Harvey’s Budget1
Harvey Manufacturing manufactures and sells
two industrial products: a
self-balancing screw driver and a self-balancing saw. Both products are manufactured in a single
plant.
Harvey’s general manager, Mr. Lipscomb, and
president, Mr. Owens, want a budget prepared for the fiscal year 2013. They have asked various employees to gather
information that they believe will be necessary for preparation of a
budget. The information is presented
below.
Neither Mr. Lipscomb nor Mr. Owens is
skilled in budget preparation. Both
executives have used budgets and have participated to some degree in budget
preparation in prior years, but neither has prepared a full budget.
Sales and selling price per unit
Historical sales for 2012 the two products are
shown below.
Harvey’s sales typically peak in the summer
months, beginning with May. Harvey’s
general manager, Mr. Lipscomb, recommends that the budget be prepared with the
units sold in the high sales months of May, June, and July be used as the bases
for determining the annual forecast. Mr.
Lipscomb’s recommendation is that annual sales be budgeted at 64,000 per month
for screwdrivers and 42,000 per month for saws.
Mr. Lipscomb also believes that the
budgeted selling price per unit should be equal to the highest selling price
that could be achieved in 2012. He would
like to budget 102 per unit for screwdrivers and 130 per unit for saws. Mr. Lipscomb states that his management team
experimented with pricing in the prior year, beginning with the first month of
the year.
You review the unit sales and unit selling
price information for 2012 and recommend a budget based on 60,000 units of
screwdrivers at 100 each and 40,000 units of saws at 125 each. Mr. Lipscomb challenges your conclusion. Likewise Mr. Owens, the company president, would
like to hear an explanation of the budget numbers and how or why you calculated
those numbers.
Production Requirements
Each unit produced requires the following
materials, labor, and overhead, all of which is variable.
Inventories
Inventories are listed below. The beginning inventories are the actual
amounts on hand at the beginning of the year.
The ending inventories shown are the amounts that the operations manager
has determined to be necessary to ensure smooth production processes.
Other information
Fixed
manufacturing overhead
Fixed
manufacturing overhead is 214,000, including 156,000 of non-cash expenditures.
Fixed
manufacturing overhead is allocated on total units produced.
Beginning cash
is 1,800,000.
Sales are on
credit. Sales are collected 50 percent
in the current period and the remainder in the next period. There are no bad debts.
Sales for the
last quarter were 8,400,000.
Purchases for
direct materials and labor costs are paid for in the quarter acquired.
Manufacturing
overhead expenses are paid in the quarter incurred.
Selling and
administrative expenses are all fixed and are paid in the quarter incurred.
Estimated
selling and administrative expenses for the next period are 340,000 per
quarter, including 90,000 of depreciation.
REQUIREMENTS:
1. Prepare a sales budget in good form.
2. Prepare a narrative report explaining how your
sales budget was determined. Use the
table above in your analysis.
(Hint: Many companies would
develop their budgets using average sales and average unit costs.)
Whatever budget
determination method you use should be explained. In your explanation, you should include a
discussion of why you believe sales and selling prices fluctuated last year.
3. Prepare a production budget in units.
4. Prepare a purchases budget.
Remember that you will need to purchase enough materials to have the
required ending inventories shown. You
will also need to purchase enough to manufacture and sell the products on your
sales forecast. Do not forget that you
have beginning inventories.
5. Prepare a narrative report explaining how you
prepared the purchases budget. Be as
detailed as necessary to be sure that the president and general manager will
understand the calculations and costs.
6. Prepare a budgeted income statement.
7. Prepare a
contribution margin income statement.
8. Prepare a narrative report explaining how the
expenses on the income statement were determined.
9. Prepare a cash
budget. Be sure that you show all cash
inflows and outflows.
10. Prepare a narrative report explaining your cash
budget process.
11. If necessary,
prepare a capital expenditure budget. Explain your entries. Use only the facts in this case to prepare
the budget.
Summary:
Your finished case will consist of six or seven budgets (a
sales budget, a production budget in units, a purchases budget, a budgeted
income statement, a contribution margin income statement, a cash budget, and,
if necessary, a capital expenditure budget.)
You will also have four or five narrative
reports (a sales budget report, a purchases budget report, an income statement
report, a cash budget report, and an explanation of your capital budget, if
necessary).
