health insurance benefits vary by the size of the company (Atlanta Business chronicle, December 31, 2010). The sample data below show the number of companies providing health insurance for small, medium, and large companies. for purposes of this study, small companies are companies that have fewer than 100 employees. Medium-sized com- panies have 100 to 999 employees, and large companies have 1000 or more employees.

The questionnaire sent to 225 employees asked whether or not the employee had health
insurance and then asked the employee to indicate the size of the company.

The 8% $30 million convertible loan note was issued on 1 April, 2010 at par. Interest is payable annually in arrears on 31 March each year.
The loan note is redeemable at par on 31 March, 2013 or convertible into equity shares at the option of the loan note holders on the basis
of 30 equity shares for each $100 of loan note. The company’s finance director has calculated that to issue an equivalent loan note without
the conversion rights it would have to pay an interest rate of 10% per annum to attract investors.
The present value of $1 receivable at the end of each year, based on discount rates of 8% and 10% are:
8% 10%
End of year 1 0·93 0·91
2 0·86 0·83

On May 6, 2010, the US stock market experience what is called “Flash Crash,” in which DJIA plunged about 1000 points (about 9%) only to recover those losses within minutes.

Some people say that the crash was due to the high-frequency traders.

What do you think about the market efficiency in the flash crash? Is the flash crash evidence against the market efficiency?

Hansell Company’s management wants to prepare budgets for one of its products, duraflex, for July 2010.
The firm sells the product for $80 per unit and has the following expected sales (in units) for these months
in 2010:

April May June July August September
5,000 5,400 5,500 6,000 7,000 8,000

The production process requires 4 pounds of dura-1000 and 2 pounds of flexplas. The firm’s policy is to
maintain an ending inventory each month equal to 10 percent of the following month’s budgeted sales, but
in no case less than 500 units. All materials inventories are to be maintained at 5 percent of the production
needs for the next month, but not to exceed 1,000 pounds. The firm expects all inventories at the end of
June to be within the guidelines. The purchase department expects the materials to cost $1.25 per pound and
$5.00 per pound for dura-1000 and flexplas, respectively.
The production process requires direct labor at two skill levels. The rate for labor at the K102 level is $50
per hour and for the K175 level is $20 per hour. The K102 level can process one batch of duraflex per hour;
each batch consists of 100 units. The manufacturing of duraflex also requires one-tenth of an hour of K175
workers’ time for each unit manufactured.
Variable manufacturing overhead is $1,200 per batch plus $80 per direct labor-hour. The company uses
an actual cost system with a LIFO cost-flow assumption.
Required On the basis of the preceding data and projections, prepare the following budgets:
a. Sales budget for July (in dollars).
b. Production budget for July (in units).
c. Production budget for August (in units).
d. Direct materials purchases budget for July (in pounds).
e. Direct materials purchases budget for July (in dollars).
f. Direct manufacturing labor budget for July (in dollars).
