Skydiving – jumping out of an airplane with a parachute – is incredibly fun, but also dangerous.  The risk of dying in a skydiving accident is actually very small – for this problem, we will assume it is zero. However, there is a substantial risk of other injuries.

There are standard precautions a skydive operator can take – such as using more modern equipment, hiring experienced instructors, and taking extra care in packing the parachutes – to reduce this risk.  The cost of running a skydiving business is $150 per customer without these precautions; these precautions cost an additional $100 per customer and reduce the probability of injury from 1 in 100 to 1 in 300.  The average skydiving injury does $30,000 worth of harm to the customer.

There are five potential customers, each with one opportunity to skydive; the joy each one would get from skydiving is worth $500, $400, $300, $200, and $100, respectively. (That is, the most enthusiastic customer would get a benefit of $500, the second-most-enthusiastic $400, and so on.)

  1. What is the efficient level of precaution for skydive operators to take (high or low)?
  1. Given this precaution level, what is the efficient level of activity?  (That is, how many customers are there for whom the benefits of skydiving outweigh the total costs?)

Suppose there is perfect competitionin the skydiving industry – there are many skydive operators, with identical costs, so the price of skydiving is driven down to marginal cost plus expected liability payments (if any).

For parts (c)-(f), assume that customers correctly perceiveand consider the risk of injury when deciding whether to skydive, and can observe the level of precaution taken by each skydive operator.

  1. Under a rule of no liability, what level of precaution will operators take?  Why?
  1. Under perfect competition (assumed throughout this problem), what will be the price of skydiving?
  1. What will customers perceive as the total cost of skydiving?  How many customers will choose to skydive?
  1. Are precaution and activity higher, lower, or equal to the efficient levels?

For parts (g)-(j), assume instead that customers are unaware of the risk of injury, and completely ignore it when deciding whether or not to skydive – they simply weigh the financial price against the benefit. Continue to assume the skydiving industry is perfectly competitive.

  1. Under a rule of strict liability, what level of precaution will operators take?  What will be the price of skydiving?  How many customers will choose to skydive?
  1. Under a rule of simple negligence (where anything less than the efficient level of precaution is considered negligent), what level of precaution will operators take?  What will be the price of skydiving?  How many customers will choose to skydive?
  1. Under a rule of no liability, what level of precaution will operators take?  What will be the price of skydiving?  How many customers will choose to skydive?
  1. Which of these rules is the most efficient?

You can use any language. You have to provide all the data, output and input.

You are to use Linked Lists to do this Program.

The XYZ Widget store receives shipments of widgets at various costs. The store’s policy is to charge a 30% markup, and to sell widgets which were received earlier before widgets which were received later. This is called a FIFO policy.

Write a program using linked lists that reads in three types of input data and does the following:

A sales record which contains an “S” in column 1 and a quantity which represents the number of Widgets sold

A receipt record which contains an “R” in column 1 and a quantity and a price which represent the receipt of a quantity of widgets at the stated cost per widget.

A promotion card which contains a “P” in column 1 and a number such as 25 which would represent a 25% discount to the next 2 buying customers (the next 2 sales cards )

The program should

Print a message after each receipt record is read in with the price of the widgets received.

Print a message after each promotion card is read in with the amount of discount the next to customers will be receiving.

After a sales record is read in print a message stating the number sold and the price of each widget and total price of the order. For example if 200 widgets were sold and there were 50 widgets at $1.00 and 100 at $2.00 and 50 at $3.00 print (recall the 30% markup and the FIFO policy)

          200 Widgets sold

          50   at 1.30 each           Sales: $   65.00

          100 at 2.60 each          Sales: $ 260.00  

          50   at 3.90 each           Sales: $ 195.00

                               Total Sale:    $ 520.00

If there are an insufficient number of widgets in stock to fill an order sell as many as are available and then print

“ Remainder   of xxx   Widgets not available”

Do not forget the promotional discount.

At the end of the data before exiting the program print out under a separate heading the widgets still left in stock and their original purchase price.

CompUSA Inc. sells computer hardware. It also markets related software and software-support services. The company prepares annual forecasts for sales, of which the first six months of 2019 are given below.

In a typical month, total sales are broken down as follows: cash sales, 30%; VISA® credit card sales, 65%; and 5% open account (the company’s own charge accounts). For budgeting purposes, assume that cash sales plus bank credit card sales are received in the month of sale; bank credit card sales are subject to a 3% processing fee, which is deducted daily at the time of deposit into CompUSA’s cash account with the bank. Cash receipts from collection of accounts receivable typically occur as follows: 20% in the month of sale, 50% in the month following the month of sale, and 27% in the second month following the month of sale. The remaining receivables generally turn out to be uncollectible.

CompUSA’s month-end inventory requirements for computer hardware units are 30% of the following month’s estimated sales. A one-month lead time is required for delivery from the hardware distributor. Thus, orders for computer hardware units are generally placed by CompUSA on the 25th of each month to ensure availability in the store on the first day of the month needed. These units are purchased on credit, under the following terms: n/45, measured from the time the units are delivered to CompUSA. Assume that CompUSA takes the maximum amount of time to pay its invoices. On average, the purchase price for hardware units runs 60% of selling price.

