Rusty Spears, CEO of Rusty’s Renovations, a custom building and repair company, is preparing documentation for
a line of credit request from his commercial banker. Among the required documents is a detailed sales forecast for
parts for the next two years.
Estimates obtained from the credit and collection department are as follows: collections within the month of sale,
15%; collections during the month following the sale, 65%; collections the second month following the sale, 20%.
Payments for labor and raw materials are typically made during the month following the one in which these costs
were incurred. Total costs for labor and raw materials are estimated for each month as shown in the table.
General and administrative salaries will amount to approximately $15,000 a month; lease payments under longterm lease contracts will be $5,000 a month; depreciation charges will be $7,500 a month; miscellaneous expenses
will be $2,000 a month; income tax payments of $25,000 will be due in both September and December; and a
progress payment of $80,000 on a new office suite must be paid in October. Cash on hand on July 1 will amount to
$60,000, and a minimum cash balance of $40,000 will be maintained throughout the cash budget period.

b. How much must Spears borrow each month to maintain the target cash balance?
Answer. Look at the “Surplus cash or loan needed” line at the bottom of the cash budget.
c. Would the cash budget be accurate if inflows came in all during the month but outflows were bunched
early in the month?
d. If the company operates on a seasonal basis, how would this affect the current ratio and the debt ratio?
e. If its customers began to pay late, this would slow down collections and thus increase the required loan amount. Also, if
sales dropped off, this would have an effect on the required loan. Do a sensitivity analysis that shows the effects of these two
factors on the max loan requirement. Assume the purchases of labor and raw material also vary by the sales adjustment
factor.

Mark Collins, luthier and businessman, builds and sells custom-made acoustic and electric stringed instruments. Although located in Mary
purchases raw materials from around the globe. For example, his top-of-the line acoustic guitar with onboard electronics, the MC-28, is co

Rosewood and mahogany: 2,750 Mexican pesos
Spruce: 200 Canadian dollars
Ebony and electronics: 12,400 Japanese Yen
Other parts plus woodworking labor: $600
Collins sells some of this model in the U.S., but the majority of the units are sold in England where he has developed a loyal following and
become something of a cult symbol. There, his guitars fetch £1,600, excluding shipping. Mark is concerned about the effect of exchange ra
costs and profit.

a. How much, in dollars, does it cost for Mark Collins to produce his MC-28? What is the dollar sale price of the MC-28 sold in England?

Cost of rosewood and mahogany (pesos)

c. If the U.S. dollar were to depreciate by 10% against all foreign currencies, what would the dollar and percentage profits be for the MC-2
Since dollar is depreciating, a dollar buys fewer units of foreign currency than before its depreciation. Therefore, the indirect quotes (whic
of units of foreign currency per dollar) should all be reduced by 10%. Then we convert the new indirect quotes to direct quotes (divide 1 by
get a direct quote).
Change in dollar versus all currencies (positive is appreciation, negative is depreciation):

The total costs go up because the dollar has depreciated against the currencies’ of the suppliers, making it more expensive in dollars for C
the raw materials. However, the depreciation of the dollar versus the pound increases the dollar value of sales. The net effect is a small in
this example, but that will not always be the case.
d. If the U.S. dollar were to depreciate by 10% only against the pound and remained constant relative to all other foreign currencies, what
and percentage profits be for the MC-28?
Since dollar is depreciating relative to the pound, a dollar buys fewer pounds than before its depreciation. Therefore, the indirect quote for
