Please only answer #7

1.    Financial Statements: Develop an Income Statement for 20XX, Cash Flow Statement for 20XX, and Balance Sheet as of the end of 20XX based on the data provided below for year 20XX. All sales are collected when the sale is made and all expenses are paid when the expense is incurred. Explain the purpose of each financial statement.

a.    Income Statement Data for 20XX:

· Units produced and sold = 420

·  Sales ($80 per unit selling price) = $33600

· Cost of goods sold ($30 per unit, all variable costs) = $12600

· Labor = $0 (Mr. and Mr. Lee were the only ones working and did not pay themselves)

· Advertising fees =$2000

· Bank fees = $150

· Phone/internet = $1200

· Shipping ($3 per unit) = $1260

· Utilities = $900

· Office supplies = $800

· Interest expense on note payable = $350

· Depreciation expense (straight line) = $800

· Income tax rate = 26 %

b.    Other Financial Data for 20XX:

· Proceeds from sale of equipment = $3000. The equipment originally cost $1000 and had accumulated depreciation of $200.

· Purchase of equipment = $1600 (The machine is purchased on the last day of 20XX so no depreciation expense is recorded.)

· Repayment of note payable = $5000

· Consider any data relevant from the income statement.

c.     Balance Sheet Data for Beginning of 20XX:

· Cash and cash equivalents = $10000

· Accounts receivable = $0 (Cash is received at time of sale)

· Raw materials inventory = $10500

· Equipment = $5000 (This includes the $1000 cost of the equipment sold in 20XX).

· Accumulated depreciation = $1,000 (This includes the accumulated depreciation of 200 for the equipment sold in 20XX.

· Accounts payable = $0 (Cash is paid at the time of purchase.)

· Note payable = $5000 (This is the note payable which is repaid in 20XX)

· Common stock = $15000

· Retained earnings = $4500

2.    Financial Ratios: Calculate the following financial ratios and explain the meaning of the results.

a.    Net Profit Margin

b.    Quick Ratio

c.     Debt-to-Equity Ratio

3.    Cost Classification: The Lee’s have provided you with the following costs and relevant information that are assumed for year 20XY.

A. Classify each of the costs (a. through j.) below under C. as a variable cost or a fixed cost.

B. Explain the importance of distinguishing between variable and fixed costs. 

C. Prepare a budgeted income statement, assuming 600 units to be produced and sold, a per unit selling price of $85, an income tax rate of 28% and the following information.

a.    Cost of goods sold of $35 per unit

b.    Labor = $400/month

· One part-time employee will be hired to take care of packaging and shipping. This employee will be paid $10 per hour. He or she is estimated to work 40 hours total per month.

c.     Advertising fees = $3,000

d.    Bank fees = $200

e.    Phone/internet = $150 per month

f.     Shipping = $3 per unit

g.    Utilities = $100 per month

h.    Office Supplies = $900

i.      Conference Exhibitor Fee = $3000

j.      Travel Expenses for Conference (e.g. airfare, meals, taxi) = $1200

4.    Net Present Value: The Lees are considering adding a new piece of equipment that will speed up the process of building the bobble heads. The cost of the piece of equipment is $42000. It is expected that the new piece of equipment will lead to cash flows of $17000, $29000, and $40000 over the next 3 years. If the appropriate discount rate is 12%, what is the NPV of this investment? Explain the findings.

5.    Budget Preparation: The Lees believe that production and sales could double after being on Shark Tank which is scheduled in December of 20XY. They want to be prepared for this. Based on the budgeted income statement calculated above for 20XY, create a new budgeted income for 20XZ assuming that the production and sales is double the level of 20XY.

6.    Incremental Analysis: If production does increase dramatically after their presentation on Shark Tank, the Lees will need more space for production. They have two options. Option 1 is to rent out a spacious warehouse nearby. If they pursue this option, there rent will be $1200 per month and utilities are estimated to cost an additional $350 per month. Their second option, Option 2, is to rent a smaller storefront space that is also nearby. The storefront rent is $1350 per month. However, utilities will likely only cost an additional $150 per month. They want to compare their options over one year’s time (since each rental contract is a 1 year commitment). What is the incremental analysis if the Lees choose Option 1 over Option 2?

