Chapter 15, Problem 15.26C
Case 15.26
LO 3
Flexible budgeting One of the significant costs for a nonpublic college or university is student aid in the form of gifts and grants awarded to students because of academic potential or performance, and/or financial need. Gifts and grants are only a part of a financial aid package, usually accounting for no more than 20% of the total package. Federal and state grants, other scholarships, loans, and income from work constitute the rest of financial aid, but these funds are not provided by the institution. Assume that for the 2016-2017 academic year, Wonder College had a gift and grant budget of $900,000 and that all of these funds had been committed to students by May 15, 2016. The college had capacity to enroll up to 200 additional students.
Required:
Explain why and how flexible budgeting should be applied by the management of Wonder College in administering its gift and grant awards budget.

Case 12: Southwest Airlines Capital Budgeting: One Project - Accept/Reject DecisionThe airline industry is extremely cyclical. That is, when the economy does well, so too do airlines. Inrecent years, the airline industry has found itself with too many seats and too few passengers. Someexperts point to the past deregulation of the industry while others argue that technological advances suchas teleconferencing are responsible. Several airlines such as Continental, America West, Eastern, andTrans World Airlines, have filed for Chapter 11Bankruptcy. Some have fully recovered, while others havebeen forced to liquidate (Chapter7). Narrowing profit margins have prompted airlines to develop creativesurvival tactics. Southwest Airlines has successfully found its niche in the industry by providing directflight service to less traveled routes such as those to and from smaller cities. Since these routes donotgenerate nearly as much revenue as major city routes, Southwest has found ways toreduce…

International capital budgeting Aa Aa One of the important components of multinational capital budgeting is to analyze the cash flows generated from subsidiary companies. Foreign governments often have restrictions on the amount of cash flows that the subsidiary company can repatriate to the parent company. Companies use different techniques to work around the restrictions. One such method is transfer pricing, which involves the subsidiary company obtaining raw materials from: A local vendor at a very low cost so that there is more profit left to repatriate The parent company at a high cost so that there is less profit left to repatriate The parent company at a very cost so that ther is more profit left to repatriate Consider this case: Sacramone Products Co. is a U.S. firm evaluating a project in Australia.

- Ch 11: Assignment - The Basics of Capital Budgeting 3. Understanding the IRR and NPV The net present value (NPV) and internal rate of return (IRR) methods of investment analysis are interrelated and are sometimes used together to make capital budgeting decisions. Consider the case of Cold Goose Metal Works Inc.: Last Tuesday, Cold Goose Metal Works Inc. lost a portion of its planning and financial data when both its main and its backup servers crashed. The company's CFO remembers that the internal rate of return (IRR) of Project Omicron is 13.2%, but he can't recall how much Cold Goose originally invested in the project nor the project's net present value (NPV). However, he found a note that detailed the annual net cash flows expected to be generated by Project Omicron.
