Cash Receipts Budget and Accounts Receivable Aging Schedule

Shalimar Company manufactures and sells industrial products. For next year, Shalimar has budgeted the following sales:

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 $5,220,000 and for the fourth quarter of the current year are $7,530,000.

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.

2. 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".

3. 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.

Let us consider the case of John, an entrepreneur and the CEO of a startup, named “Home Service”. The company started a small scale service where a couple of signed-up workers of the company were giving various services to the dweller of Ballarat, a city in Victoria. The services include plumbing, electric works, gas appliances’ works, and car wash. The people are Ballarat dwellers (roughly 20k in total) needed to download the software from App Store/Google Store and try to find someone in Ballarat who can provide the required service. They post a job in the app with estimated pricing, and then the interested workers pick the task. Then they go after a couple of rounds of message exchange through the app to understand the weight of the work and they finalize the total costing for that. The app then takes a service charge for the task, while the workers receive the remaining money. The business got tremendous popularity among the inhabitant of the city while people from other cities were also looking for services. Currently, John’s system is receiving around 10 requests per hour for various services.

As mentioned above, due to selecting only one city and a fixed number of services, John’s current system is like a simple computer where he deployed all his codes. To be more specific, the webserver, backend API codes, and a database server are installed in one virtual machine (VM) in the cloud, while the mobile apps are deployed in the Apple store and Google store.

John has decided to extend his business by outspreading the service area to all over Australians and to incorporate more services like catering, food delivery, carpet cleaning, gardening, and many more. To incorporate the above requirements, John’s current platform (i.e., one VM with everything installed in that VM) is not capable of meeting the future requirements.

You are hired by John to extend his current platform to a distributed system so that your proposed system will be capable to deal with millions of users, thousands of workers, hundreds of services, and thousands of requests per hour to the system.

You have to propose a new distributed system so that it can cope with future demand. You are not required to draw any diagram, rather you should mention how many (roughly) new VM, Database servers/Web servers are required to deploy. Most importantly, you have to discuss thoroughly how your PROPOSED system takes the advantages of a distributed system (i.e., Resource sharing, sharing of hardware and software, Openness, Concurrency, Scalability, Fault tolerance, Transparency).

Referring to the Article Below only write a short essay (around 500 to 600 words) discussing in detail some of the issue related to managing social responsibility. The issue and discussion must be relevant to the textbook theory.

CSR SHOULD BEGIN AT THE BUSINESS PREMISES!

Charity, it is said, “begins at home”. Basically, philanthropy, personal or corporate, should look at the concerns of near and dear before embarking on a wider social or global purpose. There was a time when the notion “business of business is business”, was strictly adhered to, and the firm was established “to maximise profit”. Shareholder interest superseded all other objectives, which were either ignored or side lined. The situation is drastically different under the concept of corporate social responsibility (CSR), which has become an important business consideration now. A business is not a stand-alone, isolated unit, independent of the ecosystems that provide direct and indirect sustenance and nourishment for its sustainability. Businesses can thrive only when they address and meet their varied and diverse obligations to stakeholders, in addition to profit to shareholders. These other obligations are now equally important if not more, to the profit motive. Under a regime of increased statutory and ethical governance, general consumer activism and stakeholder engagement, businesses are often forced to comply with standards and norms that have become part and parcel of normal business conduct. Many business organisations have gone beyond statutory compliance and have self-instituted measures to align with the broader issues of society and the nation. Thus, elements of corporate consciousness have crept into business strategies and policies. Corporations attempt to make CSR an integral part of their corporate personality and philosophy. They embrace responsibility for corporate actions and encourage positive impact on every area of direct involvement such as customers, employees and investors. In addition, the corporation’s sense of responsibility towards the community and environment are given equal importance. By this caring and sharing approach, exploitative tendencies that once ruled businesses, were eradicated by the introduction of safeguards, both legal and ethical. This concept, which is now universally adopted provides a balance between the vested interests of the business and those of society. From another perspective, the CSR in practice has helped to ensure safe and reliable products and services, secure employment and benefits to the work force and social needs. CSR, at times portray donations to high profile and glamorous activities. However, serving customers with services, and fair wages and salaries for the work force should be considered a priority. Like the saying, “charity begins at home”, CSR should first look at its own internal welfare mechanisms. An exercise in CSR rich in public relations, to the neglect of its own employees and other stakeholders in business, will be a façade

Create a new Java project named Program 4 Three Dimensional Shapes. In this project, create a package named threeDimensional and put all 3 of the classes discussed below in this package

Include a header comment to EACH OF your files, as indicated in your instructions. Here's a link describing the header. Note that headers are not meant to be in Javadoc format.

