CASE STUDY: Williams Limited

WILLIAMS is a limited company, whose head office in based in South Africa. The company has been operation in the UK for the past 10 years. WILLIAMS provides financial services to a number of organisations which include SME’s, property developers and investment property funds in the UK and Africa. For the past 10 years, WILLIAMS has been a profit making firm as it has retained its previous clients, in addition to capturing an increasing share of the market. However, the finance director of WILLIAMS has recently got in touch with your professional consulting firm, and has engaged your firm with the mandate to provide them with an explanation of the cash flow problem that WILLIAMS Limited had been facing. The company is also dependent on the parent based in South Africa for and when required.

In the past month there has been a number of meetings in London and South Africa where it has been agreed that WILLIAMS Limited should do their best to expand the business and raise the required capital in England, or perhaps in Europe, so as not to depend so much on cash coming from the parent company all the time. Consequently, the management of WILLIAMS is considering the followings:

New Software

The current product that Williams Limited has to offer mostly to specialist developers and investment funds companies is outdated. The company is looking to invest in a new product, and the details of this proposal is outlined below.

Advanced Suite

Advanced Suite Draft figures	£’000
Year	0	1	2	3	4	5
New Software cost	9,000
Working Capital	850	610	790	310	730
Sales Revenue		3400	6300	7500	8900	9500
Less:
Module A		(420.00)	(600.00)	(800.00)	(900.00)	(1,110.00)
Module B		(1,010.00)	(1,400.00)	(1,600.00)	(2,100.00)	(1,900.00)
Overheads		(230.00)	(240.00)	(330.00)	(300.00)	(300.00)

All of the above estimates have been prepared in terms of present day cost and prices. Assume that cash flows arise at the end of each period. In addition

• Revenues are expected to rise by 4% in price terms per year from year 1 (start of year 2) the budget estimated selling price at start was £120.

• Overheads and working capital are expected to rise by 4% per year from year 1(start of year 1)

• The cost of Module A and Module B are expected to rise in line with inflation of 4% per year from the beginning of year 1.

• The cost of Technicians, who have come from the South Africa have not been taken into consideration in the forecast and are as follows:

Technician (T1): Will be paid £120 per hour and expected number of hours for T1 are 1,300hrs. The rate paid is expected to rise in line with inflation at 4% per year from year 2 and the number of hours is expected to reduce by 3% per year, every year from year 2 onwards.

Technician 2 (T2): Will be paid £110 per hour and expected number of hours for T2 are 1,400hrs. The rate paid is expected to go up in line with inflation at 4% per year from year 2 and the number of hours is expected to reduce by 3% per year, every year from year 2 onwards.

If WILLIAMS Limited invests in Advanced Suite, then the discount rate that would be required to assess the NPV would be 6%. The table above shows the estimated outgoings and inflows for the project.

New Drop-in Centre

The manager in charge of sales has just informed your company that they plan to open a Drop-in Centre in London and it is hoped that this Centre will be opened for business on 1April 2020. You have also been informed that to start with, the company will only sell 2 types of service as packages: Entry Level package (ELP) and Advanced Level package (ALP). This will be done to test the market and see if the business will break-even in the same period. These two are the most popular asked for packages and will be offered at £300 for ELP and £400 for ALP.

The company has provided you with the following information regarding the costs and estimated sales for the period mentioned above.

WILLIAMS plan to put in £6,000 as start-up capital and plan to sell a total of 1320 (combined) of ELP and ALP for the same period. They are not sure which of the two services will produce the most profits for WILLIAMS.

Total budgeted sales for each month are as follows: April 440, May 440 and June 440, of which 30% of each month will be for ALP. You will be required to assess the best product combination of sales for the Aril and May 2020.

To help with the setup of the Centre, the company has just concluded a deal with one of the high street banks to get a loan of £21,000 on the 1st of April 2020. The interest on this loan will be 3.5% to be paid every month. The company will be required to make 12 equal payments to repay the loan starting end of May 2020.

