During the first week of lockdown, you decided not to spend more than $30 on your food. You ate only hotdog with burger bread, and that also in a 1:1 combination, and nothing else. The prices of both these goods were $1 per unit. Find out the optimum amount of hotdog and burger bread you consumed that week. In the second week, due to lack of supply the price of hotdog increased to $2 while the price of burger bread did not change. How many hotdogs and burgers bread did you consume in the second week? Explain the income and substitution effects of this price change using a diagram

Inflation Issues Does the base basket used to create the CPI precisely reflect your individual choices?...

Inflation Issues

  • Does the base basket used to create the CPI precisely reflect your individual choices? If the answer is no, do the inflation rates calculated using the CPI represent the changes in purchasing power that you actually experience?
  • Do you substitute between goods as one becomes more expensive, i.e., would you buy more of a less expensive good if the price of your first choice rose significantly? If the answer is yes, does the CPI inflation rate represent the decrease in purchasing power that you actually experienced?
  • Based on your answers to the above, does the choice of the market basket matter?

You have just been hired as a new management trainee by Earrings Unlimited, a distributor of earrings to various retail outlets located in shopping malls across the country. In the past, the company has done very little in the way of budgeting and at certain times of the year has experienced a shortage of cash. Since you are well trained in budgeting, you have decided to prepare a master budget for the upcoming second quarter. To this end, you have worked with accounting and other areas to gather the information assembled below.

The company sells many styles of earrings, but all are sold for the same price—$16 per pair. Actual sales of earrings for the last three months and budgeted sales for the next six months follow (in pairs of earrings):

January (actual) 22,000 June (budget) 52,000
February (actual) 28,000 July (budget) 32,000
March (actual) 42,000 August (budget) 30,000
April (budget) 67,000 September (budget) 27,000
May (budget) 102,000

The concentration of sales before and during May is due to Mother’s Day. Sufficient inventory should be on hand at the end of each month to supply 40% of the earrings sold in the following month.

Suppliers are paid $5.00 for a pair of earrings. One-half of a month’s purchases is paid for in the month of purchase; the other half is paid for in the following month. All sales are on credit. 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.

Rent $ 28,000
Salaries $ 126,000
Utilities $ 12,000
Insurance $ 4,000
Depreciation $ 24,000

Insurance is paid on an annual basis, in November of each year.

The company plans to purchase $21,000 in new equipment during May and $50,000 in new equipment during June; both purchases will be for cash. The company declares dividends of $22,500 each quarter, payable in the first month of the following quarter.

Common stock 1,000,000
Retained earnings 743,900
Total liabilities and stockholders’ equity $ 1,876,400

The company maintains a minimum cash balance of $60,000. 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 in increments of $1,000 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. At the end of the quarter, the company would pay the bank all of the accumulated interest on the loan and as much of the loan as possible (in increments of $1,000), while still retaining at least $60,000 in cash.
