Question1: Preparing budgets – sales budget and cash collection schedule

Xavier is the manager of a national soccer club and has been asked to assist in the preparation of their sales budget for the year 2011. A total of 26 matches are played during the season and five scratch matches are played in the off-season. The club charges a $15 entry fee per person for seasonal games and a $10 entry fee for scratch matches. They also offer a membership package for $200 which entitles holders to attend all games played over the year. Membership packages are only available for purchase at the start of the year.

The number of tickets sold the previous year were as follows:

Quarter
1 2 3 4 Year totals
Memberships 15 006 – – – 15 006
Scratch matches 14 616 – – 16 235 30 851
Season tickets – 39 104 52 083 91 187
As the team won the league, the following assumptions have been made for the upcoming year:

– Memberships will increase by 5%.

– Attendance at scratch matches will increase by 3% in the 1st quarter and 1.5% in the 4th quarter.

– Season ticket sales will increase by 20% in the 2nd quarter and 15% in the 3rd quarter.

– Due to the nature of the business, all tickets and merchandise are paid for immediately. Of all season memberships, 90% are paid for in the 1st quarter with the remaining being collected in the next period.

Required: Based on the above information, prepare the sales budget and cash collection schedule for Xavier.

Question 2: Budget equation

Technology has changed our lives drastically in the past twenty years. For example, consider the rise of mobile devices connected to the internet using wireless communication. We have progressed from shopping solely in brick-and-mortar stores to having the ability to do anything from renting a vacation home to purchasing cupcakes online using a mobile device. To keep up with how consumers communicate, businesses have to incorporate these devices and technologies into their business models to reach customers. Developing appropriate technical solutions to business problems begins with defining, analyzing, and documenting the necessary requirements.

For this project, you will play the role of an employee working for a small brick-and-mortar business. Your business is seeking to establish an online presence, but it must first invest in new technology. You will create a business systems analysis to provide the business owner with your recommendations for a technology solution that will support her venture into e-commerce.

The project is divided into two milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Three and Five. The final product will be submitted in Module Seven. Use the Final Project template document as a guide to ensure you have met all requirements before submitting your final draft.

In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:

 Analyze a business organization for determining the business requirements related to information technology systems

 Articulate the role and function of information systems in business organizations for how they impact business operations

 Recommend appropriate information technology options for effectively supporting business operations

 Recommend basic security considerations related to business information systems for effectively securing company data

Prompt

Imagine that you work for the small brick-and-mortar business described in the final project case scenario. The owner of your business wants to focus on generating new revenue through e-commerce, but she knows that this change in operations requires the company to integrate new technology. To gain an understanding of what the business might need for technology, she has asked you to create a business systems analysis. In this analysis, you will clearly introduce the problem that your business is facing. Then, you will determine the business requirements for solving that problem, including the requirements that any new technology needs to meet. Next, you will explain how your competitors are using the two technologies in which you are investing, to determine

2

whether those technologies are appropriate for your business. Finally, you will propose your recommendations for the technology solution that best meets the needs of your business, including what your business owner must consider in regard to security and privacy of company data.

Select two of the following technologies to focus on in your business systems analysis paper:

 Big data and knowledge management

 Wireless, mobile computing, and mobile commerce

 Social computing

 Cloud computing

 Business analytics and business intelligence solutions

 Intelligent systems

Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:

I. Introduction: In this section, you will briefly introduce the small business from the case scenario, and the problem that it is trying to solve.

A. Clearly state the problem that the business owner is seeking to solve. Be sure to address the question of what your business ultimately wants to do.

B. Identify and briefly describe the two technologies from the list provided that you will research in your business systems analysis.

II. Business Requirements: In this section, you will determine what the business requirements are for solving the stated problem, and establish the criteria that will help form your technology recommendations. You will also articulate why the business owner should undertake the project of integrating new technology.

ii. What are the desired results at the end of the project?

iii. Why is it important for your business owner to consider implementing new technology?

C. State the key technological requirements that will be required of any new technology in order to effectively solve your business’s problem. In other words, what specifically does the technology need to be capable of doing? (These are the technology requirements in the decision matrix.)

III. Competitors and Technology: In this section, you will describe two competing companies that operate in the same industry as your business. You will also explain how a company uses the two technologies that you are investigating in order to determine if the technology may be appropriate for your business to use. Remember that a list of competing companies was provided to you in the final project case scenario.

A. Technology One: Select one company in the same industry as your own that uses this technology. Briefly describe what that company does and how it uses this technology to support its business in general. Include specific examples.

B. Technology Two: Select one company in the same industry as your own that uses this technology. Briefly describe what that company does and how it uses this technology to support its business in general. Include specific examples.

C. Referring to what you learned in your research on the companies above, explain one specific way in which one of the companies is benefitting from technology, and describe the potential benefit to your business if you were to adopt the same approach.

IV. Technology Solutions: In this section, you will discuss how each of the two technologies meets the technology requirements that you identified in section II. Use your decision matrix to guide your responses.

B. Explain the overall benefit of your recommended technology solution to your business. Consider the following:

A. Explain the security features your recommended technology solution should have.

B. Briefly explain what your business should consider in regard to security and privacy as you seek out third-party vendors for the proposed technology.
