The financial performance of Matthew’s Models
4. The financial performance of the Mathews model has not
produced an admirable result. The cash flow statement shows a
negative cash balance. This is an indication that liquidity
problems are likely to occur when the model is implemented.
That is, the company will not be able to cover short-term
expenses and long-term expenses. This indicates that the model
should consider a line of business that produces more cash flow
so that the company can be self-sustaining.
Justification for Nick Loan
The company's financial situation does not support taking on
more debt. The model result shows that the chosen line of
business is not able to produce enough cash flow to fund
internal operating costs. This shows that additional liabilities
are a drain on the company's resources, meaning that the
company could become insolvent if it does not venture into a
line of business that can generate more cash. Therefore, I would
recommend that the company not take out any more loans until
it finds a more reliable line of business that can generate
enough cash to pay off the debts.
Approve the loan for Matt
If I'm Matt's, I can't approve the loan for Nick. This is because
he may not be able to repay the loan depending on the amount
of cash generation. Therefore, unless Nick has ventured into a
project with a more attractive return that will generate enough
cash, he should continue with the business until he begins to
generate the resources that can support the loan. This will help
avoid a situation of loan default that can affect the business,
especially if the business assets are taken to repay the loan.
Part Two Cost Volume Profit Analysis
The Contribution Margin ratio and the break-even point in
skateboards.
Contribution margin =selling price -cost per unit
=40-24
Contribution margin = 16
Breakeven point =fixed expenses/ contribution margin
=480,000/16
5. B.E. P= 30,000
The new Contribution margin ratio and the new break-even
point in skateboard
Variable cost = 24+2=26
Sp=40
Contribution margin= 40-26=14
Break-even point =fixed asset/contribution margin
=4880,000/14
B.E. P= 34,286
The number of skateboards to earn 160,000.
Amount of unit that gives 160,000
= (FC+ Income)/contribution margin
= (480,000+160,000)/14
=640,000/14
Units=45,714
The selling price per skateboard must it charge next year to
cover the increased labor costs.
If 34286=14
Therefore, 30,000
= (14*30000)/34,286=12.25
The price will be raised by 12.25
Therefore, the price price =40+12.25
The price =52.25
The company’s new Contribution Margin ratio and new break-
even point in skateboards
Variable cost= 60/100*24
=14.4
Contribution Margin= 40-14.4
Contribution margin=25.6
Increase in fixed cost= 190/100*480,000
Fixed cost= 912,000
B.E. P= Fixed cost /contribution margin
B.E.P =912,000/25.6
B.E.=35,625 units
The same net operating income, $160,000, as last year
6. Amount of unit that gives 160,000
= (FC+ Income)/contribution margin
Number of skateboard= (912,000+160,000)/25.6
Number of skateboards= 41,875

Recommendation
I would recommend that the management to implement the new
plant project. The new plant will increase the cash as it has
more income generating as compared to the initial plant. This
will ensure that the cost of the business will be catered for.
