Throughout the first fiscal period, each duo began off with $1500 and would have to invest their money in bank and capital. While on the first day, the group didn’t make any transactions since there were so many rules and steps to learn. This resulted in the game being paused to make sure the game was properly set up. At the day, every pair concluded the day with $1500 in the bank. There was no change in the capital since there was no transaction that affecting net profit or loss. All and all, the first day was to figure and understand the guidelines prior to playing
The second fiscal period had an abundance of transactions from the team repeatedly landing on multiple properties. The day started with $1500 in the bank and spent near all

The bank balance was low considering the assorted real estate acquired from Marvin Gardens, Kentucky Avenue, and North Carolina Avenue. Moreover, the properties generated $--- of revenue and a portion of $-- came from rent. Apart from revenue, there were various expenses to cover from the profuse real estate purchased. The luxury tax and rent expense carried an expensive price tag of $--. Even though the expense was quite high, the duo made a net profit of $--, ultimately expanding the capital to $2,067. In comparison to the second and third fiscal period, the bank account decreased only by $---, due to the costly properties. Despite the high costs, the amortization of land had increased by $600 from the previous fiscal period. Overall, the total revenue, net profit, and capital grew a slightly as expenses lugged them down.
The fourth fiscal period was quite like day two with several transactions occurring. First and foremost, the bank raised to $585 and the value of land increasing to $---. This intention was from the multiple properties purchase prior and incurred a debt of $--. The arrears were eventually paid by the end of the fiscal period or fourth fiscal period. Nonetheless, the continuation resulted in a revenue gain of $--- and went towards the total revenue. Despite, the revenue appearing high incurred in the many expenses, adding up to $---. Consequently, the opponents repeatedly landed on the other team’s property
The preparation for growth can be seen as East Coast Yachts increased their fixed assets by $60,000,000. However, they managed to reduce their cash flow by $6,786,000 through the sale of fixed assets. Although the investment of $53,214,000 appears significant, it can be seen as necessary if the company plans to grow and needs to keep up with increased demand.
Case 4: As of January 1, the Lohse Company owes the First Arbor Bank $350,000 which is due on December 31. Since Lohse seems unable to repay the note, the bank agreed that Lohse can “settle” this balance by agreeing to make four, annual installments on each of the next four years, provided that it adds a “due on
Table 7 in the detailed analysis above shows the summary of the Discounted Cash Flow analysis performed for each of the four potential properties considered for investment. From the chart below, we observe that of the four properties, TFB has the maximum increase in reversion value at the end of the holding period, i.e. 10years. On a primarily income generation potential basis, Alison Green, with a Net Present value of the future rents at $734.29 looks attractive among the four options. Looking at the Investment ranks of the four properties with Simple returns and Discounted returns variables, Alison
In Exhibit 2 we find the first-year project setups. This is important information because we can see how much each real estate property will cost in the first year. This information is also useful in setting up the projected cash flow analysis for each of the four properties. Alison Green had the greatest before tax cash flow with $434,306.53, Ivy Terrace came in second with before tax cash flows of 336,130.99, 900 Stony Walk came in third
The increase in its collection period was expected in 1993 due to the worsening economy. However, the economy is now improving and Haefren’s collection period is still increasing. This signals to inefficiencies within the company’s collection department. Perhaps, they should even consider increasing the down payment required to establish credit.
