This is a computational problem that will cover questions A-P. A university security office investigates if there is a statistical difference in public endangerment driving between the three most common traffic violations students commit while driving on the campus streets (Group 1: driving while texting; Group 2: driving while smoking pot; Group 3: driving while eating burger and fries). Do all computational work, including the post-hoc tests and effect size, if necessary.

Show the budget by month and in total. determine any borrowing that would be needed to maintain the minimum cash balance of $50,000. The answers given was 258,000 318,000, 244,000 and 820,000. I am asking how were figures calculated? This is my first time posting a question please advise what is incomplete about my question and how to remedy it so that I can have a better understanding of how the figures were calculated. Thank you.

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—$10 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) 20,000 June (budget) 50,000
February (actual) 26,000 July (budget) 30,000
March (actual) 40,000 August (budget) 28,000
April (budget) 65,000 September (budget) 25,000
May (budget) 100,000

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 $4 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.

Monthly operating expenses for the company are given below:

Sales commissions

4% of sales

Rent

$18,000

Salaries

$106,000

Utilities

$7,000

Insurance

$3,000

Depreciation

$14,000

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

The company plans to purchase $16,000 in new equipment during May and $40,000 in new equipment during June; both purchases will be for cash. The company declares dividends of $15,000 each quarter, payable in the first month of the following quarter.

The company’s balance sheet as of March 31 is given below:

Assets
Cash $     74,000

Accounts receivable ($26,000 February sales;
$320,000 March sales)

346,000
Inventory 104,000
Prepaid insurance 21,000
Property and equipment (net) 950,000
Total assets $1,495,000
Liabilities and Stockholders’ Equity
Accounts payable $   100,000
Dividends payable 15,000
Common stock 800,000
Retained earnings     580,000
Total liabilities and stockholders’ equity $1,495,000

The company maintains a minimum cash balance of $50,000. 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 $50,000 in cash.

Required:

Prepare a master budget for the three-month period ending June 30. Include the following detailed schedules:

A sales budget, by month and in total.

A schedule of expected cash collections, by month and in total.

A merchandise purchases budget in units and in dollars. Show the budget by month and in total.

Company X's current return on equity (ROE) is 17.06%. It pays out one-quarter of earnings as cash dividends, i.e. its payout ratio is 29.1%. Current book value per share is $38.71. The company has 5.68 million shares outstanding. Assume that the ROE and payout ratio stay constant for the next four years. After that, competition forces the ROE to 11.02% and the company changes the payout ratio to 71.52%. The company does not plan to issue or retire shares. The cost of capital is 10.77%.

(a) What is the price of stock X?

(b) How much of stock X's value is attributable to growth opportunities (PVGO)? Note that here we cannot use P=(EPS/r)+PVGO because ROE changes over time. PVGO is defined by the difference between the price of stock and the value of share if there is no growth for every period.

Inventory purchases each month are 100% of the cost of the following month’s projected sales. Occipital’s gross profit rate is 50%, that is a 100% markup on cost. All merchandise purchases are made on credit and paid for in the month following the purchase. Administrative costs are expected to be $150,000 per month.

Volkswagen saw a 95% drop in its fourth quarter profits in 2004 after an unexpected surge in the value of the Euro left the company with losses of $1.5 billion.

1. What is hedging? Explain how Volkswagen's failure to fully protect itself against foreign exchange fluctuations had a negative effect on the company? What can Volkswagen and other companies learn from this experience?

2. Why was Volkswagen so vulnerable to the change in the value of the Euro against the US Dollar relative to the US Dollar?

3. In 2015 and 2016 strong dollar affected several US companies. Please see the one of the examples in the following links (2015 and 2016) where the strong dollar hurt the company. What can this company do to protect itself from exchange rate fluctuations? Since the beginning of 2017, the dollar has been weakening. What does that mean for US companies? How will the weaker dollar affect US businesses?