Narrative reports are reports that are in
the form or a white paper that clearly explains the numeric entries on your
budgets. The length of the narrative
reports will depend on the particular report.
In general, you should be able to prepare the sales budget report on one
or two pages, the purchases budget report on one or two pages, the income statement
report on one page, and the cash budget report on one page. In this case, the capital budget report would
be less than one page. You should not
worry if one of your reports is more or less than the recommendation given
here—just be sure you cover all of the important points and satisfactorily
explain the numeric entries in your budget.
Also, be sure you explain the process of “how” your numbers were
determined. In this regard, it is not
necessary or desirable to explain the exact calculations. Consider your audience and prepare a report
that would be suitable for executives making plans and decisions for the
upcoming year.

I'M LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO KNOWS A LOT ABOUT MOVIESANALYSIS - New HollywoodAs you probably already know, the criteria for your next analysis is to find a film that mimics the hallmarks of those made from roughly 1967 - 1975 (defined as the New Hollywood) and what is often referred to as the Golden Age of Filmmaking. What you want to look for in your movie is listed here:Demonstrate your knowledge of the influence of the quintessential New Hollywood filmmakers (approximately 1967 – 1975) by comparing the hallmark styles and techniques of those pictures (use One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest or The Graduate) with a relatively current (released in the last three years) film. Some of the things to look for would be:Theme of rebellionA hero fighting the system and losingStory lines emphasizing the loss of innocence“Anti-Heroes” that the audience is rooting for“The Establishment” as the enemyDowner endingsPopular music soundtracksOften stylish, fast-cutting, consciously showy filmmaking

Bethel University Florida Stand Your Ground Laws
1. Capstone Case: Tennessee v. ReevesTracie Reeves and Molly Coffman, both twelve years of age and students at West Carroll Middle School, spoke on the telephone and decided to kill their homeroom teacher, Janice Geiger. The girls agreed that Coffman would bring rat poison to school the following day so that it could be placed in Geiger’s drink. The girls also agreed that they would thereafter steal Geiger’s car and drive to the Smoky Mountains. Reeves then contacted Dean Foutch, a local high school student, informed him of the plan, and asked him to drive Geiger’s car. Foutch refused this request. Reeves and Coffman were found to be delinquent by a Juvenile Court based on a conviction of attempt to commit second-degree murder. The question is whether the students engaged in enough activity to constitute an attempt offense. Did you find enough evidence that the girls had taken a substantial step toward the commission of a targeted offense?What test does the court establish for Tennessee to determine if a substantial step has been taken?Do you find that the court, in using common law rules of construction, modifies the legislative enactment of the attempt statute?Minimum of 500 word count. APA format, scholarly sources withing past 7 years.2. Read and compare the court’s opinion in United States v. Gladish, 536 F.3d 646 (7th Cir. 2008), involving an alleged attempt to have sexual conduct with a minor. What factors did the court consider in determining whether Gladish engaged in a substantial step toward sexual activity with a minor?Minimum of 500 word count. APA format, scholarly sources withing past 7 years.3. Capstone Case: United States v. ThomasOn October 30th, 1990, Wallie Howard, a Syracuse police officer working undercover for the Federal Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), was shot and killed during a cocaine “buy-bust” taking place in the parking lot of “Mario’s Big M Market” in Syracuse. The defendants charged with Officer Howard’s death tried to assert a self-defense claim at trial, but the court refused this request.Lawrence fired at Agent Howard and killed him after Howard had already drawn his weapon and fired. Why was Lawrence unable to claim self-defense in the shooting?In this case, the U. S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit said: “It has long been accepted that one cannot support a claim of self-defense by a self-generated necessity to kill.” What is the logic behind this principle? Do you agree with it?How does this case compare to the jury verdict in State of Florida v. George Zimmerman (aka the Travon Martin case)?Minimum of 300 word count. APA format, scholarly sources withing past 7 years.4.Determine whether your home state has a “stand-your-ground” law that allows defendants to assert self-defense in cases where they might have been able to safely avoid a confrontation. If your state does not have such a law, locate the stand-your-ground law in Florida. After reading the law, identify the elements a criminal defendant must meet in order to successfully present a stand-your-ground defense.Minimum of 300 word count. APA format, scholarly sources withing past 7 years.
