Team Project – Real-world scenario related to decision making for financial managers

Instructions

Students are expected to use and master Excel during their UMGC program.  Tutorials are available in the UMGC classrooms along expectations for basic competencies.

The teams will be assigned in Week 4 and will be due in Week 11. The Team Project gives students the opportunity to work on a real-world scenario related to decision making for financial managers. Team size will be determined by the number of enrolled students at the end of week 3. Students will coordinate and assign tasks to team members. This is an opportunity to further expand the abilities of the students to coordinate a project and work together to successfully meet deadlines.

In most cases all group members receive the same grade. However, occasionally, the professor may choose to assign different grades to each student based on their contribution to the project.

With that being said I’m behind the power curve in the attached documents you find the responsibilities of my classmates and mine (tyrone) I need your assistance in providing my portion to the team rather quickly to meet our suspense.  Below you find role and responsibilities along with background on the secanrio.  The attached powerpoint will also need to be completed my portion only.

GROUP PROJECT

Scenario: Your team has been hired to provide financial analysis for a start-up company, Bobble in Style, which produces customized bobble heads. The bobble heads are made out of less rigid materials and are more true to life than those of competitors. The company inventors, Mr. and Mrs. Lee, are going to pitch their idea to Shark Tank in a few months, but first they need to have a better understanding of the business financials. The Lee’s are already creating and selling their product from their home-based office and work area. They know what costs are involved with making the bobble heads on a small scale, but they don’t have an understanding of financial figures beyond basic costs. They need you to make sense of various financial figures for them.

The Project: There are several financial analysis tasks involved with this project, which are outlined below (#1-8). Once you have worked through each task, you will need to produce a PowerPoint presentation to introduce and highlight your findings. Your PowerPoint presentation should include a title slide, an executive summary slide(s), subsequent slides that illustrate your findings, any additional recommendations that you would like to make, and a conclusion slide. The PowerPoint presentation should be approximately 15-25 slides in length. Include notes in the presentation as needed. You will also need to create a written executive summary (one page in length). Your final submission will include the PowerPoint presentation, the executive summary, and an Excel file with relevant calculations. The specific financial analysis tasks and related information are listed below (#1-8).

Working in a Group: Your instructor will assign you into a group during Week 4. This allows time for students to drop/add during the first 3 weeks of the course. Starting early will allow for adequate time to develop timelines and assign responsibilities as a team. Group Projects provide the opportunity to work with your classmates and are a necessary part of the Financial Management workforce. Please use this occasion to demonstrate your strengths and allow group members to do the same. Critically thinking and creativity are vital to your success in the work place and this project is a great chance to build those talents.

It is a group project so you will need to coordinate with various members of your group on how to progress with the project. Often students are reluctant to work in groups, but as you have experienced in the workplace, working in a group will not be an option. You will learn together and find out more about flexibility and sharing of responsibilities with the project. All team members should contribute to the financial analysis tasks. A timeline for completion of these tasks should be determined by the team. The completed PowerPoint presentation should be cohesive and professional in appearance. You may decide to split the Executive Summary and PowerPoint presentations between all members, or you may decide to have 2 students focus on the Executive Summary Word document and content for the associated PowerPoint slide while the rest of the team members focus on the PowerPoint presentation. The decision should be based on what works best for your team. Also determine a timeline for this portion of the assignment. Consider how editing will be done within your team. Use the grading rubric to help guide your work!

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.

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 %

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.

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

  • Financial Ratios: Calculate the following financial ratios and explain the meaning of the results.
  • Net Profit MarginQuick RatioDebt-to-Equity Ratio

  • 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.
  • Cost of goods sold of $35 per unit
  • 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.
  • Advertising fees = $3,000
  • Bank fees = $200
  • Phone/internet = $150 per month
  • Shipping = $3 per unit
  • Utilities = $100 per month
  • Office Supplies = $900
  • Conference Exhibitor Fee = $3000
  • Travel Expenses for Conference (e.g. airfare, meals, taxi) = $1200
  • 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 $52000. It is expected that the new piece of equipment will lead to cash flows of $17000, $23000, and $30000 over the next 3 years. If the appropriate discount rate is 8%, what is the NPV of this investment? Explain the findings.
  • 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.

  • 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 $2400 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 $1950 per month. However, utilities will likely only cost an additional $250 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?
  • 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.)

