a. Once a firm has defined its purpose, scope, and objectives, it must
develop a strategy or strategies for achieving its goals. The
statement of corporate strategies sets forth detailed plans rather
than broad approaches for achieving a firm's goals.
b. A firm’s corporate purpose states the general philosophy of the
business and provides managers with specific operational objectives.
c. Operating plans provide management with detailed implementation
guidance, consistent with the corporate strategy, to help meet the
corporate objectives. These operating plans can be developed for
any time horizon, but many companies use a 5-year horizon.
d. A firm’s mission statement defines its lines of business and
geographic area of operations.
e. The corporate scope is a condensed version of the entire set of
strategic plans.

a. When we use the AFN equation, we assume that the ratios of assets
and liabilities to sales (A0*/S0 and L0*/S0) vary from year to year in
a stable, predictable manner.
b. When fixed assets are added in large, discrete units as a company
grows, the assumption of constant ratios is more appropriate than if
assets are relatively small and can be added in small increments as
sales grow.
c. Firms whose fixed assets are “lumpy” frequently have excess
capacity, and this should be accounted for in the financial
forecasting process.
d. For a firm that uses lumpy assets, it is impossible to have small
increases in sales without expanding fixed assets.
e. There are economies of scale in the use of many kinds of assets.
When economies occur the ratios are likely to remain constant over
time as the size of the firm increases. The Economic Ordering
Quantity model for establishing inventory levels demonstrates this
relationship.

The young males after the autumnal moult, and until the middle of
summer, resemble the females.
An adult male obtained near Boston examined. The heart is 2 inches
long; the lobes of the liver are nearly equal, the right being 3 inches
7 twelfths long, the left 3 inches 3 twelfths.
The upper mandible has about 28 recurved conical, acute, horny
papillæ, and an internal series of smaller, on each side; the tip of the
unguis serrulate; on the lower mandible are about 40 of the same
nature. The tongue is 2 inches 1 twelfth long, fleshy, emarginate, and
papillate at the base, tapering, with a double row of slender reversed
papillæ along the upper surface, and two lateral series of filaments
on each side; the tip lacerated, horny on the back. Posterior nasal
aperture oblong, 10 twelfths in length, papillate on the edges.
Aperture of the glottis 4 1/2 twelfths long. The mouth is 10 twelfths in
breadth, but may be extended to 1 inch 9 twelfths. The œsophagus
is 10 1/2 inches long, its diameter 1 inch 7 twelfths on the neck,
contracting to 8 twelfths as it enters the thorax, but again expanding;
the external coat of transverse muscular fibres very thick; the internal
layer of longitudinal fibres very distinct; the mucous coat thrown into
prominent longitudinal plaits when contracted; the mucous follicles
disposed in longitudinal single series. The proventriculus is 2 inches
long, the glandules very numerous, oblong, about 2 twelfths in
length, forming a complete belt. The stomach is a strong gizzard, of
moderate size, 2 inches long, the lateral muscles 5 twelfths thick; the
epithelium very thick, nearly 1 twelfth, longitudinally rugous. In the
stomach and gullet was a fish 9 inches long, the portions lying in the
stomach and proventriculus partially dissolved, the rest 4 inches
long, not acted upon; there were also two fragments of quartz, one of
them a quarter of an inch long. The intestine is long, measuring 6
feet 3 inches, its diameter from 5 to 3 twelfths. The cœca are 2
inches long, for half an inch 1 1/2 twelfth in diameter, in the rest of
their extent 4 twelfths. The rectum 5 inches long, including the
cloaca, which has a diameter of an inch and a quarter.
The trachea, 10 1/2 inches long, has at first a diameter of 4 twelfths,
dilates gradually to 8 twelfths, then contracts to 4 twelfths, enlarges a
second time to 7 twelfths, and gradually contracts to 3 twelfths. In
this space the rings, 146, are strong, broad, and osseous. At its
lower part is an enormous dilatation composed of numerous united
rings, bulging irregularly on the right side and behind, and on the left
expanded into a case having two large spaces filled by membrane;
the greatest diameter of this tympanum is 2 inches and 2 twelfths.
The bronchi come off at the distance of nearly an inch from each
other, and are short, but wide, with about 25 half-rings. The lateral or
contractor muscles are very strong, give off a pair of cleido-tracheals
from the second enlargement, and at the commencement of the
labyrinth the sterno-tracheals, which are also very large; but there
are no other inferior laryngeal muscles.
The intestine of a male in the first winter is 6 feet 8 inches long, its
greatest diameter half an inch, wider towards the rectum than at the
upper part, where the diameter is 4 twelfths. Rectum 4 1/2 inches
long, exclusive of the cloaca. Cœca 2 1/4 inches. Contents of
stomach, remains of fishes and a great quantity of quartz fragments.
