company?
B. Reliance Chemicals Inc had targeted revenue of $ 95000 from their chemical segment for

Information need from Case 3 for the year end December 31, 2007 need for this question.

Total sales revenue: $639,111

Food operations sales revenue: $458,602 and Beverage operations sales revenue: $180,509

Average check for food and beverages: $9.59 Average check for food: $6.88 Average check for beverages: $2.71

In the case at the end of Chapter 3, you calculated the average food and beverage check for the 4C Company’s 84-seat restaurant in Year 2004. The restaurant was open for 52 weeks, 6 days a week for lunch, and 5 days a week for dinner. An analysis of sales checks indicated that the average turnover was 1.5 times for lunch and 1.25 times for dinner. Lunch contributes about 45 percent of total sales revenue and dinner, 55 percent. Total beverage sales revenue is 20 percent at lunch and 80 percent at dinner. a. Calculate the average lunch and average dinner checks for food and beverages.

This is how I think you solve the question. Is this correct?

Ave Lunch Check = (45% * $639,111) / (84 seats * 1.5 * 312days) = $7.3158 then of this $7.3158, 20% is from beverage sales and 80% is from food sales therefore:

Average lunch beverage check = $7.3158 * .2 = $1.46

Average lunch food check = $7.3158 * .8 = $5.85

Ave Dinner check = (55% * $639,111) / (84 seats * 1.25 * 260days) = $12.87586 then of this $12.87586, 80% is from beverage sales and 20% is from food sales therefore:

Average dinner beverage check = $12.87586 * .8 = $10.30

Average lunch food check = $12.87586 * .2 = $2.57

Background

Getswift Ltd (“Getswift”) is a newly listed company involved that provides a software distribution solution. The board has heard that a new revenue standard has been issued and as none of the board has a financial background, they are unsure what it means for them. They have heard though that the impact of the new standard on most businesses will be significant.

As a result, they have engaged your consultancy firm to provide them with a letter of advice to explain the impact that the new standard will have on the income recognition of Getswift.

REQUIRED

You are required to provide a letter of advice to the board of Getswift explaining the requirements of the new revenue standard with a focus on how it will impact their particular revenue recognition.  

In addition, you are required to write a short transmittal email enclosing the letter of advice.  

Important Additional Information

You are expected to research this company and gain an understanding of what they do so that you understand the nature of their revenue. The 2016/2017 annual report should be used as a starting point but you are expected to go further than this.

This assessment requires much more than copying the requirements from the new standard and those students that just do this will be marked poorly. The majority of the marks will be for the application of the standard to Getswift’s revenue sources. Therefore, you need an understanding of what they do.

The language of your letter of advice should be tailored to the audience and their level of financial literacy.

Required Format and additional requirements

You are required to produce:

1. A transmittal email to the Board

2. A Letter of Advice, addressed to the Board, which includes references

  1. Calculate the seasonal indices for each quarter in order to measure seasonal variation.     Also, include the Trend Line Equation. (Hint:   Because the regression line yt = β0 + β1t    represents trend, it follows that the time series divided by the predicted values produces ytyt = St X Rtà seasonal & random variation.   And, because there is no cyclical effect, use this method to compute seasonal indices.)

  1. What can you infer from the Seasonal Indices?

  1. Deseasonalize the occupancy rates and assess.   (Hint:   Graphically compare the original and adjusted data sets.   Accordingly, provide data-supported inference/s.)

  1. Forecast each quarter’s occupancy rate for 2000.

  1. As an alternative to calculating and using seasonal indices to measure seasonal variations, indicator variables can be used in a multiple regression model.   Accordingly, use indicator variables and regression analysis to forecast hotel occupancy in 2000.   How does this compare to the forecast produced by using seasonal indices?
