Suppose Stuart Company has the following results related to cash flows for 2018:

Net Income of $5,600,000
Increase in Accounts Payable of $600,000
Decrease in Accounts Receivable of $900,000
Depreciation of $1,900,000
Increase in Inventory of $200,000
Other Adjustments from Operating Activities of -$800,000

Assuming no other cash flow adjustments than those listed above, create a statement of cash flows with amounts in thousands.

What is the Net Cash Flow from Operating Activities?

Please specify your answer in the same units as the statement of cash flows.

Again, recall Little’s Law. An escalator can be used two ways: A person can stand and let the escalator take her to the other end. Or the person can walk the escalator, reaching the other end faster. Suppose by walking a person reaches the other end in 60% of the time she takes just standing. However, when all walk the escalator, they need more space between them to avoid bumping into each other. Thus, the number of persons who can be on the escalator at the same time reduces by 50%. Which method (everyone standing vs. everyone walking) allows escalator to be used by most people per unit of time? Explain briefly. For full credit, you must use Little's Law to prove it.

Price competition is intense in the fast-food, air travel, and personal computer industries. Discuss a recent situ- ation in which companies had to meet or beat a rival’s price in a price-competitive industry. Did you benefit from this situation?

Microeconomics

Construct Production Possibility Frontiers graphs with constant opportunity costs for United States and Chile.  Assume there are two goods in these economies: Wheat and Copper.  If the U.S. puts all of its resources into the production of wheat, it can produce 300,000 units of wheat; if it puts all of its resources into the production of Copper, it can produce 150,000 units of copper. If the Chile puts all of its resources into the production of wheat, it can produce 100,000 units of wheat; if it puts all of its resources into the production of Copper, it can produce 100,000 units of copper.  

            a. Determine the opportunity costs of both countries to produce both wheat and copper.

b. Which country has the absolute advantage in the production of each good? Explain why.

            c. Which country has the comparative advantage in the production of each good? Explain why.

Operating Leverage

Beck Inc. and Bryant Inc. have the following operating data:

a. Compute the operating leverage for Beck Inc. and Bryant Inc. If required, round to one decimal place.

b. How much would income from operations increase for each company if the sales of each increased by 10%? If required, round answers to nearest whole number.

c. The difference in the increases  of income from operations is due to the difference in the operating leverages. Beck Inc.'s higher  operating leverage means that its fixed costs are a larger  percentage of contribution margin than are Bryant Inc.'s.

1. Your sales or revenue forecast will be an important and key element for any business plan. If you were to forecast the sales for Year 1 through Year 3 what would be the variables you would need to consider and where might you go to research and obtain the data on which to base your forecast?

A project to build a new bridge seems to be going very well since the project is well ahead of schedule and costs seem to be running very low. A major milestone has been reached where the first two activities have been totally completed and the third activity is 60 percent complete. The planners were only expecting to be 50 percent through the third activity at this time. The first activity involves prepping the site for the bridge. It was expected that this would cost $1,420,000 and it was done for only $1,300,000. The second activity was the pouring of concrete for the bridge. This was expected to cost $10,500,000 but was actually done for $9,000,000. The third and final activity is the actual construction of the bridge superstructure. This was expected to cost a total of $8,500,000. To date they have spent $5,000,000 on the superstructure. Calculate the schedule variance, schedule performance index, and cost index for the project to date. How is the project going?
