The Sunflower, Inc makes and sells tasty hamburgers for $8 per unit with a unit variable cost of $6. All sales are for cash and the variable costs are paid immediately. The company has budgeted the following data for November: Sales 20000 units
Cash, Beginning Balance $34,000
Selling and administratie(of which depreciation $5,000) $53,000
If necessary, the company will borrow cash from a bank on the first day of November. Assume that the borrowing can be made in any (exact) amount, but bears interest at 2% per month. The November interest will be paid in cash during November. What is the closest amount of cash that must be borrowed on November 1 to cover all cash disbursements and to obtain the desired November 30 cash balance?

5. profit maximization and shutting down in the short run suppose that the market for polos is a competitive market. the following graph shows the daily cost curves of a firm operating in this market. 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 50 45 40 35 30 25 20 15 10 5 0 price (dollars per polo) quantity (thousands of polos) mc atc avc for each price in the following table, calculate the firm's optimal quantity of units to produce, and determine the profit or loss if it produces at that quantity, using the data from the previous graph to identify its total variable cost. assume that if the firm is indifferent between producing and shutting down, it will produce. (hint: you can select the purple points [diamond symbols] on the previous graph to see precise information on average variable cost.) price quantity total revenue fixed cost variable cost profit (dollars per polo) (polos) (dollars) (dollars) (dollars) (dollars) 12.50 135,000 27.50 135,000 45.00 135,000 if the firm shuts down, it must incur its fixed costs (fc) in the short run. in this case, the firm's fixed cost is $135,000 per day. in other words, if it shuts down, the firm would suffer losses of $135,000 per day until its fixed costs end (such as the expiration of a building lease). this firm's shutdown price—that is, the price below which it is optimal for the firm to shut down—is per polo.

Four key marketing decision variables are price (p), advertising (a), transportation (t), and product quality (q). consumer demand (d) is influenced by these variables. the simplest model for describing demand in terms of these variables is: d = k – pp + aa + tt + qq where k, p, a, t, and q are constants. discuss the assumptions of this model. specifically, how does each variable affect demand? how do the variables influence each other? what limitations might this model have? how can it be improved?

Ll companies has sales of $9,800, net income of $1,060, total assets of $8,950, and total debt of $4,760. assets and costs are proportional to sales. debt and equity are not. a dividend of $371 was paid, and the company wishes to maintain a constant payout ratio. next year's sales are projected to be $10,584. what is the amount of the external financing need?
