[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.]

Lehighton Chalk Company manufactures sidewalk chalk, which it sells online by the box at $22 per unit. Lehighton uses an actual costing system, which means that the actual costs of direct material, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead are entered into work-in-process inventory. The actual application rate for manufacturing overhead is computed each year; actual manufacturing overhead is divided by actual production (in units) to compute the application rate. Information for Lehighton’s first two years of operation is as follows:

Year 1 Year 2
Sales (in units) 3,100 3,100
Production (in units) 3,600 2,600
Production costs:
Variable manufacturing costs $ 15,840 $ 11,440

VCP wants to prepare a cash budget for the first 3 months of the next year.

Use the following estimates:

- The quantity sold is projected to increase 4% for the year. Price will increase 5%. Sales are spread evenly throughout the year. CGS should be calculated on a FIFO basis.

- 25% of sales is collected in the month of sale; the remainder is collected the next month.

- Inventory:

o Last year’s Finished Goods and Cost of Goods Sold had a constant cost per unit.

o All raw materials is purchased on credit ($1.50 per lb) and is the same price as last year. Each product requires 2.5 lbs).

o Ending inventory for both should be 40% of next month’s activity (activity is constant).

o Beginning and ending WIP is zero

- 20% of purchases are paid in the month of purchase, 80% in the following. All other expenses are paid with cash.

- Direct Labor is 0.2 hours per product at $30 per hour. Variable Overhead is $2.25 per product. Fixed Overhead is zero.

- The credit line is used for cash shortfalls. Excess cash will pay down this line. Interest is 1% per month of last month’s balance.

- Projections are to buy $6000 of new equipment at the end of January. Equipment is depreciated straight-line to zero salvage over 5 years. All of this is used in administration.

- Sales commission rate will remain the same. Salaries will increase by 4%.

- VCP wants to maintain a minimum cash balance of at least $5,000. Excess to repay credit line.

Question 1 [40 pts] – Free Rider Problem –Game Theoretic Modeling

Consider two individuals who are deciding to pay for a public good or not. The value of the public good is 10 for each individual and the cost of the public good is 12 TL.

  • If they both vote yes and agree to pay, they will share the cost equally and the public good is provided.
  • If only one vote yes and agrees to pay, full cost will be borne by this individual and the public good will be provided.
  • If they both opt out from paying by voting no, no funds will be collected and the public good will not be provided.

Given the valuation for the public good, cost and the cost sharing mechanism above and our knowledge about public goods this decision process is depicted as a simultaneous form game below.  [Note on notation: the first payoff in each cell corresponds to the payoff of the row player, Individual 1. The second payoff in each cell corresponds to the payoff of the column player, Individual 2.]

Modeling: – Using Game Theory

  1. (5 pts) Public goods are non-rival and non-excludable. Check the payoffs (net benefit; benefit after costs) from each outcome and note that while writing the payoffs of the game these two characteristics of pure public goods is used. Refer to these characteristics first and explain how these characteristics are incorporated into the game.

  1. (4 pts) Explain why this problem about the provision of a public good can be represented using game theory; say as opposed to the problem of an individual deciding to buy a t-shirt for himself or not.

One-Shot Game: Impossibility of reaching the cooperative outcome.

  1. (2 pts) What is Individual 1’s best response to other player choosing to pay for the public good? Briefly explain.
  2. (2 pts) Explain what a dominant action is and then indicate if there is a dominant action here for any player.
  1. (2 pts) Solve for the Nash equilibrium of the game. Explain your work.
  1. (5 pts) Evaluate the Nash equilibrium of the game. Is this equilibrium socially efficient? Explain by referring to the market failure we encounter with the public goods.
  1. (5 pts) Can the two individuals just promise each other to vote yes and then sustain the promised cooperative outcome in this game that is played once? Show that each individual has an incentive to cheat and vote no instead when the other is sticking to its promise.

Significance of assessing risk in the internal control process: Risk Assessment is really one of the important component of whole internal control process. To set proper control environment in the organization, management must understand and identify possible risk which can affect their objectives and mission and how much that can affect to the organization. Risk assessments require proper identification, measurement, analysis, and documentation of significant business activities, associated risks, and existing controls. Financial risk assessments focus on identifying control weaknesses and material errors in financial statements such as incomplete, inaccurate, or unauthorized transactions. Risk assessments are conducted in order to identify, measure, and prioritize risks so that attention is placed first on areas of greatest importance. Risk assessments should analyze threats to all significant operations and activities, the sufficiency of mitigating controls, and any residual risk exposures. The results of all assessments should be appropriately reported, and risk assessment methodologies should be updated regularly to reflect changes in business activities, work processes, or internal controls. Based on the assessment, Management can design responses to the risks to ensure that risks are within the defined tolerance level for the defined objectives.

Effective internal controls are necessary for both private and government organizations. As mentioned on Pg.63 of the textbook, Government is constantly scrutinized by the common people. This can be considered as a good control as it makes Government accountable to the taxpayer for each dollar they spent. But at the same time, it imposes restrictions on Government spending even for certain important management functions. Like any Government organization Internal Audit department might not be allowed to spend for audit software which is used by the private companies and which allows internal audit unit to perform their job functions more efficiently. Common people may consider as unnecessary and irrelevant spending. One way this could be achieved by generating awareness about the importance establishing efficient controls in the government organization and how that will impact in providing cost-effective service.

The following equations describe an economy. (Think of C, I, G, etc., as being measured in billions and I as a percentage; a 5 percent interest rate implies I=5).

C = 0.8 (1 – t) Y

                              t = 0.30

                              I = 1000 – 50 i

G= 500

                              L = 0.25Y – 65 i

M/P = 700

                       

  1. Derive the IS equation.

AD = C + I + G + NX

AD = 0.8 (1 – t) Y + 1000 – 50i + 500

AD = 0.8 (1 – 0.3) Y + 1500 – 50i

             At equilibrium AD = Y so

                        Y= 0.8 (1 – 0.3) Y + 1500-50i

                        Y- [0.8 (1 - .3) Y]=1500 – 50i

                        Y[1 – (0.8(1 - .3))] = 1500 – 50i

                        Y= [1/ (1- (0.8 (1- 0.3))] x (1500- 50i)

                        Y= 2.27(1500 – 50i)

                        Y= 3405 – 113.5i

  1. Derive the LM equation.

M-bar/P-bar = L

700= .25Y – 65i

0.25Y = 700 +65i

Y= 4(700 + 65i)

Y= 2800 + 260i

  1. What are the equilibrium levels of income and interest rate?

3405 – 113.5i = 2800 + 260i

3405 – 2800 = 113.5i + 260i

605= 373.5i

i= 1.62

Y= 2800 + 260(1.62)

Y= 3221.2

  1. What is the value of aG which corresponds to simple multiplier with taxes?
    1. AG= 2.27 (First question)
  2. What would be the new equilibrium levels of income and interest rate if the congress passed a tax-cut and the new tax rate was 25%, and concurrently, people became less frugal and consequently marginal propensity to consume increases to 0.90.
  3. If the increased spending overshoots and the economy starts to experience inflation, calculate the new levels of equilibrium income and interest rate if the new Federal Reserve decided to curb spending and by lowering the real money supply to 550?
  4. For each step, graph the IS and LM curves and clearly show their movements for the problems above. Although the graph needs not to be precise, you must clearly show if IS or LM curves shifted or tilted and in which direction.
