Smoking Questions

Questions
1. Why is an improving economy positively correlated with smoking rates?
More people are buying smokes, so the economy is making more money
2. What challenges do public health officials face as smoking expands globally?
They dont have enough money or the resources to tell and show people how bad smoking is for them so there are minimal regulations
3. The article says companies are starting aggressive efforts to "push smoking in countries where there had been relatively little effort to discourage it." Is it ethical for companies to increase their smoking advertising in developing countries? Why or why not?
No, it is not eithical because smoking is just as bad for people in countries where there has been little efforts to discourage it as in a country where there have huge efforts to discourage it.
4. Would you take a great paying job as an accountant for a cigarette company? why or why not.
Yes, becaure you are not dealing with tobacco, you are just dealing with the money. You dont promote sale and you are not distributing it you are just doing a job.
5. Research the history of cigarette advertising in the U.S. and comment at how the adds have changed over time. What types marketing was regulated by the government?(you could post some ad examples here)
When people first started using tobacco they thought it was a "cure all". People used it for dressing wounds and for easing pain, it was said to be good for you. There were lots of advertisement on what you could be, or how you could look if you used tobacco, but now trought out the years to come, people started to disccover the bad effects of tobacco on humans. Now people are fighting harded then ever to get rid of tobacco. The types of advertisement that is regulated by the government are ads that promote tobacco to minors.

Dear Mr. Sir

You asked me to comment on the health of your business. So first of all let me give you numbers.

Current Ratio: 05- 1.3:1, 04-1.34:1
Accounts Receivable Turn over Ratio: 05- 2.2%, 04-1.6%
Net Profit Ratio: 05-(-25.15), 04-5.54

Your Current Ratio's are adequate for both 05 and o4, but if the ratios get any higher I would recommend that you put some of your money into working captial. The Accounts Receivable Turn Over Ratio are both sufficient for 05 and 04 but dont let it get below 1.5% or you might not be able to cover current liabilty. As for your Net Profit Ratio 04 was a pretty good year but but 05 was very bad. I would recomend cutting all expenses possiable to try to make up for it.

Sincrely,

Laramie Baker
