Scenario: Mary Willis is the advertising manager for Bargain Shoe Store. She is currently working on a major promotional campaign. Her ideas include the installation of a new lighting system and increased display space that will add $24,000 in fixed costs to the $270,000 in fixed costs currently spent. In addition, Mary is proposing a 5% price decrease ($40 to $38) will produce a 20% increase in sales volume (20,000 to 24,000). Variable costs will remain at $24 per pair of shoes. Management is impressed with Mary's ideas but concerned about the effects these changes will have on the break-even point and the margin of safety.

Complete the following: 

•Compute the current break-even point in units, and compare it to the break-even point in units if Mary's ideas are used.

• Compute the margin of safety ratio for current operations and after Mary's changes are introduced (Round to nearest full percent).

• Prepare the CVP (Cost-Volume-Profit) income statement for current operations and after Mary's changes are introduced.

Prepare  the maximum 720-word informal memo to management addressing Mary's suggested changes. 

• Explain whether Mary's changes should be adopted. Why or why not? Analyze the above information (three bullet points above) and use this information to support your suggestion.

Tutorial help on Excel® and Word functions can be found on the Microsoft® Office website. There are also additional tutorials via the web offering support for Office products.

Scenario: Green Pastures is a 400-acre farm on the outskirts of the Kentucky Bluegrass, specializing in the boarding of broodmares and their foals. A recent economic downturn in the thoroughbred industry has led to a decline in breeding activities, and it has made the boarding business extremely competitive. To meet the competition, Green Pastures planned in 2017 to entertain clients, advertise more extensively, and absorb expenses formerly paid by clients such as veterinary and blacksmith fees.

The budget report for 2017 is presented as an attachment. As shown, the static income statement budget for the year is based on an expected 21,900 boarding days at $25 per mare. The variable expenses per mare per day were budgeted: feed $5, veterinary fees $3, blacksmith fees $0.25, and supplies $0.55.  All other budgeted expenses were either semifixed or fixed.

During the year, management decided not to replace a worker who quit in March, but it did issue a new advertising brochure and did more entertaining of clients.

Develop a minimum 720-word examination of the financial statements and include the following:

•Based on the static budget report:

◦What was the primary cause(s) of the loss in net income?

◦Did management do a good, average, or poor job of controlling expenses?

◦Were management's decisions to stay competitive sound?

• Prepare a flexible budget report for the year.

• Based on the flexible budget report:

◦What was the primary cause (s) of the loss in net income?

◦Did management of a good, average, or poor job of controlling expenses?

◦Were management's decisions to stay competitive sound?

• What course of action do you recommend for the management of Green Pastures?

Corporate Governance; Executive Compensation

Corporate Governance; Executive Compensation Fifteen years ago, in fiscal year 2002, Microsoft granted 254,000,000 stock options to its employees as part of their compensation. The options had an expiration of 10 years and an exercise price of $ 24.27. Assume that Microsoft's dividend rate was 0%, its stock volatility was 0.39, the risk-free rate was 5.4%, the Microsoft stock price on the date of grant was $ 24.27, and the number of outstanding shares was 10,700,000,000. 1. What was the fair market value of all these 2002 executive stock options on their date of grant, according to the Black-Scholes formula? 2. Suppose that Microsoft used a different compensation policy and decided to grant shares of stock to its employees instead of stock options. How many shares would the company have to issue the same amount of economic value as calculated in the answer to question 1 above? Assume the stock price is $ 24.27 per share. 3. If the stock's volatility was 0.39, then Microsoft's shares had a two-thirds probability of rising or falling by 39% or less over the next year. If the stock had risen 39% over the next year, what would have been the value of the options granted in question 1, and what would have been the value of the shares granted in question 2? If the stock had dropped 39% over the next year, what would have been the value of these shares and options? Assume that volatility, dividends, and the riskfree rate are unchanged. 4. Based on your answer to question 3, which would have been the best compensation policy for Microsoft: delivering an equal amount of economic value through shares or through options? In reaching your conclusion, what goals and assumptions would you consider most important to you? Are you surprised that in the years since 2002, Microsoft and many other firms have shifted their equity compensation away from options and largely towards shares? Credit Derivatives Suppose you are structuring CDO consisting of three bonds. Each of the bonds has a probability of 8% over the next seven years and a recovery rate of 0.35. The coupon payment on each of the three bonds is 5% per year, compounded annually, but paid at the end of six years. (Assume that the recovery rates apply to the amounts received at the end of six years for the principal and the compounded coupon. ) Suppose also that the underlying assets of the CDO consist of equal amount invested in the three bonds, ie, for a notional amount of $ 390 million, with equal investment of $ 130 million in each bond. The CDO is split into two tranches, a senior tranche and an equity tranche. The interest rate during the 6-year period is constant at 6% per annum. 1. Assuming that the default events of the three bonds are uncorrelated, draw the tree illustrating the various outcomes and the associated probabilities. (1 point) 2. Draw the cumulative probability distribution of the cash flows at the end of six years from the portfolio underlying the CDO. (1 point) 3. Suppose the credit rating agency requires the senior tranche to have a probability of less than 2% at the end of the maturity of six years to be given an AA rating. What is the maximum and minimum size of the senior tranche in terms of cash flows at the end of six years? If AA bonds with a six-year maturity are yielding 4% today, what is the present value of the senior tranche? (2 points) 4. Compute the maximum and minimum payoffs at maturity to the equity tranche, as well as its value today, if there is in arbitrage. (1 point) 5. Suppose that the three bonds are correlated in the following manner. Bond 1 and Bond 2 are correlated such that, if Bond 1 defaults, the probability of Bond 2 defaulting is 0.6. However, if Bond 1 does not default, the probability of Bond 2 not defaulting is also 0.9. Bond 3 is uncorrelated with Bonds 1 and 2. Redo your calculations for questions 1 to 4 above. (2 points) 6. Go back to the zero correlation case. Suppose a CDS contract is available on one of the issuers of one of the three bonds, Bond 1. Suppose the price of the CDS is 300 basis points per year for six years, payable on a compounded basis at the end of the six years. What is the maximum size of the AAA tranche now, if this one-third of the total portfolio is fully protected against default and the probability of it being tightened to 1%? (2 points) 7. Discuss, without calculations, how your answer might change if the credit rating agency used the expected loss percentage rather than the probability of loss as the criterion for the AAA rating. (1 point) 8. (Bonus) What would happen to the maximum size of the senior tranche in part (6) if the investments in the three bonds are $ 100 million, $ 130 million and $ 160 million, respectively? (Please provide simple calculations if needed.) (2 points)
