This case is a manufacturer and could make specialty bikes, ski or outdoor equipment, computers, food like chocolates, saltwater taffy, cookies, or donuts, etc.
Create the balance sheet, income statement, and statement of the cash flow from the following information.
Use the following information for the learning experiences
Sales volume units = 11,000
Sales price/unit = $100
Variable manufacturing costs/unit = $60
Fixed manufacturing costs = $210,000
Fixed sales & administration costs = $190,000
Business income tax rate = 25%
Current assets = $250,000 (Cash $50,000, Accounts Receivables $100,000, Inventory $100,000)
Fixed assets = $750,000

FunTime Cruiseline offers nightly dinner cruises departing from several cities on the east-
ern coast of the United States including Charleston, Baltimore, and Alexandria. Dinner
cruise tickets sell for $50 per passenger. FunTime Cruiseline's variable cost of providing
the dinner is $30 per passenger, and the fixed cost of operating the vessels (depreciation,
salaries, docking fees, and other expenses) is $210,000 per month. The company's rel-
evant range extends to 20,000 monthly passengers.
GRAPHICAL METHOD: A school is preparing a trip for 400 students. The
company who is providing the transportation has 10 buses of 50 seats
each and 8 buses of 40 seats, but only has 9 drivers available. The rental
cost for a large bus is $800 and $600 for the small bus. Calculate how
many buses of each type should be used for the trip for the least possible
cost. Attach the PDF or JPEG file of the solution made. *

- Thames Assurance Company sells a variety of life and health insurance products. Recently, Thames developed a long-term care policy for sale to members of university and college alumni associations. Thames estimated that the sale and service of this type of policy would be subject to a 90 percent cumulative average-time learning curve model. Each unit consists of 350 policies sold. The first unit is estimated to take 1,000 hours to sell and service. Required: 1. Set up a table with columns for cumulative number of units, cumulative average time per unit in hours, and the cumulative total time in hours. Complete the table for 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32 units. 2. Suppose that Thames revises its assumption to an 80 percent learning curve. How will this affect the amount of time needed to sell and service eight units? How do you suppose that Thames estimates the percent learning rate?arrow_forwardRequired information Learning Objective 05-P2: Compute the break-even point for a single-product company. A company's break-even point for a period is the sales volume at which total revenues equal total costs. To compute a break-even point in terms of sales units, we divide total fixed costs by the contribution margin per unit. To compute a break-even point in terms of sales dollars, divide total fixed costs by the contribution margin ratio.

The profit per night for each type of room and rental class is as follows: Type I rooms do not have high-speed wireless Internet access and are not available for the Business rental class. Round Trees management makes a forecast of the demand by rental class for each night in the future. A linear programming model developed to maximize profit is used to determine how many reservations to accept for each rental class. The demand forecast for a particular night is 130 rentals in the Super Saver class, 60 in the Deluxe class, and 50 in the Business class. Round Tree has 100 Type I rooms and 120 Type II rooms. a. Formulate and solve a linear program to determine how many reservations to accept in each rental class and how the reservations should be allocated to room types. b. For the solution in part (a), how many reservations can be accommodated in each rental class? Is the demand for any rental class not satisfied? c. With a little work, an unused office area could be converted to a rental room. If the conversion cost is the same for both types of rooms, would you recommend converting the office to a Type I or a Type II room? Why? d. Could the linear programming model be modified to plan for the allocation of rental demand for the next night? What information would be needed and how would the model change?arrow_forward
