CASE STUDY USING EXCEL SPREADSHEET You work for Theo Walcott Tours Ltd which provide tourists and visitors with ‘experiences’ of Perth and its surrounds. Your manager is currently investigating introducing another product, which are ‘Luxury’ helicopter rides over beautiful bushland. Each trip would be 50km in total. Your manager wants you to use cost-volume-profit analysis in order to help assess the plan’s feasibility. She provides you with the following estimated data: Selling price per trip: $600 (total for 3 customers – trips only run with 3 customers) Costs: Fuel: $50 per trip Walcott ‘goodie bag’ per customer: $40 Helicopter rental per month: $20,000 Insurance per month (unlimited trips): $1,000 Pilot costs: $5,000 per month plus $100 per trip Maintenance costs are difficult to estimate but data from a similar company in a different location shows that these monthly costs were $11,000 when 5,000 kms were flown and $5000 when 1,500 kms were flown. ACCM 4100 Management Accounting 1 Trimester 2, 2020: Individual Excel Assignment REQUIRED: Calculate the following: 1) The Break-even point in trips per month 2) The Break-even point in dollars of revenue per month 3) Assuming a profit after tax requirement from the Helicopter trip business of $120,000 per year and a tax rate of 30%, calculate: a) Trips required per month to obtain target profit b) Revenue required per month to obtain target profit Your manager has requested that the spreadsheet is easy to use for ‘What-if’ analysis – so she would like to be able to change some of the inputs to see the impact on the calculations above – for example, if the Helicopter were able to be rented more cheaply or the selling price was increased.

This week, let's talk about investments andinvestment risk. In class with you today are individuals with various experience in investing - some may be seasoned professionals, while others may have very little experience. Either case is perfect okay because we all approach investing, risk, and return differently.

When you invest your money, you have to consider a basic risk-return tradeoff. The risk-return tradeoff is the balance between the desire for the lowest possible risk and the highest possible returns. In general, low levels of uncertainty (low risk) are associated with low potential returns and high levels of uncertainty (high risk) are associated with high potential returns (link).

  1. Describe three factors that influence your evaluation of the risk of an investment
  2. What factors influence risk tolerance?
  3. How does diversification positively and negatively affect risk?
  4. What type of investor would invest in a high beta stock and a low beta stock?
