CASE
Manny Fold owns a factory that specializes in making titanium valves for high performance
engines on a just in time basis. Thus, Manny produces what he sells in a particular month. There
are no inventories of finished goods or work in process. However, Manny does require that an
inventory of direct raw materials equal to 10% of next month’s production requirement be
available at the end of each month. To build his business and gain new customers Manny has
extended generous credit terms to his customers. While Manny is confident about the
fundamentals of his business, he is concerned about the possible cash flow implications.
Manny’s clients drive a hard bargain because they can easily switch suppliers. They all do pay
eventually, but many of them take their time about doing so and Manny is reluctant to get tough
with them for fear they will take their business elsewhere. He tells you that all his sales are on
credit (no cash sales). He typically collects only 20% of sales in the month of the sale, 40% of
sales in the month after the sale and 40% of sales two months later (for example 20% of August
sales are collected in August, 40% in September and 40% in October). On the other hand he pays
for 70% of his materials purchases in the month of the purchase and only 30% in the month after.
Costs of labor and overhead other than depreciation property taxes and insurance are paid in the
same month they are incurred. Property taxes for 3 months will be paid in October. Monthly
fixed selling and administrative costs, other than interest, amount to $41,000, of which $10,000
is depreciation. These operating costs, excepting depreciation, are paid in cash in the month
incurred. There are no variable selling or administrative costs. Manny has large tax loss carry
forwards from a previous unsuccessful business venture. Therefore he does not expect to pay any
income taxes this year. (In other words you may ignore income taxes).
Sales revenues in August were $315,000 and in September are expected to be $325,500.
Purchases in September total $92,480. The budgeted selling price of valves for October,
November, and December is $21 per valve. Because of ma ...

Narrated Business Proposal for the Philadelphia Eaglescamrynascott12
Slide 1:
Welcome, and thank you for joining me today. We will explore a strategic proposal to enhance parking and traffic management at Lincoln Financial Field, aiming to improve the overall fan experience and operational efficiency. This comprehensive plan addresses existing challenges and leverages innovative solutions to create a smoother and more enjoyable experience for our fans.
Slide 2:
Picture this: It’s a crisp fall afternoon, driving towards Lincoln Financial Field. The atmosphere is electric—tailgaters grilling, fans in Eagles jerseys creating a sea of green and white. The air buzzes with camaraderie and anticipation. You park, join the throng, and make your way to your seat. The stadium roars as the Eagles take the field, sending chills down your spine. Each play is a thrilling dance of strategy and skill. This is what being an Eagles fan is all about—the joy, the pride, and the shared experience.
Slide 3:
But now, the day is marred by frustration. The excitement wanes as you struggle to find a parking spot. The congestion is overwhelming, and tempers flare. The delays mean you miss the pre-game excitement, the tailgate camaraderie, and even the opening kick-off. After the game, the joy of victory or the shared solace of defeat is overshadowed by the stress of navigating out of the parking lot. The gridlock, honking horns, and endless waiting drain the energy and joy from what should have been an unforgettable experience.
Our proposal aims to eliminate these frustrations, ensuring that from arrival to departure, your experience is extraordinary. Efficient parking and smooth traffic flow are key to maintaining the high spirits and excitement that make game days special.
Slide 4:
The Philadelphia Eagles are not just a premier NFL team; they are an integral part of the community, hosting games, concerts, and various events at Lincoln Financial Field. Our state-of-the-art stadium is designed to provide a world-class experience for every attendee. Whether it's the thrill of game day, the excitement of a live concert, or the camaraderie of community events, we pride ourselves on delivering a fan-first experience and maintaining operational excellence across all our activities. Our commitment to our fans and community is unwavering, and we continuously strive to enhance every aspect of their experience, ensuring they leave with unforgettable memories.
Slide 5:
Recent trends show an increasing demand for efficient event logistics. Our customer feedback has consistently highlighted frustrations with parking and traffic. Surveys indicate that a significant number of fans are dissatisfied with the current parking situation. Comparisons with other venues like Citizens Bank Park and Wells Fargo Center reveal that we lag in terms of parking efficiency and convenience. These insights underscore the urgent need for innovation to meet and exceed fan expectations.
Slide 6:
As we delve into the intricacies of our operations, one glaring issue emer
