FIN 370 Week 3 My Finance LabProblem 1 Campbell IndustriesProblem 2 DeereAll of Deere’s net working capital values for this period are negative. While the magnitude of 2008’s is smaller than 2007’s, it is still higher than 2006’s initial value. Looking at Deere’s accounts for 2007 and 2008, we see that Deere’s cash fell very slightly, but its short-term investments completely disappeared (Deere didn’t have any of these in 2006, either). Net receivables rose; inventory rose significantly. These last two accounts were extremely influential on the company’s liquidity position. Deere might want to tighten up its credit policy (to reduce accounts receivable) and investigate its inventory position. There are some issues on the current liability side, too. Deere’s accounts payable doubled in 2008, its short-term debt fell slightly, and its other current liabilities disappeared. Deere’s A/P increase undoubtedly helped fund its increases in inventory and A/R. However, ominously, the dollar increase in A/P is much larger than the increases in these two CA accounts. Overall, Deere’s liquidity position is fairly consistent: Net working capital is negative throughout the period, with the current ratio improving slightly in 2007.Problem 3 Marvel ManufacturingThe Marvel Mfg.

November and December sales for 2010 were $220,800 and $174,200, respectively.Sharpe purchases its raw materials two months in advance of its sales equal to 60 percent of their final sales price. The supplier is paid one month after it makes delivery. For example, purchases for April sales are made in February and payment is made in March.In addition, Sharpe pays $9,000 per month for rent and $20,100 each month for other expenditures.Tax prepayments of $21,800 are made each quarter, beginning in March.The company’s cash balance at December 31, 2010, was $21,100; a minimum balance of $15,000 must be maintained at all times. Assume that any short-term financing needed to maintain the cash balance is paid off in the month following the month of financing if sufficient funds are available.Interest on short-term loans (11 percent) is paid monthly. Borrowing to meet estimated monthly cash needs takes place at the beginning of the month. Thus, if in the month of April the firm expects to have a need for an additional $56,110, these funds would be borrowed at the beginning of April with interest of $514 (11% × 1/12 × $56,110) owed for April and paid at the beginning of May.Problem 6You just received a $4,000 bonus.
