Which of the following would be the most or least seasonal businesses and therefore have the least or most cyclical cash flow: a. snow plowing; b. high school senior photography; c. cleaning and repairing lawn mowers, d. evening and weekend babysitting? Why?
What will be an ideal response?
Snow plowing is only needed in the winter months, so its cash flow would be highly cyclical; although some people might want their lawnmowers serviced during the winter when they don't use them, most people get lawn mowers repaired from early spring until late fall. Although senior class photos might be taken during the summer, when students have more time, most will be ordered well before the end of the school year, in time for the yearbook, so fall and winter would probably be the busiest times. Evening and weekend babysitting is needed all year around, so babysitting would be the least seasonal business.
