In Java, how can I convert a string user input for example a student starts a uni degree in "Winter/2022", to a date type, and then once I have done that, add 3 years to that value, and changing the season, so for example Student Started: Winter/2022 and Student Finished: Summer/2025. Is there any possible way to do this?

Thank you.

Exercise 8-16 Direct Materials and Direct Labor Budgets [LO8-4, LO8-5]

The production department of Zan Corporation has submitted the following forecast of units to be produced by quarter for the upcoming fiscal year:

In addition, 6,000 grams of raw materials inventory is on hand at the start of the 1st Quarter and the beginning accounts payable for the 1st Quarter is $2,880.

Each unit requires 8 grams of raw material that costs $1.20 per gram. Management desires to end each quarter with an inventory of raw materials equal to 25% of the following quarter’s production needs. The desired ending inventory for the 4th Quarter is 8,000 grams. Management plans to pay for 60% of raw material purchases in the quarter acquired and 40% in the following quarter. Each unit requires 0.20 direct labor-hours and direct laborers are paid $11.50 per hour.

Required:

1.&2. Calculate the estimated grams of raw material that need to be purchased and the cost of raw material purchases for each quarter and for the year as a whole.

3. Calculate the expected cash disbursements for purchases of materials for each quarter and for the year as a whole.

4. Calculate the estimated direct labor cost for each quarter and for the year as a whole.

Cash Receipts Budget and Accounts Receivable Aging Schedule Shalimar Company manufactures and sells industrial products. For next year, Shalimar has budgeted the following sales: Quarter 1 $4,690,000 Quarter 2 5,680,000 Quarter 3 1,820,000 Quarter 4 8,580,000 In Shalimar’s experience, 10 percent of sales are paid in cash. Of the sales on account, 65 percent are collected in the quarter of sale, 25 percent are collected in the quarter following the sale, and 7 percent are collected in the second quarter after the sale. The remaining 3 percent are never collected. Total sales for the third quarter of the current year are $5,100,000 and for the fourth quarter of the current year are $7,460,000. Required: 1. Calculate cash sales and credit sales expected in the last two quarters of the current year, and in each quarter of next year.

Construct a cash receipts budget for Shalimar Company for each quarter of the next year, showing the cash sales and the cash collections from credit sales. If an amount is zero, enter "0".

What if the recession led Shalimar’s top management to assume that in the next year 10 percent of credit sales would never be collected? The expected payment percentages in the quarter of sale and the quarter after sale are assumed to be the same. How would that affect cash received in each quarter? Construct a revised cash budget using the new assumption.