Note that Javadoc is a huge part of your grade for this assignment. Javadoc requires that every class, every field, every constructor, and every method have a general (useful) comment and all relevant tags. This includes @param tags for methods and constructors and @param and @return tags for methods.

1. Create a Cube class with the following:
   1. 1 data member: an integer named lengthOfSide
   2. 2 constructors: a no-argument constructor that set lengthOfSide to 1 and one that takes lengthOfSide as an argument
   3. A getter and a setter for lengthOfSide
   4. A toString() method for Cube that simply returns the string "Cube: [lengthOfSide]"
   5. A getSurfaceArea() method that returns the surface area of this cube.
   6. A getVolume() method that returns the volume of this cube.
   7. Make sure to Javadoc EVERYTHING!
2. Create a Sphere class that has everything that the cube class has except:
   1. Instead of lengthOfSide, Sphere has radius.
   2. Note that if you choose to copy and paste, nearly everything will change because of radius
   3. Make sure to Javadoc EVERYTHING! This means that if you copy and paste from Cube, there should be no mention of Cube or lengthOfSide in the javadoc.
3. Create a third class named Program4 which has a main method. It should make use of Cube and Sphere to do the following:
   1. Create a Scanner named scanner off of standard input.
   2. Create a Cube named firstCube and use the default (no-argument) constructor to populate the reference
   3. Print out firstCube
   4. Prompt the user with "Please enter the length of the side for firstCube: "
   5. Read in the next integer and use it to set the length of the side of firstCube. DO NOT USE A CONSTRUCTOR.
   6. Make new Cubes named secondCube and thirdCube with sides equal to 8 and 3 respectively
   7. Make a new integer named accessorValue and have it store the getter value for firstCube.
   8. Output "First Cube side length: ", "Second Cube surface area: ", and "Third Cube volume: " along with their values (use accessorValue for First Cube)
   9. Output all three Cubes in order along with the labels "First Cube: ", "Second Cube: ", and "Third Cube: " in the appropriate places. Then print out a new line
   10. Repeat steps 1-9 above for Spheres. All variable names, all prompts, and all outputs should make sense.
   11. Remember to Javadoc Program4 and the main method!

Questions from the book Cat’s Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut.

Cat’s Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut

- In this novel a scientist discovers a new form of solid H2O that is stable at room temperature.

- When a small crystal of this substance is introduced into the ocean it solidifies leading to the end of life on earth.

- The substance is known as Ice-9

Excerpt from the Book

- I closed my eyes

- There was a sound like that of a gentle closing of a portal as big as the sky, the great doors of heaven being softly closed

- It was a great AH-WHOOM.

- I opened my eyes and all the sea was ice-nine

- The moist green earth was a blue white pearl

- The sky darkened. Borassi, the sun, became a sickly yellow ball, tiny and cruel.

- The sky was filled with worms. The worms were tornadoes.

Properties of Ice-9

- Crystalline solid

- Molecules of H2O organized differently than normal H2O

- Melting point is 45.8oC

- A small crystal causes the entire ocean to solidify.

Questions

1. Based on the information given, will ΔGo for the formation of ice-9 from liquid water be (+) or (-)? Explain how you know.

2. Will the entropy, So, for the system increase or decrease for this process? Explain how you know.

3. Based on your answers above, will the enthalpy change, ΔHo be (+) or (-) for the process. Write an equation to support your answer.

4. In the story, the author doesn’t mention any temperature change. Based on your answers above, how would the temperature change in the system? In the surroundings?

5. Does ice-9 have stronger or weaker intermolecular interactions than regular ice? How do you know?

6. Given that the melting point of ice-9 is much higher than that of regular ice, will the ΔHo for the conversion of water to ice-9 be more positive or more negative than the ΔHo for the conversion of water to regular ice? H2O(l) → Ice-9(s)

Calculations

7. If 1.00 mol of water at 0oC were converted to ice-9 what is the minimum quantity of heat that would be released? (The enthalpy of fusion for regular ice is 6.01 kJ/mol)

8. Imagine 1.00 mol of water being converted to ice-9 in an insulated container. Liquid water has a heat capacity of 4.184 J/goC. Make the assumption that ice-9 would not have a heat capacity of more than liquid water. Calculate the temperature change that would have to result from the conversion of 1.00 mol of liquid water at 0oC to ice-9 in an insulated container.

