After having taken an MBA a friend of yours is planning to open a cafeteria in a well-known Pyrenees ski resort. In order to prepare the forecasted financial expenses for a potential investor he has asked you some help in order to double check the financial statements of the business.

The cafeteria would only be opened for 6 months (180 days), starting the 1^st of November and until the 30^th of April, so you must consider all the financial statements on a semester basis.

Expected sales in average:

• Breakfasts served: 25 breakfast per day at an average price of 10€ each
• Lunch: 50 breakfast per day at an average price of 20€ each
• Coffee: 3.000 cups per month at 2€ each
• Sandwiches: estimated 1.000 per month at an average price of 4€
• Soups: estimated 375 per month at an average price of 6€

During the season, the cafeteria will host 2 private events for special guests of the resort:

• New Year’s dinner party consisting in 100 menus at 100€ (includes dinner and open bar), with an expected margin of 40%, which will be collected 30 days after its celebration (30^th January).
• Easter’s special lunch consisting in 100 menus at 50€, with an expected margin of 30%, which will be collected 30 days after its celebration (end May)

Additionally, there will be extra revenues by selling souvenirs as postcards and fridge magnets. The forecast is to sell an equivalent of the 10% of the total revenues (excluding the private events). The cost of the souvenirs is barely the 10% of its price with collecting & payment conditions being the same as the rest of the cafeteria products.

The direct cost of the ingredients of every meal or food/beverage served is as following (over price):

• Breakfast: 30%
• Lunch: 35%
• Coffee: 20%
• Sandwiches: 50%
• Soup: 25%

The costs related to the goods sold (food, beverages, special events, souvenirs) will pe paid in average 30 days after its consumption.

You expect to have a stable headcount of the following positions:

• Waiters: 3 persons, with a gross salary of 1.000€ per month (only during the 6 months season) plus a 30% of Social Security taxes.
• Cooker: 2 persons, with a gross salary of 2.000€ per month (only during the 6 months season) plus a 30% of Social Security taxes
• Business manager with a gross salary of 5.000€ per month (which applies for all year) plus a 30% of Social Security taxes

Salaries will be paid at the end of the month while SS taxes at the end of every calendar quarter.

Consumption of water, power and heat are expected to amount 3.000€ per month. Since the payments is usually in 60 days, at the end of the season 1/3 of the utilities will remain unpaid.

As part of the agreement with the ski resort, cafeteria will have to liquidate and pay a royalty of an equivalent of the 10% of the total semester revenues (to be paid the month after the season ends).

Additionally, it has been calculated that other general expenses, as alarms, cleaning, kitchen tools, etc. will amount a 3% of the revenues, all of them paid within the season period.

The cafeteria will have to invest 60,000€ in order to purchase some necessary assets for the operation, as chairs, tables, shelves, a fridge, an oven and cutlery. All those elements will be sold after the season at a 50% of its price value. All of them are expected to be paid during the first 3 months, while the collection of the end-season sale will be expected 60 days after the closing.

With the purpose to face the initial investment payment for the assets acquired, contemplate to get a bank loan with a 6 months maturity, repaid (principal plus interests) on the 30^th April with a 6% annual compound interest rate.

Consider that 50% of the total revenues (including souvenirs and special events) are paid with credit card which results in a 1,5% financial cost for the cafeteria. The rest is being paid upfront.

Estimated tax provision is 25%, to be paid 60 days after the closing balance of the season.

The Balance sheet at the beginning of the period (1^st November) only contained 10.000€ of Cash and 10.000€ of Capital stock.

1. Please elaborate the 2021-22 semester (Nov-April) Income statement and Cash-Flow Statement, showing in this case the 3 standard categories (Operational, Investing, Financial). Also complete the 31^st April 2022 Balance Sheet and identify in it the differences between the Net Income and the Free Cash-Flow of the period. Comment all the results shown. (85 points: 25pts IS, 25pts CF, 25pts BS and 10pts for explaining and showing the differences).
2. If you were a potential investor what aspects would, you consider according the financial information seen above. Does the fact of being a seasonal business would affect your decision on investing or not? If the forecast was contemplating, 12 months rather than 6 would the financials change? Explain (15 points)

Business analytics MBA- There are a number of learning scenarios or types of learning algorithms, that can be used depending on whether a target variable is available and how much labeled data can be used. These approaches include supervised, unsupervised, and semi-supervised learning. Explain the difference between each type of machine learning. Give an example of how each is used. Write your responses in detail with examples. Be sure to identify the source of your example in your posting. Your initial post should be of minimum 300 words.

Most MBA students study in “teams.” Is there a potential tragedy of the commons within the study teams? Ask differently, what incentive problems do these groups have to overcome? How has your group sought to overcome the incentive problems? Why are teams generally small? What would be the consequence of doubling or tripling the size of study teams? How does team size influence the extent to which teams allocate "points" for members contributions to team projects?

As a recently hired MBA intern, you are working in a consulting capacity to provide an analysis for Al Dente's Italian Restaurant. A financial income Statement is presented below:

Sales $4,640,560

Cost of sales (all variable) $2,679,008

Gross Margin $1,961,553 Operating expenses:

Variable $478,117

Fixed $367,521

Total operating expenses: $845,638

Administative expenses (all fixed) $970,725

Net operating income $145,190

This income statement presents the sales, expenses and pre-tax operating income for a local eating facility. At Al Dente, the average meal cost for lunches and dinners are $20 and $40 respectively. Al Dente serves both lunch and dinner 300 days per year and serves twice as many lunches as dinners. As the MBA intern you are to prepare a managerial accounting focused report to the owners of Al Dente's Italian Restaurant, to include the following

5. In order to increase NOI, the owner of the restaurant is considering adjustments to the quality of food ingredients currently used. Rather than using premium ingredients, use of average quality ingredients would reduce the cost of food by 15%. The owner proposes to not change the current meal pricing. As the consultant, prepare a memo to the owner that presents the pros and cons of this change in operations. What are the potential impacts on revenue, costs, and net operating income may result from this change? The owner does not want to see a decrease in net operating income. Could the owner make this change and absorb a decrease in customers, and how would you demonstrate numerically to support your analysis? What other factors or consequences of this decision should the owner consider besides the financial impact of the change? Hint: this qualitative analysis is to be thorough. Expect to present 400 words or so, and support your analysis using calculated or given accounting data. Please show how you got the calculations!!!
