Explanation of Solution

A budget is an estimate for the takeover and use of financial and other resources, for example, a year, a month or a quarter, over a specified period of time. Budgeting is a method of having one or more budgets prepared. Budgeting is the method of drawing up a budget or more.

Non-profit organizations are privately held corporations that do not provide financial benefits to their members or creditors and are formed for public or mutual benefit other than to generate profits for shareholders or investors whereas a business enterprise is a for-profit entity associated with the production, selling or distribution of goods or services.

A cash budget illustrates the effects of all budgeted activities on cash. The cash budget draws data from nearly every part of the master budget. Preparing a cash budget requires that all budgets be carefully reviewed to recognize all revenues, expenses, and other cash-influencing operations. It includes three major sections which are as follows:

  • Net cash flows from operating activities;
  • Net cash flows from investing activities; and
  • Net cash flows from financing activities

The cash budget will provide data to the user related to the company's cash management capability.

The budget for cash receipts provides details of anticipated cash collections from operations for a coming period. Cash receipts from investment and fundraising activities are shown on the cash budget elsewhere. It has three different sources of cash receipts from operations:

  • Cash sales,
  • Bank credit card sales, and
  • Collection of credit sales (i.e., sales made by the company on “open account”).

The cash budget for the health club, T-F, a not not-for-profit family-oriented health club for the year 2018 is shown below:

A budget is an estimate for the takeover and use of financial and other resources, for example, a year, a month or a quarter, over a specified period of time. Budgeting is a method of having one or more budgets prepared. Budgeting is the method of drawing up a budget or more.

Non-profit organizations are privately held corporations that do not provide financial benefits to their members or creditors and are formed for public or mutual benefit other than to generate profits for shareholders or investors whereas a business enterprise is a for-profit entity associated with the production, selling or distribution of goods or services.

A cash budget illustrates the effects of all budgeted activities on cash. The cash budget draws data from nearly every part of the master budget. Preparing a cash budget requires that all budgets be carefully reviewed to recognize all revenues, expenses, and other cash-influencing operations. It includes three major sections which are as follows:

  • Net cash flows from operating activities;
  • Net cash flows from investing activities; and
  • Net cash flows from financing activities

The cash budget will provide data to the user related to the company's cash management capability.

The budget for cash receipts provides details of anticipated cash collections from operations for a coming period. Cash receipts from investment and fundraising activities are shown on the cash budget elsewhere. It has three different sources of cash receipts from operations:

  • Cash sales,
  • Bank credit card sales, and
  • Collection of credit sales (i.e., sales made by the company on “open account”).

The following are the operational issues which the T-F, a family-oriented health club will experience:

  • The cash contribution from lessons and classes will decline as the estimated salary rise for lesson and class workers is considerably higher than the expected sales rises (i.e., in additional volume). Last year, $39,000 ($234,000 – $195,000) was the cash generated from those activities. The projection for 2018 is just $12,675 ($304,200 − $291,525).
  • Operating costs increase faster than membership fee revenues. The cash produced from routine operations last year (2017) was $91,000 [($355,000 + $2,000) – ($461,000 – $195,000)]. The forecast for 2015 is just $92,482 [($402,215 + $2,667) − ($603,925-$ 291,525)]. The rise in cash from daily activities is estimated to be about 4%, although such sales are projected to increase by 13%.
  • T-F Health Club appears to get an issue with cash management. The club is not producing enough cash from the activities to meet its financial obligations. Unless the pattern persists, it may not be able to reach expenses for regular operations. The club will plan monthly cash budgets to assist with cash management in order to prevent cash crises.
  • It is estimated that non-operational expenditures would use nearly all the cash generated from operations. Given the recent drop in mortgage interest rates, management may consider refinancing this debt in order to reduce the cash drain.

The concern of person, JC about the Board’s growth goals is warranted. Budget forecasts for 2018 indicate only a small improvement in the cash balance (i.e., a rise of just $2,757).

The estimated cash available is well short of the additional $60,000 in annual cash required to buy land. If the board wants to buy the adjacent land, it may have to accept fee increases, refinancing current debt, or other means of funding the transaction (such as new mortgage debt or membership bonds).

Consider a four-year project with the following information: Initial fixed asset investment = $555,000; straight-line depreciation to zero over the four-year life; zero salvage value; price = $37; variable costs = $25; fixed costs = $230,000; quantity sold = 79,000 units; tax rate = 24 percent. How sensitive is OCF to changes in quantity sold?
Light emitting diodes (LED) light bulbs have become required in recent years, but do they make financial sense? Suppose a typical 60-watt incandescent light bulb costs $.39 and lasts 1,000 hours. A 15-watt LED, which provides the same light, costs $3.10 and lasts for 12,000 hours. A kilowatt-hour of electricity costs $.115. A kilowatt-hour is 1,000 watts for 1 hour. If you require a return of 11 percent and use a light fixture 500 hours per year, what is the equivalent annual cost of each light bulb? Note: A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.
Recently, Abercrombie & Fitch has been implementing a turnaround strategy since its sales had been falling for the past few years (11% decrease in 2014, 8% in 2015, and just 3% in 2016.) One part of Abercrombie's new strategy has been to abandon its logo-adorned merchandise, replacing it with a subtler look. Abercrombie wrote down $20.6 million of inventory, including logo-adorned merchandise, during the year ending January 30, 2016. Some of this inventory dated back to late 2013. The write-down was net of the amount it would be able to recover selling the inventory at a discount. The write-down is significant; Abercrombie's reported net income after this write-down was $35.6 million. Interestingly, Abercrombie excluded the inventory write-down from its non-GAAP income measures presented to investors; GAAP earnings were also included in the same report. Question: From an investor standpoint, do you think that the effect of the inventory write-down should be considered when…