    Executive Summary
    • Our team has been hired to provide financial analysis for a start-up company, Bobble in
    Style, which produces customized bobble heads. The bobble heads are made out of less rigid
    materials and are more true to life than those of competitors. The company inventors, Mr. and
    Mrs. Lee, are going to pitch their idea to Shark Tank in a few months, but first they need to
    have a better understanding of the business financials. The Lee’s are already creating and
    selling their product from their home-based office and work area. They know what costs are
    involved with making the bobble heads on a small scale, but they don’t have an
    understanding of financial figures beyond basic costs. They need you to make sense of
    various financial figures for them.
    Income Statement
    • The income statement or
    profit and loss statement
    ( P & L) shows a
    company’s financial
    performance over a
    specific period. It details
    how revenue is
    transformed into net
    income, portraying the
    company’s profitability.
    • Assesses company’s
    operational efficiency,
    provides insight into
    revenue streams and cost
    management. It also helps
    compare performances
    over different periods of
    time.
    Cash Flow Statement
    • The cash flow statement
    details the inflows and
    outflows of cash over a
    specific period. It’s divided
    into three mains sections.
    As shown, they are the
    operating, investing, and
    financial activities.
    • Helps assess liquidity,
    solvency and financial
    health. Its also critical for
    evaluating a company’s
    ability to generate cash to
    fund operations, pay debts,
    and return value to
    shareholders.
    Balance Sheet
    • The balance sheet
    provides a snapshot of
    a company’s financial
    position at a specific
    point in time. It helps
    stakeholders assess the
    company’s liquidity,
    financial fleixibily,
    and capital structure.
    • Provides insight into
    what the company
    owes and owns.
    Net Profit Margin
    • Net profit margin is calculated by dividing the net profit
    (profit after tax) by the net sales and multiplying by 100 to
    get a percentage:
    • Net Profit $11,648/Net Sales $ 33,600=.35*100
    • Net profit margin = 35%
    Quick Ratio
    Quick ratio = Current assets – inventories / Current
    liabilities (Nothing listed in file)
    $27,148.00 – $10,500 / 0
    Debt-to-Equity Ratio
    • In order to calculate debt to equity ratio you divide the
    total liabilities by stock holders equity
    Cost Classification
    Activity
    Labor = $400/month
    Advertising fees =$3000
    Bank fees = $200
    Phone/internet = $150 per month
    Utilities = $100 per month
    Office supplies = $900
    Conference Exhibitor Fee = $3000
    Travel Expense (e.g. airfare, meals, taxi) = $1200
    Cost of goods sold ($35 per unit, all variable costs) = $12600
    b) part time employee $10 per hour, 40 hours per month
    Shipping ($3 per unit) = $1260

    Cost Classification (Con’t)
    • Fixed Cost (Remains constant regardless of production level)

    Knowing and understanding the fixed cost helps with operating the cost
    from a fundamental baseline of what expenses need to be covered.
    • Variable Cost (Fluctuates with the level of sales or production)

    A crucial part of budgeting comes with knowing how to manage the
    changes in variable cost to direct the flow of activity level in production or
    sales. Understanding variable cost can also help evaluate the business
    present position and predict expense associated with scaling productions or
    sales.
    Distinguish Fixed cost and Variable cost
    • Knowing what price to set products at for profit is important for growth. Strategically pricing to cover
    fixed cost while making a profit will take knowing the contribution margin . Sales price minus the variable
    cost will include knowing the break-even point through determining what prices to set for products to turn
    a profit.
    • Understanding the cost and structure of the business is crucial to forecasting and planning potential
    outcomes. Recognizing and analyzing changes in sales volume associated with production helps divide the
    fixed cost and variable cost to determine what changes can be implemented to affect sales. Fixed cost can’t
    be changed or remain constant whereas variable cost can be adjusted for improvement in efficiency.
    • Identifying the changes needed helps the operational flow of sales by using the information of fixed cost to
    determine how to better utilize strategies for operations. To maintain a level of efficiency or implement
    operational strategies, fixed cost can be incentivized to increase production to spread load cost over
    different areas of operation to reduce cost.
    Bobby Employees
    Fixed Cost:
    • Labor =$400 per month for one part time
    employee
    • Impact of 2 part timers:
    • Fixed labor cost increase to $800
    • Production implications:
    • Increase production and sales = higher revenue
    assuming demand supports the increased output
    Variable Cost:
    • Part time employee wages =$10 per hour at
    40 hours a month month for one part time
    employee; total 400 per month for labor
    • Impact of 2 part timers:
    • increased variable cost of labor, potential
    increase the production capacity which can
    be leveraged t generate more sales
    Net Present Value
    • In order to calculate Net Present Value (NPV) of the new equipment
    details
    • Initial Investment
    • Expected future cash flows from the investment
    • Required rate of turn
    • =17000/1.08+23000/1.08^2+30,000/1.08^3
    • =$59,274.50



    NPV=Present value of inflows-Present value of outflows.
    =59,274.50 – 52000
    =$7,274.50

    Since NPV is positive the project should be accepted.

    Note: Budget includes additional part time employee
    New equipment depreciation over a span of 5 years
