The George Company has a policy of maintaining an end-of-month cash balance of at least $37,000. In months where a shortfall is expected, the company can draw in $1,000 increments on a line of credit it has with a local bank, at an interest rate of 12% per annum. All borrowings are assumed for budgeting purposes to occur at the beginning of the month, while all loan repayments (in $1,000 increments of principal) are assumed to occur at the end of the month. Interest is paid at the end of each month. For April, an end-of-month cash balance (prior to any financing and interest expense) of $24,000 is budgeted; for May, an excess of cash collected over cash payments (prior to any interest payments and loan repayments) of $28,000 is anticipated.
1.What is the interest payment estimated for April (there is no bank loan outstanding at the end of March)? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
2.What is the total financing effect (cash interest plus loan transaction) for May? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

Answer:

Explanation:

1. First find the net amount amount the company borrowed in April:

= Cash balance to be maintained + Loan repayment - Budgeted end of April balance

= 37,000 + 1,000 - 24,000

= $14,000

Interest = 14,000 * 12%/ 12 months

= $140

2. Financing effect:

= Amount borrowed + Interest

= 14,000 + 140

= $14,140

Mt Kinley is a strategy consulting firm that divides its consultants into three classes, associates, managers, and partners. The firm has been stable in size for the last 20 years, ignoring growth opportunities in the 90s, but also not suffering from a need to down-size in the recession. Specifically, there have been – and are expected to be – 200 associates, 60 managers, and 20 partners. The work environment at Mt Kinley is rather competitive.

Similarly, after 6 years a manager either becomes a partner or is dismissed. The company recruits MBAs as associate consultants, no hires are made at the manager or partner level. A partner stays with the company for another 10 years (total of 20 years with the company). How many new MBA graduates does Mt Kinley have to hire every year? What is the probability that an incoming MBA graduate would make partner at Mt Kinley?
