WGU D459 AAN1 Task 1Latest Update with complete solution.

Key Events: • Wilde’s Bramble was doing very well at the local farmers' market, and word got around about their products, which attracted local shops and restaurants to buy their products • Due to an increase in demand for their products, the Wildes had to use money from their savings to get more land, more equipment, a new barn, and more power. • The Wildes began to depend on credit cards to help them with the cost of business and the price increase. • As a result of the credit card payment increase and their finance charges starting to pile up, the couple had to take out a second mortgage, and Calla was forced to find a job away from the farm to help get money. Patterns: • In the beginning, Wilde’s Bramble was successful with the increase in demand for their products. • They had to go into their savings to get more resources and equipment for their business. • The Wildes started having financial issues because they began to rely on credit cards to help with the price increase • The credit card payments increased, so Calla had to get work off the farm. Underlying structure: • The Wildes did not have enough money or management • They did not plan financially to help with the increase in demand. • They had limited ways of bringing in money and started relying on a credit card. A2: For case study 1, graph 2 shows the best representation of Wilde's Bramble Farm. Graph 2 shows that their profit and sales increased at first, while their debt remained low until they had to start relying on credit cards and had to take out a second mortgage. Their product sales continued to rise, but their debt began to increase due to a lack of resources to keep up with the demand for their products. With the cost of expansion piling up, the profit started to decrease due to rising debt.
