The president of the retailer Prime Products has just approached the company’s bank with a request for a $93,000, 90-day loan. The purpose of the loan is to assist the company in acquiring inventories. Because the company has had some difficulty in paying off its loans in the past, the loan officer has asked for a cash budget to help determine whether the loan should be made. The following data are available for the months April through June, during which the loan will be used:

1. On April 1, the start of the loan period, the cash balance will be $36,000. Accounts receivable on April 1 will total $179,200, of which $153,600 will be collected during April and $20,480 will be collected during May. The remainder will be uncollectible.

2. Past experience shows that 30% of a month’s sales are collected in the month of sale, 60% in the month following sale, and 8% in the second month following sale. The other 2% is bad debts that are never collected. Budgeted sales and expenses for the three-month period follow:

3. Merchandise purchases are paid in full during the month following purchase. Accounts payable for merchandise purchases during March, which will be paid in April, total $162,500.

4. In preparing the cash budget, assume that the $93,000 loan will be made in April and repaid in June. Interest on the loan will total $1,280.

Required:

1. Calculate the expected cash collections for April, May, and June, and for the three months in total.

2. Prepare a cash budget, by month and in total, for the three-month period. (Cash deficiency, repayments and interest should be indicated by a minus sign.)

In a 2-3 page paper, complete the case below and submit to instructor. Review the income statement for Uden Supply Company and answer the following:

Describe the purpose of analytical procedures performed in the planning stage of the audit.
Uden Supply has projected its 2004 gross profit at 31% of sales despite expectation for some shrinkage in margins. On the basis of Uden's operating performance in years 2001 - 2003 project your best guess for 2004. Project 2004 based on the incremental changes for each line item over the last three years.
Uden’s unaudited financial statements for the current year show a 31 percent gross profit rate. Assuming that this represents a misstatement from the amount that you developed as an expectation, calculate the estimated effect of this misstatement on net income before taxes for 20X4.
Indicate whether you believe that the difference calculated in part (c) is material. Explain your answer. (50-100 words).

3. McCormick & Company is considering establishing new products in a new factory in Largo, Maryland. Theproject is expected to last for eight years. To determine the right financing option, you need to determine the appropriate discount based on the weighted average cost of capital. The cost of equity is estimated using the capital asset pricing model. Cash flows are assumed to be steady, the nominal risk-free rate for the short-term US government treasury bills is 1.5 percent, the 10-year government bonds rate is 2.5 percent, and the inflation rate is 2.54 percent. What is the real risk-free rate? Then, assume a beta of 1.2 and a market return of 5 percent. What is the cost of equity?

4. McCormick& Company is considering purchasing a new factory in Largo, Maryland. After you and your team have conducted an analysis of alternative investments and cost of capital, McCormick has decided that a risk premium of 13 percent is appropriate for the investment into a new factory. Adding the risk premium to the current risk-free rate of 7 percent, what is the minimum acceptable rate of return?

1.Liz is retiring from the US Postal Service and will turn 70 next year. After 39 years of service, her monthly pension is $7,500.  She does not qualify for Social Security.  Liz has accumulated $700,000 in her thrift savings plan.  The government requires that she convert it to an annuity or move it to a IRA.  All of the money is pretax and tax can be avoided if it is moved to the IRA.  The annuity will be calculated based on her life expectancy of 17.5 years after age 70. The current USTreasury long-term bond rate is 3 percent. How much will she get as an annuity monthly payment?  Should Liz take the annuity or move the money to the IRA? The tax regulations require that she take out 4 percent of the amount each year.

2. Kathy plans to move to Maryland and take a job at McCormick as the assistant director of HR. She and her husband, Stan, plan to buy a house in Garrison, MD, and their budget is $500,000.
