Budget Project – 200 Points

WARNING: PROJECT RULES:

Do your OWN work – copying or using the work of others/3rd Party resources (i.e., Chegg, Bartleby, Course Hero) will result in an automatic ZERO without warning or additional opportunities.  Plagiarism software may be employed.

REVIEW THE INTEGRITY POLICIES OUTLINED IN THE SYLLABUS

NO USE OF THIRD PARTY – CITE ANY MATERIAL OR RESOURCES of INFORMATION THAT IS NOT YOUR OWN!


Cayman Kayaks (CK)

Valeria (which translates to “strength”) Ikaika is preparing the 2023 budget for one of CK’s best-selling kayaks. Extensive meetings with members of the sales department and executive management team have resulted in the following quarterly unit sales projections for 2023.

Quarter 1 1,110 kayaks
Quarter 2 2,070 kayaks
Quarter 3 1,250 kayaks
Quarter 4 1,055 kayaks
   

CK’s policy is to have finished goods ending inventory in a quarter equal to 12% of the next quarter’s anticipated sales. Preliminary sales projections for 2024 are 1,250 units for the first quarter and 2,245 units for the second quarter. Ending inventory of finished goods at December 31, 2022, will be 30 kayaks.

Production of each kayak requires 36 pounds of polyethylene powder (used in the molds to create the kayaks) and a single finishing kit (rope, seat, hardware, etc.). Company policy is that the ending inventory of polyethylene powder should be 18% of the amount needed for production in the next quarter. Assume that the ending inventory of polyethylene powder on December 31, 2022, is 13,115 pounds. The finishing kits are outsourced and can be purchased as they are needed to fulfill sales orders. As a result, CK does NOT maintain any significant inventory of the finishing kits.

The polyethylene powder used in these kayaks costs $1.05 per pound, and the finishing kits cost $173 each. Production of a single kayak requires 1.75 hours of labor by more experienced, type 1employees and 3.75 hours of less-experienced type 2 employees. The type 1 employees are paid $28 per hour, and the type B employees are paid $19 per hour.

Selling and administrative expenses for this line are expected to be $35.25 per unit sold plus $6,450 per quarter. Manufacturing overhead is assigned at 154% of labor costs.

 

Instructions:

NOTE: Always review the grading rubric for information on how your project will be scored/evaluated.

 

STEP 1:  Prepare the required budgets using ONE excel or google (sheets), you MAY want to use multiple tabs in a file as this will likely help your format/presentation score.

All calculations MUST be done using embedded formulas in the submitted excel/google spreadsheet, numbers that transfer from one location to another MUST be linked/referenced.

See instructional videos that have been provided if you need help understand formulas, functions and cell referencing.

 

STEP 2:  You may discuss and work with other students but you must complete ALL WORK MUST BE DONE BY YOU AND ON YOUR OWN.  No two projects should ever look alike!!

 

STEP 3: Using the format demonstrated in your textbook – Prepare the following budgets (remember: be sure to show/demonstrate ALL calculations – include quarterly AND yearly totals) using excel or google sheets:

  1. production budget
  2. direct materials budget
  3. direct labor budget
  4. manufacturing overhead budget
  5. selling and administrative budget

 

STEP 4:  Assume you are in a management position and are asked by top executives to propose a sales price for this kayak model that would be competitive, reasonable and profitable based on projections.

You realize that if your proposal is accepted it could mean a huge promotion and/or bonus.  You may use whatever information, research, visualizations or resources you would like to help you determine a sales price and then justify your decision.

It is essential that you effectively support your pricing decision with enough arguments/reasons to convince these executives of your proposal.  Keep in mind, just determining a price that results in a profit would be the MINIMUM expectation – that will not be enough!

 

STEP 5: Once you have your sales price decision, prepare these last two budgets (again, be sure to include quarterly AND yearly totals):

  1. Sales Budget
  2. Budgeted Income Statement

Project 1 math

Purpose of Assignment

We have completed our study of basic sinusoids. We can use our knowledge to apply it to the real world around us. We should understand that any variable that is cyclical, harmonic, oscillating, or periodic in nature can be modeled by a sine or cosine wave. In this project, you will investigate any real-world phenomenon and create a presentation about it, using any reasonable presentation method. You will also write a short re ection.

This project aligns with Course Objectives D (graphs of trig functions) and E (modeling and interpreting cyclic-in-nature applications), as well as GELO 5.

You will have two opportunities to get the maximum possible grade if you submit a copy by the First-Version-Due deadline, as listed in Canvas.

Task

Complete the tasks below.

You may work either individually or with a partner (i.e. have one or two authors).

  1. Choose ONE real-world phenomenon which can be modeled by a sinusoid. These include, but are not limited to:
    • Ferris wheels and roller coasters
    • Wheels, trampolines, swings
  2. Research and collect data:
    • Collect data from a reputable external source. You may NOT directly use the textbook as a reference for this purpose.
    • The data must be paired (e.g. (x,y)).
    • You must cite the source of your data, and you should collect at least 20 data points
  3. Construct a predictive model of the form y = Asin(ωx − φ) + B, using both the Quick-Fit and

Best-Fit techniques that we learnt in class

  • Give highlights in the presentation about how it is done in each case
  1. Show a graph of the predictive models on the same graph as the scatterplot of your data
    • The graph should be produced in either GeoGebra or Desmos
    • Compare the scatterplot to the models
    • Prepare to compare the models to each other
  2. Construct a presentation, such as on PowerPoint, Prezi, iMovie, etc. that includes (but is not limited to) each of the following:
    • A title slide with your name (and partner’s name if applicable).
    • At least one Intro slide which introduces the context in broad terms: no data should be present on this slide
    • Slides that address Tasks 1 through 4 (see Rubric on Canvas for more details)
    • A Conclusion slide with a comparison of the two models and a brief re ection on the comparison
    • A References slide that cites at least one source used (in AMS, APA, or MLA format; the former two preferred), excluding class notes
    • An Acknowledgments slide that mentions the names of all humans (including Dr. Weiss) consulted in the completion of this project
  1. If you consulted nobody, the Acknowledgments section is still required: you will state “I consulted with no other person on this project.”
  1. On a separate Word document, write a re ection of about 1-2 paragraphs about your experience with this project. It should include, but is not limited to:
    • What did you learn?
    • What did you like or dislike about this project?
    • What would you change?