7.    Break-Even Analysis: You have been asked to calculate how many units need to be sold to break even, based on the costs provided in task #3. Assume that only one conference will be attended and the estimated expenses associated with this conference are on target. Use the information in task #3 except do not consider taxes.)

8.    Contribution Margin: Based on the Break-Even Analysis just performed, what is the contribution margin per unit and the total contribution margin?

You will not need to hand this in; however, if you have it, I can let you know if you are on the right track with your ideas. If you don’t have it, I won’t be able to give you any feedback or suggestions on how to develop your ideas.

Step #1:  Write your thesis statement by answering the question directly.

Sample Thesis Statement

One positive and one negative point:

Mai Thi Kim made the right choice when she decided to send Heidi to the US because of ____________________________________; however, this choice also led to problems due to _______________________________.

Two positive points:

Heidi’s biological mother made the right choice by deciding to send her to the US for adoption because _____________________________ and _____________________________________.

Two negative points:

Mai Thi Kim’s choice to send Heidi to America for adoption was incorrect because ________________________________ and ____________________________________________.

Step #2:  Create a cluster to develop the two main supporting points that you mentioned in the thesis statement.  This will lead to important details, examples and explanation that you will need to support your main ideas.

Step #3:  Write two topic sentences.

Music can be used as an oral historian. We have discovered traditions that use music to preserve history. What does that mean and what does this mean to you? Talk about two different traditions (from two different continents) that are used in this way. Further, in what way do some popular forms of American music function within this scope? It is straightforward (literal) or is some cultural knowledge necessary? Explain this and be specific.

 ATTACHED IS CHAPTER 9 FOR THE FOUR PRINCIPLES AND THE TWO ARTICLES.

There are four general principles of effective intervention that have  become organizing concepts of community corrections. They have  stimulated what has become known as the “what works” movement. Prepare a  digital slide presentation outlining the four general principles of the  “what works” movement. For this assignment, you will prepare five  digital slides that consider perspectives on the potential merits and  limitations associated with each of the four general principles. It is  important to develop the ability to frame an approach to content in a  digital slide format. A digital slide format provides an opportunity to  succinctly summarize points and to organize your thoughts in a  compelling and coherent manner. Prior to beginning work on this  assignment, please complete the assigned readings in the Wright (2012)  text, Contemporary Prison Overcrowding: Short-Term Fixes to a Perpetual Problem (Pitts et al., 2014) and Assessing the Effectiveness of Correctional Sanctions (Cochran et al., 2014).

  • Analyze critical perspectives on the merits and drawbacks of each of the four general principles.
  • Interpret constitutional principles for social and criminal justice that relate to at least one of the four general principles.
  • Apply knowledge of cultural sensitivity and diversity awareness to a  program, policy, or practice in corrections relevant to at least one of  the four general principles.
  • Explain a criminal justice issue within the system of corrections relevant to at least one of the four general principles.

Presenting engaging multimedia content also improves learner retention  of information. Include visual enhancements in your presentation.  Include appropriate images, a consistent font, appropriate animations,  and transitions from content piece-to-content piece and slide-to-slide.  (Images should be cited in APA format as outlined by the Ashford Writing  Center guide to Tables, Images, & Appendices (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..)

  • Problem Statement Testing: Test your problem statement by using the following five problem restatement techniques by Jones (1998).
  • Why Ask Why: Review the original problem, ask why again and then answering that question, again asking why, and so on. (What’s at the bottom of the problem, underlying everything?)
  • Redirection: Change the overall focus of the problem. (What does it look like from another perspective?)
  • Broadening the Focus: Restate the problem in a larger context. (How is the problem part of the bigger picture?)
  • 180 Degree: Turn the problem completely around. (What is the opportunity here?)
  • Paraphrase: Restate the problem using different words. (What is really the issue?)

Note: Access and view the multimedia presentation Problem Restatement for guidance in your work.
