A company is launching a new sales initiative and expects sales of $446,838 during the first year, and the gross profit margin to be 25%. To prepare for this, they plan to acquire 49 days worth of inventory. Their vendor will allow 48 days to pay its invoices. The company plans to sell only on account to its customers, so sales will be entirely credit based, and the average invoice is expected to take 44 days to collect. What amount of net working capital should be included in the initial investment? Enter your answer as a monetary amount rounded to four decimal places, but without the currency symbol. For example, if your answer is $90.1234, enter 90.1234 Type your answer...
Assume you are thinking about starting a business and would like to forecast your cash needs for the next six months. You expect sales to be approximately $30,000 per month for the first 12 months and your purchases to support sales will be approximately 60% of sales. You anticipate about 20% of your sales will be cash and 80% collected the following month. Your supplier has agreed to extend credit for 70 days at no cost (i.e. you will pay your bills on a two month lag). Your monthly expenses for rent, wages, utilities, and so forth will be approximately $3,500 per month. You have deposited $15,000 in a checking account to begin your operations and would like to maintain a minimum balance of $5,000 in that account. 1. Explain the purpose of creating budgets and how your budget will help the business remain capitalized 2 . Will you need additional funds at some point? Justify your answer. 3. How would you raise capital in the future?
A CARDBOARD BOX FACTORY pays its suppliers 40 days after making the purchase and receiving the goods. The average collection period is 45 days, i.e. its customers settle their debt with the company in that time; and the average inventory age is based on the inventory turnover which is 10 times a year. The company spends about $1.23 million in operating cycle investments. With this data we need to calculate: The operating cycle.The cash conversion cycle.The cash turnover.The minimum cash balance.You plan to make modifications to your policies so that you can decrease your PPC by 10 days, and decrease your EPI by 2 times (before converting it to days). Negotiations with your supplier have been unsuccessful and the payment term has been reduced by 10 days. With these data you have to calculate: Re-calculate the Operating Cycle, the SCC, RC and SMC introducing the proposed changes.Calculate the opportunity cost that the changes will cause, if the company's interest rate is 8%.
