The Frozen North Construction Company would like to forecast its minimum volume of work (turnover) in order to “break even” (i.e., cover its corporate overheads) for the coming year. The company’s previous year’s corporate overheads were $900,000. The company anticipates 22% inflation and 6% growth in the firm for the coming year. It also expects to achieve a gross margin of 13% on its projects, based on old experience. The company defines gross margin as a percentage of revenue (i.e., selling price). Determine the minimum volume of work, which will allow the Frozen North Company to break even at the end of the coming year.

Data on Wentz Inc. for last year are shown below, along with the payables deferral period (PDP) for the firms against which it benchmarks. The firm's new CFO believes that the company could delay payments enough to increase its PDP to the benchmarks' average. If this were done, by how much would payables increase? Use a 365-day year. Cost of goods sold = $74,000 Payables = $5,000 Payables Deferral Period (PDP) = 24.66 Benchmark Payables Deferral Period = 34.00 Please explain process and show calculations.

Hebner Housing Corporation has forecast the following numbers for this upcoming year: Sales = $1,000,000. Cost of goods sold = 600,000. Interest expense = 100,000. Net income = 180,000.The company is in the 40 percent tax bracket. Its cost of goods sold always represents 60 percent of its sales. That is, if the company’s sales were to increase to $1.5 million, its cost of goods sold would increase to $900,000. The company’s CEO is unhappy with the forecast and wants the firm to achieve a net income equal to $240,000. In order to achieve this level of net income, what level of sales will the company have to achieve? Assume that Hebner’s interest expense remains constant.