Totals 670 $ 2,010,000 $ 845,000 $ 2,855,000

Required:

1. Calculate estimated cash receipts for April 2019.

2. The company is looking at the number of hardware units to order on January 25.

a. Determine the estimated number of units to be ordered.

b. Calculate the dollar cost (per unit and total) for these units.

3. Cash planning in this line of business is critical to success. Management feels that the assumption of selling price per unit ($3,000) is firm—at least for the foreseeable future. Also, it is comfortable with the 30% rate for end-of-month inventories. It is not so sure, however, about (a) the Cost of Goods Sold (CGS) rate (because of the state of flux in the supplier market) and (b) the level of predicted sales in March 2019. Discussions with marketing and purchasing suggest that three outcomes are possible for each of these two variables, as follows:

Outcome March Sales CGS%
Optimistic 100 units 55 %
Expected 90 units 60
Pessimistic 80 units 65

The preceding outcomes are assumed to be independent, which means that there are nine possible combinations (3 × 3). You are asked to conduct a sensitivity analysis to determine the range of possible cash outflows for April 10, under different combinations of the above. Assume, for simplicity, that sales volume for April is fixed. Complete the following table:

In: Accounting

"Consider the following bond: Coupon rate = 11% Maturity = 18 years Par value = $1,000...

"Consider the following bond: Coupon rate = 11% Maturity = 18 years Par value = $1,000 First par call in 13 years Only put date in five years and putable at par value Suppose that the market price for this bond is $1,169.

Show that the yield to maturity for this bond is 9.077%.

Show that the yield to first par call is 8.793%.

Show that the yield to put is 6.942%.

Suppose that the call schedule for this bond is as follows: Can be called in eight years at $1,055 Can be called in 13 years at $1,000

And suppose this bond can only be put in five years and assume that the yield to first par call is 8.535%. What is the yield to worst for this bond?"

Case #5: DJ John and his business of "Music on Wheels"

John has started his second year of the BAS at York University. John was not interested in working for others so he decided to start his own business with what is his passion: be a DJ in parties. A family friend that works as a lending officer in one of Canada's largest banks explained to him how the business plan has to be presented so he can get some financing.

On January 1st 2017 John decided to set up a company to formalize his DJ services he has been providing during last year on an informal and sporadic basis. On January 3rd he submitted the business plan to the bank asking for a start up loan of $25,000. On January 5th John sets up his company: Music on Wheels Ltd with a capital of 30,000 shares valued at $1 each. A lawyer produced all the needed paperwork.

On January 6th John opens a bank account under the name of Music on Wheels and on January 7th John transfers ownership of his van to the company. The van has a fair market value of $5,000 and is estimated to last for 50 months and then discarded. On the same day John signs the insurance contract for the van and the music equipment that is about to purchase. The insurance premium for the van is $2,400 per year and for the equipment is $1,200 per year.

On January 10th John deposited $15,000 of his personal savings in the newly opened chequing account of his company. On the same day the bank loan is approved and $25,000 is deposited in the bank account.

The following is a list of transactions that occurred during the first month of operations of "Music on Wheels":

January 11th Completed the purchase of upgraded music equipment for $18,000; also $700 worth of music files were purchased from the same shop. 50% was paid in cash, the other 50% will be paid in 30 days. The music equipment will be used during 24 months with no resale value at the end, while the music files are expensed immediately as music hits have a short life.

January 12th Great start of business being the DJ of a fundraising event of a large international charity. Got a cheque of $1,000 for his services and $2,000 in account to be collected on Jan 31st.

January 14th Paid a local radio $3,000 for 90 days of advertising starting on January 15th.

January 19th Provided the music for two small events. One promised to pay the $300 of Feb 7th, while the other will pay the $300 by the end of January.

January 20th Hired a car painter to freshen up the look of the van he uses to transport the equipment (this will not change the value or the useful life of the van). The work is completed in 2 days (Jan 21st and 22nd). John paid $200 on January 20th and promised to pay the rest ($700) on Feb 20th.

January 20th Provided services in an afternoon event at a local church. John collected $200 for all his services.

January 20th Paid $600 of insurance for the months of January and February ($300 for each month).

January 23rd Paid for gasoline on the van for $80. Also did an oil change and changed the wipes for a total of $100 that included labour and tax.

January 24th Ordered 200 personal cards and 100 brochures. Total cost $300.

January 26th One big event was serviced. The bill of $2,000 was paid 50% before the beginning of the event and the rest in 30 days.

January 27th Small event was serviced collecting $300 in cash for all fees at the end of the event.

January 28th Purchased in account music files with the last hits for $90.

January 29th Received the bill from the lawyer that helped him to set up the company for $1,800 payable by February 15th.

January 30th Received a deposit of $1,000 for servicing a wedding in March. The bride wanted to reserve the date and make sure her party will be the only one that night for Music on Wheels.

January 30th Collected the cards and brochures and paid the total. In two days, Jan 30th and 31st, he has distributed 50 personal cards and 25 brochures.

January 31st Collected $2,000 from the event on January 12th and got a phone call indicating the $300 owed for the January 19th event will be paid sometime in February.
