The condensed income statement for the Blossom and Paul partnership for 2020 is as follows.

A cost behavior analysis indicates that 75% of the cost of goods sold are variable, 42% of the selling expenses are variable, and 40% of the administrative expenses are variable.

1) Compute the break-even point in total sales dollars for 2020.

2) Blossom has proposed a plan to get the partnership “out of the red” and improve its profitability. She feels that the quality of the product could be substantially improved by spending $0.30 more per unit on better raw materials. The selling price per unit could be increased to only $5.25 because of competitive pressures. Blossom estimates that sales volume will increase by 25%. Compute the net income under Blossom's proposal and the break-even point in dollars

3) Paul was a marketing major in college. He believes that sales volume can be increased only by intensive advertising and promotional campaigns. He therefore proposed the following plan as an alternative to Blossom’s: (1) increase variable selling expenses to $0.59 per unit, (2) lower the selling price per unit by $0.23, and (3) increase fixed selling expenses by $40,000. Paul quoted an old marketing research report that said that sales volume would increase by 60% if these changes were made. Compute the net income under Paul’s proposal and the break-even point in dollars.

A movie is expected to produce cash flows of 26,600 dollars per month with the first monthly cash flow expected later today and the last monthly cash flow expected in 5 months from today. The cost of capital for the movie is 22.44 percent per year. What is the value of the movie?

Holly just borrowed 137,598 dollars from the bank. She plans to repay this loan by making equal quarterly payments for 10 years. If the interest rate on the loan is 7.8 percent per year and she makes her first quarterly payment in 3 months from today, then how much must Holly pay to the bank each quarter?

Kaka just borrowed $4,630 from the bank. He plans to repay this loan by making equal semi-annual payments for 24 half years. If the interest rate on the loan is 5.46 percent per year and he makes his first semi-annual payment later today, then how much must Kaka pay to the bank each half year?

Yu-Na must borrow $657 from the bank to pay her phone bill. She plans to repay this loan by making monthly payments to the bank of $31 per month. If the annual interest rate on the loan is 10.68 percent and she makes her first $31 payment in 1 month from today, then how many payments must Yu-Na make? Round your answer to 2 decimal places (for example, 2.89, 14.70, or 6.00).

ACCT505 – Project 1 Instructions You have just been contracted as a budget consultant by LBJ Company, a distributor of bracelets to various retail outlets across the country. The company has done very little in the way of budgeting and at certain times of the year has experienced a shortage of cash. You have decided to prepare a cash budget for the upcoming fourth quarter in order to show management the benefits that can be gained from proper cash planning. You have worked with accounting and other areas to gather the information assembled below. The company sells many styles of bracelets, but all are sold for the same $10 price. Actual sales of bracelets for the last three months and budgeted sales for the next six months follow (shown in number of units): July (actual) 20,000 August (actual) 26,000 September (actual) 40,000 October (budget) 70,000 November (budget) 110,000 December (budget) 60,000 January (budget) 30,000 February (budget) 28,000 March (budget) 25,000 The concentration of sales in the fourth quarter is due to the Christmas holiday. Sufficient inventory should be on hand at the end of each month to supply 40% of the bracelets sold in the following month. Suppliers are paid $4 for each bracelet. Fifty-percent of a month's purchases is paid for in the month of purchase; the other 50% is paid for in the following month. All sales are on credit with no discounts. The company has found, however, that only 20% of a month's sales are collected in the month of sale. An additional 70% is collected in the following month, and the remaining 10% is collected in the second month following sale. Bad debts have been negligible. Monthly operating expenses for the company are given below. Variable expenses: Sales commissions 4% of sales Fixed expenses: Advertising $220,000 Rent $20,000 Salaries $110,000 Utilities $10,000 The company plans to purchase $22,000 in new equipment during October and $50,000 in new equipment during November; both purchases will be for cash. The company declares dividends of $20,000 each quarter, payable in the first month of the following quarter. Other relevant data is given below: Cash balance as of September 30 $74,000 Merchandise purchases for September $200,000 The company maintains a minimum cash balance of at least $50,000 at the end of each month. All borrowing is done at the beginning of a month; any repayments are made at the end of a month. The company has an agreement with a bank that allows the company to borrow the exact amount needed at the beginning of each month. The interest rate on these loans is 1% per month and for simplicity we will assume that interest is not compounded.
