Answer to Question 2

Introduction

In this report, an attempt is made to analyze and present the budgeted result to the director of the company. The company is engaged in the manufacturing of the swimwear and accessories for the men and women (Crowell et al., 2013). The company manufactures four types of products. The main aim of this report is to discuss the estimated and the budgeted resulted of the company.

Over view of the result

The overall analysis of the budget indicates that the company is estimated to make a net profit of $7500. The total gross profit of the company is $485860.50. It can be seen that only product that has reported gross loss is Towel. The analysis of the cash flow statement shows that the company has generated cash inflow in all the months except in the month of August (Macnab & Mitchell, 2014). The figure showing sales of different products in the 12 months are given below.

Particulars	Bikini	Board Short	Towel	Beach Bag
Sales	$100	$75	$45	$65
Less: Variable cost
Fabric	$18.75	$0.00	$31.25	$26.25
Elastic/Trim	$13.50	$0.00	$3.00	$5.25

Total variable Cost	$63.25	$24.00	$65.65	$51.30
Contribution	$36.75	$51.00	($20.65)	$13.70

Table 1: Contribution per unit

(Source: created by Author)

The table above indicates the contribution per unit of different products of the company. It can be said that the company should not produce Towel as the contribution is negative and the company will make loss if the company engages in the production.

Cash Position of the company

Figure 2: Cash position

(Source: created by Author)

The figure above shows that the company has maintained high cash flow throughout the period. It can be seen that the cash position of the business have slowly increased and have been maintained at high level. The main reason for such increase in cash balance is increased sales and controlled expenditure (Dudin et al. 2015).

Analysis and Recommendation

The data of the manufacturing sector of Australia is provided below:

Figure 3: Industry data

(Source: created by Author)

The figure above shows the manufacturing industry is showing a decline of 1.7% in growth. It is expected that the manufacturing industry will see a decline of 0.7% from 2012 to 2017. However, the revenue of the industry is expected to increase by 1.7%. Therefore, it is expected that the business will make profit so the company should continue in the manufacturing but should stop producing towel, as it is not profitable (Gebreiter, 2016).

Conclusion

Based on the above discussion it can be said that it is expected that the company should make profit and will be able to maintain good cash position. However, the business should producing towel, as it is not profitable.
