Part 1. From the information given below construct ECL company cash budget for six months period starting from January 2020 till June 2020.

ECL all sales are made on credit terms of 2/10, net 30, meaning that a 2 percent discount is allowed if payment is made within 10 days, and, if the discount is not taken, the full amount is due in 30 days. However, like most companies, ECL finds that some of its customers delay payment up to 60 days. Experience has shown that payment on 30 percent of ECL’s dollar sales is made during the month in which the sale is made — these are the discount sales. On 70 percent of sales, payment is made during the month immediately following the month of sale. 


The costs to ECL materials average 60 percent of the sales prices of the finished products. These purchases are generally made one month before the firm expects to sell the finished products, but ECL’s purchase terms with its suppliers allow 40% on cash on the purchased date and 60% to delay payments for 30 days. Accordingly, if January sales are forecasted at $100 million, then purchases during December will amount to $60 million and out of this $24 million of cash will be paid on December and the remaining $36 million will actually be paid in January.


ECL makes estimated tax payments of $12 million on February and $15 million on May. Also, a $70 million payment for a new plant must be made in April and $25 million payment for research and development must be made in March. Assuming that ECL’s target cash balance is $8 million, and that it projects $10 million to be on hand on January 1, 2020, what will its monthly cash surpluses or short falls are for the period from January to June? 

Such other cash expenditures as wages, lease payments and other expenses are also built into the cash budget along with gross sales as follows


Months 

(in 2002) sales wage s. lease pay. Oth.

December $250

January $350 $35 $12 $7

February $350 $60 $12 $15

March $400 $150 $12 $15

April $400 $155 $12 $12

May $400 $110 $12 $9

June $450 $65 $12 $8

July $300

N.B  the projected sales and projected expenditure are in Million dollars.

 

Part 2. Optimum Cash balance 

1. Green Incorporation has an annual cash demand of $1.5 million. Transaction cost is given as $ 100 per purchase or sale of securities. Interest on borrowings is given as 10 percent. Determine constant cash injections, using Baumol model.

2. OMEGA Investments Incorporation has an annual cash demand of $ 500,000. Transaction cost is given as $ 150 per purchase or sale of securities. Interest on borrowings is given as 8 percent. Determine constant cash injections, using Baumol model.

3. ABC Limited sets its minimum cash balance as $ 2,000 and estimates the following:

Transaction cost per sale/purchase = $ 10 

Standard deviation………………. = $ 1,000 per day

Interest rate ……………………… = 10.95 percent per annual. Or  0.03 per day

     Calculate the spread using Miller-Orr model?



How can I add account balances from a following openIng balance from the trial balance


second question what it means finishing a history in a sage 50


Regarding the information provided below, propose the entries to post for each of the sections:

  1. a) We start a consultancy company with the legal minimum cash contribution. The share capital is €350,000 and the formalisation costs are 2% of the share capital. We account for the issuance and subscription, as well as the disbursement. We decide to use annual accounting.
  2. b) We require that all shareholders contribute the pending share capital (uncalled capital). They do so after one week. We account for the two moments separately.
  3. c) Since the business is going very well, we decide to pay an interim dividend for a total of €2,700. One week later, we make the payments with a 21% withholding. We account for the decision and payment separately.
  4. d) The following year, we hold an annual general meeting. The profit from the previous year was €95,500 and we decide to apply it as follows:
  • to the legal reserve (in accordance with Spanish legal regulations)
  • dividends: 2% of share capital (including interim dividend)
  • to the voluntary reserve: the remainder
  1. e) We increase the capital by €100,000 with an additional premium that we must calculate. Contributions are in cash and for the legal minimum. We account for each of the steps: issue; subscription; and disbursement.





Company X wants to increase its capital to finance the international expansion included in its strategic plan for the period X6-X9. To do so, the company is considering the incorporation of a new shareholder that subscribes 80,000 new shares.

Equity for Company X before this capital increase is:

Capital 3,000,000 (300,000 shares, €10 par value each)

Reserves 1,200,000

Current shareholders do not wish that this capital increase damages the net book value of their current shares.

Required

Can you record the corresponding entry/ies for this capital increase knowing that the new shareholder will pay out the legal minimum required at the same moment as the capital increase, and that he/she will pay the rest within the next two months?

Questions:

1. What is the net book value of a share of Company X before and after the capital increase?

2. Discuss the difference between book value and market value
