has a competitive advantage from the other companies. And if a company sells a particular product, it will increase its profits. This is an important market law, and thanks to that law we have a wide range of goods in the shops
It is safe to assume that Riot Games cares a lot about visibility. With their own developers regularly engaging their customers and the ever increasing coverage of their own spectator sport acting as the most powerful form of advertising available, League of Legends is quickly becoming a household name. As arguably the largest game played on the planet, Riot Games enjoys significant brand recognition. The game isn’t without flaws. Unfavorable patch cycles, server latency and lag, and errors occur frequently in League of Legend’s constant development cycle. For a company like CanGo to compete in an online market choked by Riot, they will have to work three times harder than most and do so with the knowledge and acceptance a larger force looms overhead. If they succeed, they will be a welcome competitor to Riot. Riot has only one game after all and while many people play it, it would be foolish to assume that’s the only game they play. CanGo can find a niche in the online gaming market and if they carve it out with a favorable patch cycle and reduce latency and lag early, success may come to the company after all.

Cash Ratio measures the cash available to the company in order to satisfy its short-term liabilities. Cash ratio of at least .5 is better because there are very few companies that actually have enough cash to cover their current liabilities.

This ratio is an indication of a company’s creditworthiness and is used to decide how much credit should be extended to the company. In the case of Newmont it has a ratio of 1.96 which is a good indication that the company would be worthy of a loan from creditors. In the case of Freeport the cash ratio is 0.05 which is very small even compared to the industry average of .65. This means that a lender
The Boston Beer Company revenue has increased steadily and show great investment opportunities. There was a slight decrease from year 2013 to 2014 for the gross profit margin; this would be concerning if the company did not have a high gross profit margin, showing that they are making just over $.50 profit for every $1.00 in revenue.

Based off of this information on the contribution margin per labor hour it would seem that Product M should be produced.

I selected the acid-test ratio for my sixth item to study as this targets M1 and other forms of assets that are easily convertible to cash. In 2013, Kraft appeared to have been in decent shape to pay off their current liabilities. In 2014, they fell further into the red. While this is not uncommon to have a low acid-test ratios, it indicates that Kraft would have difficulties paying off their liabilities. Something positive for Kraft having a low acid-test ratio is they have invested much of their highly liquid assets back into the company. Shareholders would generally approve of this ratio, as the more money that is being invested in the company (we can see that our inventory turnover and quantity of inventory have both increased in 2014),
