1. Do you think it was important for Michael to stipulate that he wanted a business that he
would enjoy, that would give back to the community, that would grow and be more
successful every year, and that would generate a net income of $25,000 annually? Why
or why not?
It's always important to set goals to measure the success of any business. However, the
first three goals are more of a mission statement while the fourth is an objective for the
company. The problem is there no plan and one objective. What is he going to do if the
company doesn't net the $25,000? Or what if it nets the $25,000 but there is not
enough cash to sustain the business? There need to be more objectives to make
allowances for these types of situations. There needs to be a plan of action where goals
change from period to period. Otherwise, the business cannot succeed.

14. Michael is very disappointed that he did not have an income of $25,000 for his first year
of budgeted operations as he had wanted. How many shirts would Michael have to sell
in order to have a profit of $25,000?
Why does Michael’s net income differ from his ending cash balance?
The cash is not the same as the net income because the net income doesn't take into
account any payments made to loans or for equipment bought on credit but does take
into account depreciation. Depreciation is not counted as part of the cash flow because
it is a capital expenditure but is accounted for in the net income.

15. Do you think it was a good idea to offer Cary Sue a salary plus 10 percent of sales? Why
or why not?
We believe it's not a good idea to pay Sue a salary plus 10% commission. She is making
$94,400 a year. The net income for the business is less than $20,000 a year. If Michael
wants to hit his $25,000 annually, he should pay Sue less of a commission or not pay a
salary for when she conducts sales or both. Plus, the other employees much harder
than Sue and get paid a much smaller wage than her which can cause resentment
among the co-workers.