Shakespeare’s management uses $10 m from the modified line of credit to acquire Hamlet, a competitor publishing company. Management’s best estimate of the allocation of the $10 million purchase is as follows: $2 million of current assets and $8 million noncurrent assets (comprising $5 million of identifiable noncurrent assets, $2 million of intangible assets, and $1 million of goodwill). Hamlet’s prior-year
After analysis of Mr. Alexander’s proposal, it is obvious why he should take advantage of a real estate investment opportunity. The experience he would gain coupled with the added income would establish a solid foundation for making more investments in the future. To this end, however, I find Alexander’s plan for the Revere Street property falls short. A major deficiency is that his projections are almost entirely predicated on estimates and assumptions that are neither conservative nor reliable. In a similar vein, Alexander’s “DIY” approach is not only exemplar of naiveté, but also suggestive of many implications that were overlooked in his proposal. And, even more discouraging, a best-case scenario analysis reveals that even without
This case captures the problems concerning cash flow and working-capital management typical of small, growing businesses. At the end of 2005, Bob and Maggie Brown have completed their third year of operating Horniman Horticulture, a $1-million-revenue woody-shrub nursery in central Virginia. While experiencing booming demand and improving margins, the Browns are puzzled by their plummeting cash balance. The case highlights the difference between cash flow and accounting profits, as well as the common negative effects of growth on cash flow. It also provides a forum for instilling appreciation for the relevance of free cash flow to business owners and managers, introducing
In the beginning we were all confused as to how the game worked and where to begin. We looked at the various tutorials and the booklet to try and make some sense of it. Once we had some understanding, we tried to develop our strategy. In the first few rounds we understood it was important to have our company funded through stocks and long term debt. We issued stock the first
The statement of reserves should be reviewed, since the acquisition of the tavern, through the purchase of the seller’s interest, results in the buyer, Ms. Growne accepting both known and unknown liabilities of the business prior to her ownership. In addition, by reviewing the financial statements to look at the net operating gain or loss, Ms. Growne can determine if there is a loss she can offset against her other sources of income. For some individuals, the idea of being able to offset other income with these losses incurred prior to ownership is appealing, due to the tax benefit that may result. However, if the buyer does not have significate income to be offset or is not in a higher tax brackets, this benefit of the acquisition through interest becomes less attractive. In addition, if the sellers basis in the assets are significantly less than the assets fair market value, the buyer is likely to incur greater gains on the assets in the future, resulting in a higher taxable income and leading to negative tax implication. In contrast, if the assets of the business were purchased, the buyer would not be susceptible to prior liabilities and the seller must examine their basis for each asset, compare it with the assets current market value, and incur any applicable gains or losses, intern shifting the tax consequences of an increase in
Option 2 (Proceed with Mid-Rise Apartment Complex, Selling in Year 10): While replacing the current structure with a more appealing mid-rise apartment complex would increase the market value of the property, it would also require financing and additional investments. Thus far, Sexton has run into several problems, beginning with the planning commission, and now higher cost estimates, financing and timing issues. Even if Sexton were to obtain financing and somehow meet the January 2005 target date, his original estimates of rental income and cash flow analysis are still not guaranteed. Exhibit 2 provides a net present value range between 103,000 and $214,000 for proceeding with the mid-rise apartment complex and selling in year 10 based on a range of cap rates.
The productive assets of property, plant, and equipment changed dramatically in 1996 they were 5,581 to 2010 an increase to 21,706. In total current assets there was a increase in 1996 from 5,910 to in 2010 21,579. Another significant change is in long term debt in 1996 of 1,116 to in 2010 an increase to 14,041. Also an important figure to note is in the retained earning in 1996 they were 94% (15,127) to 2010 68%
Net book value at end of year 1 is $8,793. Less what you received on the sale $7,500. Gives you a disposal loss of $1,293 using the straight-line method of depreciation. You then add the disposal loss from the previous years depreciation $1,880, which results in a total income statement impact of $3,173.
Investing in my design for a hoverboard will be a stepping stone for the evolution of transportation as my method of levitation is simple and practical in comparison to others such as the use of super conductors which is essentially impractical as it has more constraints. Emissions from vehicles cause pollution and if the world will lean more towards magnetic levitation for vehicles, we can reduce our carbon footprint and we can utilize our energy efficiently as there will be no friction (besides drag) but less energy will be wasted on overcoming friction. Routes will use ferrous metals such as copper or Aluminium which will be easier to construct and maintain. Fuel costs will go down
