During the last week of August, Oneida Company’s owner approaches the bank for a $101,000 loan to be made on September 2 and repaid on November 30 with annual interest of 16%, for an interest cost of $4,040. The owner plans to increase the store’s inventory by $60,000 during September and needs the loan to pay for inventory acquisitions. The bank’s loan officer needs more information about Oneida’s ability to repay the loan and asks the owner to forecast the store’s November 30 cash position. On September 1, Oneida is expected to have a $4,500 cash balance, $131,400 of net accounts receivable, and $100,000 of accounts payable. Its budgeted sales, merchandise purchases, and various cash disbursements for the next three months follow. Budgeted Figures* September October November Sales $ 230,000 $ 475,000 $ 460,000 Merchandise purchases 225,000 200,000 196,000 Cash payments Payroll 19,900 21,900 24,600 Rent 11,000 11,000 11,000 Other cash expenses 34,400 29,800 21,400 Repayment of bank loan 101,000 Interest on the bank loan 4,040 *Operations began in August; August sales were $180,000 and purchases were $100,000. The budgeted September merchandise purchases include the inventory increase. All sales are on account. The company predicts that 27% of credit sales is collected in the month of the sale, 44% in the month following the sale, 22% in the second month, 6% in the third, and the remainder is uncollectible. Applying these percents to the August credit sales, for example, shows that $79,200 of the $180,000 will be collected in September, $39,600 in October, and $10,800 in November. All merchandise is purchased on credit; 90% of the balance is paid in the month following a purchase, and the remaining 10% is paid in the second month. For example, of the $100,000 August purchases, $90,000 will be paid in September and $10,000 in October. Required: Prepare a cash budget for September, October, and November.

Each of the following scenarios describes a correlation between two variables. State whether the correlation is most likely due to a coincidence, a common underlying cause, or a direct cause. If there is an underlying cause, state what you think it is. If you believe that one variable directly causes the other, suggest possible physical causation.

Exercise 13-13 - Topic - Non Financial and Current Liabilities
Ayayai Corporation offers enriched parental benefits to its
staff. While the government provides compensation based on
Employment Insurance legislation for a period of 12 months, Ayayai
increases the amounts received and extends the period of
compensation. The benefit program tops up the amount received to
100% of the employee’s salary for the first 12 months, and pays the
employee 70% of his or her full salary for another 6 months after
the EI payments have stopped.
Zeinab Jolan, who earns $52,000 per year, announced to her manager
in early June 2020 that she was expecting a baby in mid-November.
On October 29, 2020, 9 weeks before the end of the calendar year
and Ayayai’s fiscal year, Zeinab applied for and began her 18-month

her a maximum of $720 per week for 52 weeks.
For the purpose of this question, ignore any tax, CPP, and EI
deductions when making payments to Zeinab.

Supply chain effects on total relevant inventory cost. Cow Spot Computer Co. outsources the production of motherboards for its computers. It has narrowed down its choice of suppliers to two companies: Maji and Induk. Maji is an older company with a good reputation, while Induk is a newer company with cheaper prices. Given the difference in reputation, 5% of the motherboards will be inspected if they are purchased from Maji, but 25% of the motherboards will be inspected if they are purchased from Induk. The following data refers to costs associated with Maji and Induk.
1. What is the relevant cost of purchasing from Maji and Induk?
2. What factors other than cost should Cow Spotconsider?

You have been asked to investigate some cost problems in the Assembly Department of Digital Life Electronics Co., a consumer electronics company. To begin your investigation, you have obtained the following budget performance report for the department for the last quarter:

The following reports were also obtained:

You also interviewed the Assembly Department supervisor. Excerpts from the interview follow.
Q: What explains the poor performance in your department?
A: Listen, you€™ve got to understand what it€™s been like in this department recently. Lately, it seems no matter how hard we try, we can€™t seem to make the standards. I€™m not sure what is going on, but we€™ve been having a lot of problems lately.
Q: What kind of problems?
A: Well, for instance, all this quarter we€™ve been requisitioning purchased parts from the material storeroom, and the parts just didn€™t fit together very well. I€™m not sure what is going on, but during most of this quarter we€™ve had to scrap and sort purchased parts€”just to get our assemblies put together. Naturally, all this takes time and material. And that€™s not all.
Q: Go on.
A: All this quarter, the work that we€™ve been receiving from the Fabrication Department has been shoddy. I mean, maybe around 20% of the stuff that comes in from Fabrication just can€™t be assembled.
The fabrication is all wrong. As a result, we€™ve had to scrap and rework a lot of the stuff.
Naturally, this has just shot our quantity variances.
Interpret the variance reports in light of the comments by the Assembly Departmentsupervisor.
