Prepare a cash flow statement for the year using the direct method

Case:

You have just inherited a large sum of money and you are trying to determine how much you will get after retirement and how much you can spend now. For retirement you will deposit today (January 1,2015) 2,500,000 euros in a bank account paying 4.55% compounded annually. You do not plan on touching this deposit until you retire in five years (January 1, 2020) and you plan on living for 20 additional years and then drop dead on December 31, 2039.

During your retirement, you would like to receive income of 60,000 euros per year to be received the fist day of each year, with the first payment on January 1,2020, an the last payment on January 1, 2039. Complicating this objective is your desire to have one three-year fling, during which time you´d like to track down all the original members of Cold Play and get their autographs. To finance this, you want to receive additional 50,000 euros on January 1, 2035, 25,000 euros on January 1, 2036 and 8,000 euros on January 1, 2037.

Questions:

1.What will be your final savings balance by January 1, 2040?

2.What would be your final savings balance if you decided not to have the three-year fling ( without the 3 years of additional spending to get the autographs etc.) ?

Explain fully, with examples, what dollar cost averaging is. What will happen (1) if the price of an investment trends down overtime; (2) trends up; (3) trends down then up; and (4) in real life? Use excel to model and graph the result.

There are some alternative bases for market segmentation (some examples are in our textbook). Look at your case analysis company. Detail how they currently (or should) break down their market segments. (What are the specific variables and how do they break down, specifically?) About 2 paragraphs.

Write down the truth table fora 4-to-2 priority encoderhaving input W[3:0]and with priority levels in the decreasing order (i.e., W[0]-Highest, ....., W[3]-Least). Write down the Verilog code for implementing   the same.

Myer’s dark day as earnings down, share price slumps

MYER has suffered its worst single-day market rout since its inglorious return to the bourse five years ago, after revealing it has suffered yet another slump in earnings.

Shares in the struggling ­department store chain plunged 13 per cent yesterday, wiping $188 million off its market value and undoing two months worth of gains.

It came as chief executive Bernie Brookes declared the group’s net profit had fallen for the third year in succession and was down almost 40 per cent since 2011.

Mr Brookes said the retailer was focused on its own game despite a big shift in the competitive landscape as David Jones’ new owners marked out an aggressive growth plan.

But disappointed investors stampeded the exits nonetheless, delivering Myer its worst single-day market performance since it was floated in November 2009.

Mr Brookes defended Myer’s long-term strategy, saying investment in store refurbishments, its online offer and its private label brands had taken a toll on the bottom line.

“The decision for us to invest back into the business is something some shareholders will see favourably and others will see unfavourably,” he said.

“But we are not here to build a business in a year.”

Myer reported a net profit of $98.5 million for the year to July 26, down from $127.2 million the previous year.

Three years earlier, the group’s net profit stood at $159.7 million.

Total sales for the past year were flat at $3.14 billion. But key like-for-like sales — which strip out the impact of stores that have opened or closed — were up 1.2 per cent.

Mr Brookes said the group was closely watching the activities of Woolworths South Africa, which bought David Jones for $2.2 billion in July.

Woolworths South Africa — not affiliated with its Australian namesake — has flagged plans to boost company-owned brands from the 3.5 per cent of sales to as much as 30 per cent.

Mr Brookes said Myer, which this year generated a record 20.3 per cent of sales from private label brands, had a headstart on its rival.

“Establishing a private label in the fashion business is a very complex and difficult thing to do. It takes a lot of engineering,” he said. “We’re comfortable we’ve got the advantage of time and learnings and loyalty from our customers.”

Mr Brookes said Myer had considered the risk that David Jones’ new owners could trigger a price war as the group sought to lure customers to the revamped business.

“If there is erratic behaviour, then they are another competitor and our job is to make sure the Myer customer is not disadvantaged,” Mr Brookes said.
