A&C Leather Co. is
a leather manufacturing company. They manufacture all leather products
including leather jackets, caps, and pants. The geographical location of the
current target market of A&C leather co. has four seasons (winter, spring,
summer, and autumn). They sell more units of products in the winter season as
compared to other seasons<o:p></o:p>

Q1: Which demand situation is faced by A&C
Leather Co? Justify your answer with valid arguments.<o:p></o:p>

Irregular demand is
when demand of company product changes at different times. It increases in some
season and decrease at some other time. It
is called irregular demand. <o:p></o:p>

A&C Leather Co.
face the irregular demand because A&C Leather Co. made lather products and
the geographical location situation has four seasons which are faced by A&C
Leather Co. As per situation more units are sold in winter because sale of
lather products increase in winter but in out season there is no need for
winter products which shows a very low sale of winter products like sweeter and
hot caps and jackets because these products are sold more in winter but people
has no need for the products in other season like hot summer season. So the
situation falls in irregular demand where the demand increase in one season and
has no need in other.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

As per handout and
regular marketing strategy this situation can be deal by two methods.<o:p></o:p>

1.     
Demand shifting technique <o:p></o:p>

2.     
Synchro-marketing strategy<o:p></o:p>

1:  Demand
shifting technique:        <o:p></o:p>

In this method the
company made all other type of products which are usable in other seasons like
jackets are made which are also usable in other seasons like rain safety
jackets and gloves are made which are usable in other seasons like fashionable
gloves and jackets. Also vase coat are made which are usable in winter and
summer in both seasons. In this strategy regular demand in being changes with
other products and company capture the market.<o:p></o:p>

Example: A tea and
coffee making company has great sell in winter season because everybody like
tea and coffee but this demand decrease in summer but company can overcome this
sale decrease by producing more products like cold coffee and cold drinks, ice
creams which has also great use in summer seasons.<o:p></o:p>

In this strategy
company introduce a lot of offers for to increase the sale of the products like
the sale on winter clothe and products increase in winter season but has no
demand in other season so company provide a lot of offers, like sale offers ,
discount offers. In this method company gave a suitable discount and people but
products because they get product at a low price and sale decrease can be
covered. Like a products has unit price 100 rupees in winter season and has no
sell in summer season and company gave 45% discount in summer and people just
buy items because they are 45 rupees cheap then regular price. And people but
them for future use.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>GDB Solution

Plan A:<o:p></o:p>

Plan A: A Depositor deposit Rs.
30,000 at the end of every six month with the interest rate 18% per month with
compounded semi-annually.

Solution: With the help of
statement we use formula;

FV = PMT x [ ( 1+ i/m)n x m -1)] / (i / m)         Where:   i= interest
and n for duration and m for semi-annually which means 2 term in one year. Here
person deposit amount two time in a year so we will use m=2 and n=5 because
total time is 5 year.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p></o:p>

FV =  30,000
x [ ( 1 + 18% / 2) 5 x 2 -1 ] / ( 18% / 2)<o:p></o:p>

FV =  30,000 x [ ( 1 + 0.18 / 2 ) 10
-1 ] / ( 0.18 / 2)<o:p></o:p>

FV = 30,000 x [ ( 1 + 0.09)10 – 1] / (0.09)<o:p></o:p>

FV = 30,000 x [ (1.09)10 – 1 ] / 0.09<o:p></o:p>

FV = 30,000 x [ 2.367 – 1 ] / 0.09<o:p></o:p>

FV = 30000 x [( 1.367)] / 0.09<o:p></o:p>

FV = 455787.89  Answer for 1st Plan<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

Plan B:<o:p></o:p>

Deposit Rs. 20,000 at the end of every quarter with interest
rate of 18% compounded quarterly<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

FV = PMT x [ ( 1+ i/m)n x m -1)] / (i / m)         Where:   i= interest
and n for duration and m for quarterly which means 4 term in one year. Here
person deposit amount four time in a year (each after 3 month) so we will use
m=4 and n=5 because total time is 5 year.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

Calculation:<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

FV =  20,000
x [ ( 1 + 18% / 4) 5 x 4 -1 ] / ( 18% / 4)<o:p></o:p>

FV =  20,000 x [ ( 1 + 0.18 / 4 ) 20
-1 ] / ( 0.18 / 4)<o:p></o:p>

FV = 20,000 x [ ( 1 + 0.045)20 – 1] / (0.045)<o:p></o:p>

FV = 20,000 x [ (1.045)10 – 1 ] / 0.045<o:p></o:p>

FV = 20,000 x [ 2.41171 – 1 ] / 0.045<o:p></o:p>

FV = 20000 x [( 1.41171)] / 0.045<o:p></o:p>

FV = 627,426.666  Answer for 2nd  Plan<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

Question 2: Based on
calculations in part 1, suggest which option is not suitable for Mr. Arslan and
why?<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

Answer:<o:p></o:p>

Based on the above calculation the plan B is perfect for Mr.
Arslan because there are two major benefits behind this one is that he have to
pay amount quarterly each after three month which is most easy payment method
for Mr. Arslan. And also in Plan B Mr. Arslan will received 627,426 rupees after 5 year while in plan A
he will get 455787.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

So Plan A is not suitable because the amount he received is 455787
which do not fulfill the needs and demands of Mr. Arlsan.  While the Plan B is suitable because Mr. Arslan
will received 627426 after 5 year which is perfect as per the
requirement of Mr. Arslan.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

Solution 1:  <o:p></o:p>

Indirect Cash flow statement: <o:p></o:p>

Necessary Calculations<o:p></o:p>

Change
in trade debtor = 75000 – 30000 = 45000<o:p></o:p>

Change
in inventory  = 115000 – 102000 = 13000<o:p></o:p>

Change
in A/C Payable  = 19000 –  15000   
= 4000<o:p></o:p>

Question No. 02<o:p></o:p>

Is it possible to have positive operating income but negative net cash
flow from operating activities? If yes then state the reasons.<o:p></o:p>

Answer:  <o:p></o:p>

Yes It is possible as
you can see in above statement that statement shows negative cash flow ( as
negative cash flow shows that company is getting lose and losing its money and
assets) but when  the operating income in
positive which shows the increase in the assets of the company. When you have
negative cash flow your company state is critical and you can’t reinvest the
amount because you are losing the amount an assets and trust of people which
shows very bad condition for the company profile. But here you can see that
cash flow in negative but the total assets of the company increased and company
filing shows net profit of 163,000 rupees.<o:p></o:p>