Financial information

As mentioned above the company plans to sell a total of 1320 product packages between 1st April and June 2020. The fixed costs for the period are as below:

Rent	£ 15,500
Telephone	£ 1,900
Loan Interest	£ 2,205
Insurance	£ 6,200
Electricity and Gas	£ 3,000
Business Rates	£ 4,500
Fixed cost specific to products	ELP	ALP
Marketing	£21,000	£ 25,000
Administration	£ 7,500	£ 11,500
Staff Salary	£ 19,500	£ 23,000

From their costs estimates, the variable cost of the services are £180 for the ELP and £210 for the ALP. The fixed costs are for the whole period, so they are not affected by the level of service. However, the variable costs will increase with services output (ie sales output multiplied with variable cost per product).

Revenue from the sale of ELP and ALP will be on the basis of 30% cash in the same month, and the remaining 70% credit to be paid the following month.

Requirement:

You will be required to write a management report to the management of Williams limited directors in which the following points should be discussed.

• Provide an explanation on the different sources of funding the company can have and their advantages and disadvantages. You should make recommendations as to how the company can manage the same to help in the planned expansion program.
• Analyse the Investment proposals by using NPV and provide recommendations. You should also briefly comment on other investment proposal techniques that Williams Limited may use, and the limitations of using those techniques
• The use of management tools such as Breakeven analysis and Budgets.
• A computation of your breakeven analysis and the cash budget for the first 3 months.
• An evaluation of the estimated company performance or position during the same period
• A detailed Literature Review of the tools you have used such as breakeven analysis and budgets and their importance to business.
• Other issues for management to consider that you think are vital for them to survive and make a profit.

Our first essay is rather simple. It asks the question “What impact has reading had on your life?” Please reflect on this question for a few minutes and then post a short essay in the MLA format. If you have any questions, please let me know by email. Here is the full-page description of the assignment:

Essay #1: Literacy Narrative

Write a short literacy narrative about yourself. Literacy narratives can often have slightly different focuses, so you have a small amount of room for creativity, but they primarily deal with detailing a person’s path to reading and writing (education and experiences as a reader) and/or the impact that reading and writing has on their lives. Keep in mind that the focus here is on “literacy” (the act of reading and/or writing) and not as much on “literature” (which we’ll be talking about in class). Your literacy narrative can involve your experiences with various “great” books, but it will more likely encompass your experiences with a variety of texts, from internet reading, to newspapers, to comic books, to whatever you tend to read or even write in your spare time.

The organization of your paper will depend on the focus you want the essay to take. If you are writing about your experience becoming literate (learning to read and write), you will probably take a narrative approach, detailing your first experiences in school or your first memories of books or the first time reading or writing seemed to make a big impact on your life. In writing from this perspective, you will want a clear introduction that establishes the story you plan on telling, strong transitions and paragraphs (probably chronologically organized) that put that overall story together, and a conclusion that goes beyond simple summary to address the large context of what you’ve just written about. What ultimate impact did those early experiences have on the reader/writer you are today?

If you focus more on particular texts or experiences of reading and writing and how they have impacted your life, you would structure your essay in a more subject-by-subject fashion. Your introduction would establish that you are writing about significant moments where literacy or particular texts impacted your life and give a sense of why those moments or texts are important. Your body paragraphs would be organized around each of those texts or moments, explaining what they were and narrating why they mattered. In this structure, your conclusion would again go beyond simple summary to put the discussion in a larger context. Have those particular moments or texts changed the way you read or address writing now? How might those experiences be similar to or different from those of other individuals?

Regardless of how you organize the paper, the final draft of your paper needs to be typed, double spaced, and in 12 point font with one inch margins. Your name, the instructor’s name, the course number, and date need to be in the upper left hand corner of the first page (only). Your last name and the page number should appear in the upper right hand corner of each page–or simply the page number–either will work, in other words the full MLA format. You will submit this as a word doc, PDF, or Richtext file only. If I can not open what you send, I will let you know and give you plenty of time to resubmit.
