PROBLEM 1

Mr. Abdul Ahad, the Financial manager of TagdumTagdum Company received a requisition for Tk.400,000 from the operations department to complete the next production cycle. Before approving the money, Mr. Ahad wanted to ensure that the amount was sufficient to cover the cycle. Accordingly, he asked you to do the necessary exercises to estimate the financing requirement of the operation department. As an initial step toward carrying out your assignment, you decided to inspect the companys balance sheet and income statement for the last year (exhibit 1)

Based on the last three years information, you have found that on an average, 80 percent of annual cost of goods sold have been incurred on account of labour and material cost.

Based on your calculations, do you think that the financing requirement placed by the operations department is justified? Do you have any observation of the companys working capital management practice? Explain

PROBLEM-2

Your company, i.e., TagdumTagdum, has recently received an offer from Pirelli Bank to establish a countrywide lockbox system, which could significantly expedite its cash collection. As per Pirellis proposal, altogether 20 lockboxes will be established in strategic collection points of the country. Checks will be collected each working day of the year and sent immediately to TagdumTagdums concentration banks using wire transfer. You estimate that the installation of the lockbox system should reduce collection float by at least 4 days and Pirelli will be able to transfer collections to the concentration banks every day except the following:

Weekly holidays per month on Fridays and Saturdays assuming 4 weeks a month

Eid holidays for two eids a year for three days each eid

Bank holidays on June 30 and on December 31

Shaheed Dibash on February 21

Independence day on 26 March

Victory day on 16 December

Durga Puja holiday for one day

Bouddha Purnima holiday for one day

Christmas holiday for one day

Pahela Bashakh on 14 April

Other holidays for 5 days

You also estimate that 98 percent of annual net sales will be collected each year. Pirelli will charge a monthly rental fees of Tk.3,000 per lockbox and Tk.40 for each wire transfer to the concentration banks. The opportunity cost of funds available to TagdumTagdum is 8 percent.

As the negotiator from your company, do the initial calculations and tell if Porellis proposal could be accepted. (assume a 365day year.)
