If the sales outlook for the coming three years was only 20,000,000 and B.E. continued producing at the rate of 30,000,000 units, a total of 10,000,000 units would be dumped into ending inventory at the end of each year once again reducing costs of goods sold and falsely increasing income. By the end of year 2013, B.E. Company would have 35,000,000 units sitting in ending inventory taking up space and costing money to store. Once again if the president’s bonus is based off of net income, this situation is the most favorable for a high paying bonus and encourages stockpiling inventory to inflate net income.
The constant growth model requires the dividends per share to grow at the constant rate indefinitely. This also states that the company always has to increase its earnings by the same constant rate every year so that the dividends payout will be at a constant growth. By the looking at what is required to satisfy the constant growth model, it is fair to say that many “real world” stocks cannot satisfy the constant growth assumption. The constant growth assumption can be met by large and companies who have been around for a long time. Because the assumption does not require for the growth to be at the same constant every year, instead it states that the best estimate of growth for any future year is the expected growth rate from the previous year.
This reduces the carrying costs of the inventory that is ordered as well as insuring that unused items are not held from month to month. A third way to increase working capital is to realign the billing and payment schedules for the company. Currently products are invoiced to customers at the end of the month with terms of net30. Suppliers invoice the company at the end of the month with terms of net15. This disparity of terms can impact working capital as money flows out in the middle of the month but does not flow in until the end of the month.
3.1.10 Cash Budget The cash budget is “an estimation of the cash inflows and outflows for a business for a specific period of time. Cash budget are used to assess whether the entity has sufficient cash to fulfil regular operations and whether too much cash is being left in unproductive capacities”. (Reference 2) The cash budget is prepared in advance for the first 6 months, and a cash deficit of £20,364 and £2,228 were incurred in January and February.

Incremental budgeting is when you take last year’s budget and add more or less to it depending on what you’re looking to do with your budget for the year. Some companies like this budget because if you’re meeting your budget every year it will stay the same. If you don’t use your budget it will reduce the next year. Some people
After-tax net cash flows are then expected to grow at a rate of 4% per year for 7 years, ending 8 years from today. In each year after that in perpetuity, after-tax net cash flows are expected to grow at a more sustainable rate of 2% per year. The project’s cost of capital is 15%. (a) [2] What is the terminal value of the project at the end of year 8? Terminal value at the end of year 8 is the value at that time of the after-tax net cash flows that the project is expected to provide after that date.
They gave a good estimate of how my decisions would affect business performance for the upcoming quarter. I was able to look at the pro-forma statements and make adjustments in my decisions before moving into the next quarter. For example, in quarter 2, I had decided to not add another sales site due to not having enough cash on hand. After looking over the pro-forma statements, I realized that I would have enough money to add another location for the next quarter and still have more than $300,000 cash left over at the end of the quarter. Operating efficiency was improved using just-in-time and lean operations techniques.

Jones decides to buy Smithon Corporation he should buy it with the exchange in stocks instead of buying the Corporation outright. This will lower his acquisition cost and in return lower his taxable income since there is no recognition of a gain or loss on an acquisition company with a stock-for-stock exchange. If he decides to buy Smithon Manufacturing he will be able to change it to and S Corp and follow the fiscal year ending on December 31st. By changing it to an S corporation he will have the profits go directly to his personal income and avoid double taxation. A merger would best be used in this situation since it will help lower his taxable income and he can improve his operations and competitiveness.
