WORKING CAPITAL INVESTMENT

Pasha Corporation produces motorcycle batteries. Pasha turns out 1,100 batteries a day at a cost of $7 per battery for materials and labor. It takes the firm 24 days to convert raw materials into a battery. Pasha allows its customers 40 days in which to pay for the batteries, and the firm generally pays its suppliers in 30 days. Assume 365 days in year for your calculations.

What is the length of Pasha's cash conversion cycle? Round your answer to two decimal places.
________ days

At a steady state in which Pasha produces 1,100 batteries a day, what amount of working capital must it finance? Round your answer to the nearest dollar.
$ ________

By what amount could Pasha reduce its working capital financing needs if it was able to stretch its payables deferral period to 39 days? Round your answer to the nearest dollar.
$ ________


Pasha's management is trying to analyze the effect of a proposed new production process on its working capital investment. The new production process would allow Pasha to decrease its inventory conversion period to 15 days and to increase its daily production to 2,100 batteries. However, the new process would cause the cost of materials and labor to increase to $11. Assuming the change does not affect the average collection period (40 days) or the payables deferral period (30 days), what will be the length of its cash conversion cycle and its working capital financing requirement if the new production process is implemented? Round your answers to two decimal places.

Question:

Stephanie runs a small retail business in a poor rural community.  She has 4 employees, 2 of them part time, all of them older adults who have grown up in the area.  She has had only modest success so she has never been able to afford to provide health insurance for her employees. None of them have private insurance or Medicaid -- nor do they have primary care doctors. They rely on a small local urgent care center or the emergency room at the nearest hospital which is in the next county.  All of this may be changing. Stephanie has been invited into a small business consortium where many small businesses are coming together to negotiate collective terms of agreement to buy insurance at a reduced rate from Blue Cross Blue Shield.  It would most likely be a managed care plan - either a PPO or an HMO.  Stephanie is trying to consider all the pros and cons in order to make her decision.

P4-51B. (Learning Objectives 2, 4: Explain the objectives and components of internal control; evaluate internal controls)...

P4-51B. (Learning Objectives 2, 4: Explain the objectives and components of internal control; evaluate internal controls) Each of the following situations reveals an internal control weakness: Situation a. In evaluating the internal control over cash payments of Arlington Manufacturing, an auditor learns that the purchasing agent is responsible for purchasing diamonds for use in the company’s manufacturing process, approving the invoices for payment, and signing the checks. No supervisor reviews the purchasing agent’s work. Situation b. Kelly Hixson owns an architectural firm. Hixson’s staff consists of 19 professional architects, and Hixson manages the office. Often, Hixson’s work requires her to travel to meet with clients. During the past six months, Hixson has observed that when she returns from a business trip, the architecture jobs in the office have not progressed satisfactorily. Hixson learns that when she is away, two of her senior architects take over office management and neglect their normal duties. One employee could manage the office. Situation c. Ron Lucas has been an employee of the city of Scandia for many years. Because the city is small, Lucas performs all accounting duties, in addition to opening the mail, preparing the bank deposit, and preparing the bank reconciliation. Requirements 1. Identify the missing internal control characteristic in each situation. 2. Identify each firm’s possible problem. 3. Propose a solution to the problem.
