The mission of a gracious non- gain expresses the particular way in which the system of rules will fulfil its public benefit purpose.The board members of a non-profit organization entrusted with the supervision of the board members who induce a legal obligation to ensure that the non-profit organization uses the funds to fulfil its mission. QUESTION Better age Ahead, a charitable organization, has a standing agreement with low gear National Bank. The agreement each(prenominal)ows Better Days Ahead to overdraw its cash balance at the bank when donations are running low. In the past, Better Days Ahead managed funds wisely, and rarely employ this privilege.Jacob Henson has recently become the president of Better Days. To expan d operations, Henson acquired office equipment and spent large occurs on fundraising. During Hensons presidency, Better Days Ahead has maintained a minus bank balance of approximately $10,000. 1. What is the ethical issue in the situation? The issue in this situation is the investment insurance policy. Managers of non-profit organizations must ensure that investments are consistent with the values nd principles set to achieve the stated objectives to guide activities, and ethical behaviour of its employees, volunteers and board members. The lack of an ethical base as a result of the lack of creation and monitoring of ethical standards has the potential to lead to a lack of conquest in the organization. However the fulfilment of the ethical standards of the world by the leader and employees, since success is reflected in the work to be carried out, ensuring the objectives and goals to reach.Better Days Ahead, as a charitable organization, it is not normal to maintain a negative bank explanation as it has no benefits arise from its operations, but since the president of the organization is carrying out his work according to the duties of his job and the agreements with the bank, then it is acting the right way and not against both ethics or agreements. 2. State why you approve or disapprove of Hensons management of Better Days Aheads funds. I would approve of his management of the fund as he is taking out a impart in order to improve the fundraising ability of his charitable organization.Since every charity relies on fundraising in order to increase their in operation(p) funds and potential, the usage of a loan during a slow time in order to increase this fundraising potential of the organization seems to outweigh the impact that the negative bank balance superpower show due to the loan. Certain political party have to do this in order to maintain current condition. What has been done by Better Days Ahead is good to their company and will benefit th em more. last As the conclusion, we can see from above statement, there are still many ways to improve the productivity of the company although the company is doing charitable work.As a manager or even worker, they have to implement the way of ethics in doing lineage of work. Some of the company already implement company policy to smoothing the way of work. To disregard company policy is unethical be give birth it has the potential to harm the company and other employees. To me, unethical behaviours can damage a companys credibility, causing the billet to lose customers and ultimately shut down. However, care proprietors and their management teams can work with employees to prevent unethical behaviours. In this case, the situation that they are acing is still ethical as they have to maintain their current status as charitable company. INTRODUCTION There are many different forms of business organizations. They are sole proprietorship, partnership, and corporation. A sole proprie torship consists of one individual doing business. Sole proprietorship are the most numerous form of business organization in Malaysia, however they account for little in the way of aggregate business receipts. There are no forms you need to fill out to start this type of business. This is the easiest form of business to set up, and the easiest to dissolve.The purpose of most organization or business is mainly to earn profit. It is commonly called as profit oriented business. So, it is actually a profit business or other organization whose primary goal is making money, as opposed to a non-profit organization which focuses a goal such as helping the community and is concerned with money only as much as necessary to keep the organization operating. This includes anything from retail stores to restaurants to insurance companies to real country companies. Question You are opening grovel Creek Pet Kennel.Your purpose is to earn profit and you organize as proprietorship. 1. Make a deta iled of 5 factors you must consider to establish the business. There are many factors that must be considered in order to start a business. Five of them are listed down the stairs Types of business and a proper plan The for the first time thing to be always tryd upon is the type of business we want to do. Before selecting on any type, we should always do a thorough background check on the idea, such as the current trends. For example, people in Malaysia like to recede cats and kittens as their own pet. It has even become a trend.After that is done, a proper road-map should be planned for the road ahead detailing the various costs involved, growth plans, and operating ratio. A thought out plan should also enable us to get a start-up loan from the bank quickly if we want to get crown from bank. Capital The next factor that we need to consider is the money or capital. Usually, small businesses starts with small amount of capital which means only small amount of profit will be earn ed. While arranging the capital, we should always keep a little margin for the initial running cost and the loan re bearment interest.The latter can be avoided, if you can arrange the capital from the family or friends. We can also obtain capital by taking a loan from banks. just, as our business has unlimited liability it is too risky if the business failed. Pet kennel or care taking business doesnt usually need much capital. Marketing Another of the many factors to consider when starting the business is the market you enter and how to reach out and inform people virtually our business. We also need to segment the market in order to satisfy e preciseone. For example, Malays usually keep cats as their pet and Chinese or Indians usually take care of dogs.We can give pamphlets and distribute it from house to house. The pamphlets should contain the