Report on Supermarket Survey
To: Managing Director
Introduction
I have carried out market research on a variety of people, about what
supermarkets they prefer to shop at, why, and what extras of the
supermarket they use. I asked 10 people who live in different areas of
the country in my questionnaire: I asked 6 Females and 4 males. 1 of
them was aged between 20 and 30, 3 people were aged between 30 and 40,
4 of them were aged between 40 and 50, 1 person was aged between 50
and 60 and 1 person was over 80.
Field Research
The first and second question I asked were about gender and age.

The third question I asked was how many times they visited a
supermarket per week. 2 people said 1 time a week, 6 people said 2
times a week and 2 people said that they went 3 times a week.
Next, I asked the question, "Which supermarket do you shop at most?"
The response was fairly mixed. Tesco was the most popular supermarket
with 5 people out of 10 choosing to shop there the most. 2 people
chose Sainsbury's, 1 person chose each of Asda, Booths, and Aldi.

I think that Tesco was the most popular supermarket because it is the
nearest one to where I live. I asked the questionnaire to people who
live near me.
This shows that Tesco is the most popular supermarket. The smaller
supermarkets like Netto and Kwiksave were unpopular among my
respondents.
The next question I posed was "How much do you spend at supermarkets
each week?" The response was mixed. 2 people said they spent £0-£50, 4
people said they spent £50-£100, 3 people said they spent £100-£150
and 1 person said they £150-£200. This question could be related to
how much people earn, because the more people earn the more they may
spend at supermarkets.

This shows that most people spend between £50-£100 each week at a
Analyzing Wal-Mart's annual report provides a positive outlook on Wal-Mart's financial health. Given the specific ratios and its comparison to other companies in the same industry, Wal-Mart is leading and more than likely continue its dominance. Though Wal-Mart did not lead in all numbers, its leadership and strong presence of the market cements the ongoing success. The review of the current ratio, quick ratio, inventory turnover ratio, debt ratio, net profit margin ratio, ROI, ROE, and P/E ratio all indicate an upbeat future for the company. The current ratio, which is defined as current assets divided by current liabilities, is a measure of how much liabilities a company has compared to its assets. Wal-Mart in the year of 2007 had a current ratio of .90, and as of January 2008 it had a current ratio of .81. The quick ratio, which is defined as current assets minus inventory divided by current liabilities, is a measure of a company's ability pay short term obligations. Wal-Mart in the year of 2007 had a quick ratio of .25, and as of January 2008 it had a ratio of .21. Both the current ratio and quick ratio are a measure of liquidity. Wal-Mart is not as liquid as its competitors such as Costco or Family Dollar Stores Inc. I believe the reason why Wal-Mart is not too liquid is because they are heavily investing their profits for expansion and growth. Management claims in their financial report that holding their liquid reserves in other currencies have helped Wal-Mart hedge against inflationary pressures of the US dollar. The next ratio to look at is the inventory ratio which is defined as the cost of sales divided by average inventory. In the year of 2007, Wal-Mart’s inventory ratio was 7.68, and as of January 2008 it was 7.96. Wal-Mart has a lot of sales therefore it doesn’t have too much a problem of holding too much inventory. Its competitors have similar ratios though they don’t have as much sales as Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart’s ability to sell at lower prices for same quality, gives them the edge against its competition. As of the year 2007, Wal-Mart had a debt ratio of .58, and as of January 2008, it had a debt ratio of .59. The debt ratio is calculated by dividing the total debt by its total assets. Wal-Mart has a lot more assets than it does debt so Wal-Mart is not overleveraged.
Publix. Where Shopping is a Pleasure. In the good United States, people love to eat. Not to say these individuals are not appreciative, but many citizens tend to indulge and appear to take their privileged resources for granted. After all, this country offers a plethora of retail choices ranging from farmer’s markets, meat markets, and neighborhood bodegas (a.k.a.

For this assignment, I decided to go to a grocery store by my house named Meijer. Meijer is just like any other grocery store, similar to Wal-Mart, yet higher quality products than Wal-Mart.

Like other convenience stores around the East Vancouver area, Best Foods Grocery is experiencing a serious problem with petty thefts and crimes. This has been cited as a problem and the lack of security needs to be addressed. Currently, Best Foods Grocery does not have a good functioning security camera system throughout the store. The store needs to update its camera system to have a decrease in crime and better understanding of who commits them. Best foods Grocery does not have the necessary resources installed to achieve a higher level of security within the store, but can be implemented to increase security. Security is an important part of a business everyday responsibilities to its staff and customers. Many small stores

Throughout my duration at the grocery store, I compared quite a few items that are generally kept in my pantry and refrigerator with items that are much healthier in comparison. I equated the list of Ingredients and Nutritional Facts between certain items. In a realization, I concluded that a majority of the food that is kept in my home are not as healthy as I had anticipated.
The observation began on Thursday 5 November 2015 at 7:45 am, and the professor is already here. Three other students are in the class also; they are always the first three. Walter and two young ladies. I only remember Walters name because of his slow drawl and dreaded hair. The other two ladies sit in the third row together always, yet they never really talk to each other. They are consumed with their cellphones. The class officially starts at 8:00 am, and people begin to show up.

Tony, Abdul, and Shin are studying together for Science. They are all pretty good students and usually get A’s or B’s on their work. They complete the homework assignment together, having a good discussion and sharing lots of ideas. They each record the answers to the homework questions and write the exact same thing. Each person turns in their own copy of the assignment.
