Using the following information based on expected sales to forecast the monthly cash collections, accounts receivable balance, monthly cash disbursements, net cash flows, and cash surplus / deficit at the end of each month in the third quarter of 2018 (July - September 2018). Do not allow your firm to have a cash balance below the minimum cash balance and only borrow what you need.
a. In June 2018 credit sales were $50,000.
b. The firm’s total sales in 2017 were $1,825,000. The firm's accounts receivable balance on December 31, 2016 was $45,000. The firm's accounts receivable balance on December 31, 2017 was $75,000.
c. Accounts payable are 50% of sales
d. Operating expenses are 15% of sales
e. The firm plans to purchase equipment in July costing $250,000.
f. Beginning Cash Balance = $25,000
g. Minimum Cash Balance = $5,000
h. Assume there is an annual interest rate of 18% on short term debt and that the firm starts with no short term borrowing.
i. Sales are expected to be $60,000 for July 2018, $400,000 for August 2018, and $100,000 for September 2018.

create T-accounts and balance sheet for the following question (this is one of several transactions)
First quarter of 2017: The firm (1) sells the 200 standard mugs in inventory to a customer who pays cash and picks up the mugs from the firm’s storage area and (2) receives an order for 8000 standard mugs. The supplier agrees to produce the mugs and ship directly to the customer; the firm agrees to pay the shipping cost ($390 for 8,000 mugs) to the supplier. The mugs are delivered; the firm pays the supplier the amount owed in cash and the customer pays the firm in cash.
Supplier charges for mugs:
1-2000 mugs: $2
2000-6000 mugs: $1.50
6000+ mugs: $.95

General Motors (GM) is buying some parts from a European
factory. Specifically, GM has ordered 2000 engines to put in
Chevrolet Silverado pickup trucks it plans to produce at its US
assembly plants. Each pickup truck engine is priced at 2500 EUR and
GM will pay the European factory for the 2000 engines in 2 months.
The current spot rate is 1 USD/EUR and the two-month forward rate
$1.1 USD/EUR.
Is this foreign exchange rate exposure best described as
transaction, translation or operating exposure for GM? Why? How can
GM hedge this exposure to foreign exchange risk? Explain why the
strategy works

Dr. McDonald thinks that his group of earth science students is particularly special (in a good way), and he is interested in knowing if their class average falls within the boundaries of the average score for the larger group of students who have taken earth science over the past 20 years. Because he has kept good records, he knows the means and standard deviations for both his group of 24 students and the larger group of 2000 past enrollees. Here are the data he has, and the values for which you will need to compute the z-test.

The Individual can also buy partial insurance with i. a $200 deductible, or ii. 75% coinsurance, or iii. Upper limit on coverage, with the limit being $1000. The premium on each partial coverage policy is $450. Provide a ranking of the four types of policies for the individual, in terms of preference if the preference function is given by U(FW) = LN(1+FW), where FW is final wealth of the individual.

Top Toys is planning a new radio and TV advertising campaign. A radio commerical costs $300 and a TV ad costs $2000. A total budget of $20,000 is allocated to the campaign. However, to ensure that each medium will have at least one radio commercial and one TV ad, the most that can be allocated to either medium cannot exceed 80% of the total budget. It is estimated that the first radio commerical will reach 5000 people, with each additional commercial reaching only 2000 more people. For TV, the first ad will reach 4500 people, and each additional ad an additional 3000 people. How should the budgeted amount be allocated between radio and TV?

Prior to the 1999-2000 season in the NBA, the league made several rule changes designed to increase scoring. The average number of points scored per game in the previous season had been 183.2. Let μ denote the mean number of points per game in the 1999-2000 NBA season.
a. If the rule change had no effect on scoring, what value would μ have? Is this the null or alternative hypothesis?
b. If the rule change had the desired effect on scoring, what would be true about the value of μ? Is this a null or alternate hypothesis?
c. Based on your answers to part a and b clearly sate Hoand Ha using the proper notation.