details and information. This doesnt cost much as its just photocopy. Besides that, we should be very friendly while interacting with cus tomers to maintain our pubic relation. If we have workers, they should be trained to be persuasive and friendly or maybe talkative. Equipment needed In order to start this soma of business, we need to determine what equipment we need. Firstly, we may need cat cages, dog kennels, cat and dog food, and other things.We also need to decide from where we can get these things and decide which supplier to get these things. The prices of these equipments also need to be considered. Cheap price usually means low quality products and dearly-won products usually are more quality. Location The next important factor that we need to consider is the location of the business. It is appropriate for us to locate our business closely neighborhoods where many people live. We can buy or rent a shop lot or even an empty house and it must be located where people can see and know about it.We shouldnt choose a place far away from peoples houses. But renting a house can annoy or disturb the next door neig hbors with the smell of animals and their noises. This is unethical and can boom our reputation as a business. So it is better if we rent a shop lot in areas where as we cant afford to buy it. 2. Identify 5 or more transactions that your business will undertake to open and operate the Kennel. a) account cash credit capital. * This is important to open the business where the owner puts the capital in the business.This can be said as the initial capital to open and help the owner to operate the business. b) Debit purchases cash credit. * The owner uses some cash to buy equipments from the suppliers as the stocks for his pet kennel business. c) Debit accounts receivables credit service revenue. * The customer now is paying on credit for the service. d) Debit maintenance expense credit cash * The owner spends some cash to repair the broken dog kennel. e) Credit accounts receivables debit cash * The customer on credit pays the remaining balances owed. f) Debit medication expense credit cash While taking care of the dogs, one of them was injured and need to be case-hardened in the animal clinic. 3. income statement The kick Pet Kenner income statement, statement of owners equity, and balance sheet at the end of the first month of operation.

First of all, we use the current ratio of the business where the we divide the original Asset of the business with the current liabilities. This is to measure the businesss current ability to pay off all the liabilities of the business where the higher the ratio, the higher the probability of the business to have enough sufficiency to maintain its business operations. The calculations are as follows Current Assets = 21360Current Liabilities 9800 = 2. 1786 Since the Current ratio is above 1, the business could have a higher possibility of continuing running with lower risk of failing in the business line. This shows that the business can continue to run and succeed in the future as the business holds a s mall amount of risk. Another way of find out whether or not the business the business is by the Acid-Test ratio which determines the ability of the business to pay all current liabilities if they came due immediately. The calculation is as followsCash + Short term investment + Net current receivables = 21360 Current liabilities 9800 = 2. 1786 Again, the Acid-test ratio indicates that the ratio of the business is above 1. This shows that the business does have the ability to pay all current liabilities if they came due immediately. This also shows that the business can run very smoothly and efficiently in the coming months and years to come and could be a good business to continue on investing and serving.The final way to determine whether or not the business should continue its operations after evaluating its first month of operation is by using the Debt symmetry. This calculation is done to determine the financial risk of the business. The calculation of the Debt Ratio is as foll ows Total liabilities = 9800 Total Assets 21360 = 0. 459 Since the Debt Ratio is below 1, the business shows a good ratio and record that if the business continues its operations, it has a low financial risk and can be a very good business to invest into.In conclusion, after analyzing all of the probabilities, and calculating all of the results of the businesss first month operations, we can conclude that the business of the Quail Creek Pet Kennel should be continued and can be a success in the future as all the facts shows a arbitrary outcome for the business. Conclusion From the first question, we can conclude that there are still many ways to improve the companies productivity even though the company is doing charitable work. As either a manager or an employee, the way of ethics have o be implemented in doing business of any sorts. A few of other companies or businesses have started to implement company policies of work ethics in order to improve the quality and efficiency as we ll as effectiveness of the work. To disregard company policy is unethical because it has the potential to harm the company and other employees of the company. An unethical behavior of an employee can ruin a companys reputation as well as credibility in the eyes of the stakeholders as well as potential investors, which could cause the company to stop operations.The business owners as well as their management teams can find a way to prevent their employees from making unethical decisions or behaviors in the company. From the final question, we can conclude that Quail Creek Pet Kennel has a higher possibility of continuing its operations. This is based on a thorough calculation of assets and liabilities of the business which has only been operating for 1 month and the results of the calculations done have shown positive outcomes for the business.This has made us conclude that the business has a very good potential of expanding in the future, and has a probability of opening more branch es nationwide and can project a very high success rate if the business continues its operations for the years to come. In conclusion, ethics for a business is not something that has to be put aside in any kind of business that we are operating. This also implies to charity work. Finally, a a charity-based business is not an excuse to not succeed in the business world as any kind of business can prove to be a success if we run it efficiently and effectively.