Thank You.

For the past 2 or 3 years, Donna has always had fasting blood sugar levels in the 100-120 mg/dL range. When she presents in your clinic however, her fasting blood sugar is 137 mg/dL and her hemoglobin A1c is 8.3%. Donna’s 24-hr recall includes:

Breakfast: English muffin with 2 t. butter, 1 slice American cheese, 1 Jimmy Dean sausage patty, 20 oz. water

Snack: 1 large (4x4”) brownie

Lunch: chicken salad sandwich on 2 slices wheat bread with lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise, 1 oz. BBQ chips, 12 oz. orange soda

Dinner: Lean Cuisine Alfredo Pasta with Chicken & Broccoli, 16 oz. sweet tea

Snack: 2 c. chocolate Haagen-Dazs ice cream

Donna is 58 years old, does not have a history of diabetes, is 5’2” and weighs 165#, and she is on medication for hypertension. She says she has tried to lose weight many times in the past and often has success, but she always gains it back. She reports that she eats a “fairly healthy” diet but just loves to bake and often indulges in sweets. She does not know much about diabetes, except that it requires you to give yourself shots—and she hates needles, saying “Don’t expect me to give myself a shot!”

What can you tell Donna about her current and past diabetes status? What lab values helped you to determine that, and what are the relevant cut-points? Describe some risk factors that Donna exhibits for developing diabetes.

If Donna’s hemoglobin A1c is 8.3%, what is her average blood sugar? How did you figure this out? How does that compare to her fasting blood sugar, and why is it different or similar?

Donna is so scared of needles that at any mention of diabetes, she immediately resists, saying, “Don’t expect me to give myself a shot.” What can you tell her about various diabetes treatments and the likelihood of her needing to give herself a shot? Will Donna need to use a needle for her diabetes management? What are some strategies she can implement to avoid this?

Explain why Type 2 diabetes often shows up later in life and how it differs from Type 1 Diabetes. How do the treatments for the two diseases compare?

What lifestyle changes would you recommend for Donna? What dietary recommendations would you make? Explain why you decided to focus on the behaviors that you did

Mariati is the bookkeeper for Affendi’s Distributing Company, a distributor of soft drinks and juices. Because the company is rather small, Mariati performs all daily accounting tasks herself. Affendi, the owner of the company, supervises the warehouse/delivery and front office staff, but he also spends much of his time jogging and skiing.

For several years, profits were good, and sales grew faster than industry averages. Although the accounting system was working well, bottlers were pressuring Affendi to computerize. With a little guidance from a CPA friend and with no mention to Mariati, Affendi bought a new computer system and some accounting software. Only one day was required to set up the hardware, install the software, and convert the files. The morning the vendor installed the computer system, Mary’s job performance changed dramatically. Although the software company provided two full days of training, Mariati resisted learning the new system. As a result, Affendi decided she should run both the manual and computer systems for a month to verify the new system’s accuracy.

Mariati continually complained that she lacked the time and expertise to update both systems by herself. She also complained that she did not understand how to use the new computer system. To keep accounts up to date, Affendi spent two to three hours a day running the new system himself. Affendi found that much of the time spent running the system was devoted to identifying discrepancies between the computer and manual results. When the error was located, it was usually in the manual system. This significantly increased Affendi’s confidence in the new system.

At the end of the month, Affendi was ready to scrap the manual system, but Mariati said she was not ready. Affendi went back to skiing and jogging, and Mariati went on with the manual system. When the computer system fell behind, Affendi again spent time catching it up. He also worked with Mariati to try to help her understand how to operate the computer system.

Months later, Affendi was very frustrated because he was still keeping the computer system up to date and training Mary. He commented, “I’m sure Mariati knows how to use the system, but she doesn’t seem to want to. I can do all the accounting work on the computer in two or three hours a day, but she can’t even do it in her normal eight-hour workday. What should I do?”

1. Explain THREE (3) real causes of Mariati’s resistance to computers.

2. Identify FOUR (4) events that have contributed to the new system’s failure
3. Explain how Affendi should have handled the accounting system computerization.
