Your probationary period at the Cosmo K Manufacturing Group continues. Your supervisor, Gerry, assigns you a project each week to test your competence in finance. The company is considering the addition of a new office machine that will perform many of the tasks now performed manually. For this week’s task, Gerry has given you the responsibility of evaluating the cash flows associated with the new machine. He has requested the report to be delivered within the week. Evaluation of a New Office Machine The Cosmo K Manufacturing Group currently has sales of $1,400,000 per year. It is considering the addition of a new office machine, which will not result in any new sales but will save the company $105,500 before taxes per year over its 5-year useful life. The machine will cost $300,000 plus another $12,000 for installation. The new asset will be depreciated using a modified accelerated cost recovery system (MACRS) 5-year class life. It will be sold for $25,000 at the end of 5 years. Additional inventory of $11,000 will be required for parts and maintenance of the new machine. The company evaluates all projects at this risk level using an 11.99% required rate of return. The tax rate is expected to be 35% for the next decade. Tasks: Answer the following questions: What is the total investment in the new machine at time = 0 (T = 0)? What are the net cash flows in each of the 5 years of operation? What are the terminal cash flows from the sale of the asset at the end of 5 years? What is the NPV of the investment? What is the IRR of the investment? What is the payback period for the investment? What is the profitability index for the investment? According to the decision rules for the NPV and those for the IRR, is the project acceptable? Is there a conflict between the two decision methods? If so, what would you use to make a recommendation? What are the pros and cons of the NPV and the IRR? Explain your answers. Submission Details: Show the data used and the calculations for each question in a Microsoft Excel sheet and the analysis in a Microsoft Word document.

The purpose of this assignment is for students to utilize critical thinking skills to understand the information contained within a company’s financial statements and how they articulate with each other.  Assignment Steps: Develop a 700-word evaluation (keep it right around 700 words) on the Overview of Financial Statements using the following as guides:  Locate a financial statement (income statement, balance sheet, statement of cash flow) for a public company. If possible, choose a company similar to one you wish to create or work for one day. You will find the information needed on their annual report. Use numbers from the most recent annual report, not a quarterly report, but the annual report. What do the financial statements say about this company in general? Identify the salient information contained in the financial statements (income statement, balance sheet, statement of cash flow). Identify the company’s net income (income statement), total assets (balance sheet), and total net cash flow (statement of cash flow). I’m looking for numbers here. Explain how financial statements (income, balance, statement of cash flow) are connected to each other. Examine the importance and the relevance of financial statements for the entrepreneur. Cite a minimum of one peer reviewed reference from the University Library.  Format the assignment consistent with APA guidelines.  Submit your assignment. Resources

Little State University Budgeting Crisis You have been hired by AD Beth Duncan to submit a budget proposal that will balance LSU’s budget in the face of state budget cuts.  Your final case presentation includes two parts:  (1) an Excel budget that shows the balanced budget and conforms to the guidelines presented in the case; and (2) a conference call with “Beth” (aka Emily) to present your plan.  In your conference call, you will have 15 minutes for prepared remarks and a maximum of 15 minutes of Q&A.  The length of Q&A will depend on the thoroughness of your prepared remarks.  You may wish to use a visual presentation to accompany your prepared remarks, but this is not required. Utilize the accompanying Excel-based budget file (found on canvas) to balance the budget minus the loss of income from the state legislature. Be sure to eliminate the deficit and, preferably, budget for a moderate surplus in case next year’s revenues fall short of expectations or costs exceed projections. Also, make sure the gender disparity of males’ and females’ participation opportunities are no worse than the status quo and ideally within the five percent range.  As stated in the case, you are limited from balancing the budget through increased revenues, as revenue streams have already been maximized. Keep in mind that budgeting is a political, as well as financial process, and you will have to provide a sound rationale for the choices you make (and defend yourself in the meeting with Beth).   Questions to consider in preparation of the case:   What overall philosophies guided your decision making in balancing the budget? In this regard, what priorities did you establish in advance dealing with issues such as the following: a. Making cuts equally across all sports versus cutting more funding from some sports than others? b. Eliminating one or more sports programs altogether in order to preserve the budgets of the remaining sports versus cutting expenses from many programs in order to avoid eliminating programs? c. Making cuts in sports programs versus in administrative areas? d. Weighing short-term versus long-term implications of cuts being made? e. The degree to which Title IX and gender equity played a role in deciding which cuts to make? f. Accepting the offer of a guarantee to play a football game at Mid-Sized State University versus the impact of likely adding a loss to the LSU football team’s record as a result?

In this assignment, you will consider the impact of COVID-19 on financial issues in the sport industry.  In 2-3 pages (500-750 words), discuss what the most significant impacts of the pandemic on the ways that sport organizations are financed and managed.  Some questions that you might consider: ·       What should sport organizations do to maintain financial stability and prepare for future growth? What should they stop doing?  ·       What are opportunities to monetize innovations prompted by the pandemic? ·       What aspects of the sport industry will thrive in the new landscape? What segments of the sport industry will fail? ·       How will changes in consumer needs and preferences affect the ways in which we finance the sport industry? The above list is not comprehensive.  You may choose to answer one of these questions, a few of these questions, or none of these questions.  The key is to integrate the information shared by industry experts with your own thoughts and the knowledge gained over the course of the last five weeks.
