2.Online banking refers to banking activities that are carried out over the Internet on a secure website. It developed in the late 1990s and grew more popular over the years since it can make one’s financial life much easier to manage. First, you can use online banking to pay your bills. Most banks have a section in which you set up payees. Fill out the information once, you can simply choose that profile every time you pay a bill online. Second, online banking allows you to access your account history and transactions from anywhere. It is the quickest way to check and see if a transaction has cleared your account. It also enables you to find out about unauthorized transactions more quickly. Third, online banking also allows you to transfer money between accounts effectively. It is more convenient than using the automated phone service. When you set up your online banking, be sure that all of your accounts at the bank are listed. This will make it easier to transfer money and make loan payments online. ? Obviously, you need to pay special attention to your safety or privacy using online banking. It is important to clear your cookies after each banking session, especially at a public computer. Additionally, make sure that your password is long enough to prevent it from easily being hacked. Never give your online account information to anyone else. Check your credit report regularly. Thus you can protect yourself from identity theft.1.

3.3 The directors of The Healthy Eating Group (HEG), a successful restaurant chain, which commenced trading in 1998,have decided to enter the sandwich market in Homeland, its country of operation. It has set up a separate operationunder the name of Healthy Sandwiches Co (HSC). A management team for HSC has been recruited via a recruitmentconsultancy which specialises in food sector appointments. Homeland has very high unemployment and the vastmajority of its workforce has no experience in a food manufacturing environment. HSC will commence trading on1 January 2008.The following information is available:(1) HSC has agreed to make and supply sandwiches to agreed recipes for the Superior Food Group (SFG) whichowns a chain of supermarkets in all towns and cities within Homeland. SFG insists that it selects the suppliersof the ingredients that are used in making the sandwiches it sells and therefore HSC would be unable to reducethe costs of the ingredients used in the sandwiches. HSC will be the sole supplier for SFG.(2) The number of sandwiches sold per year in Homeland is 625 million. SFG has a market share of 4%.(3) The average selling price of all sandwiches sold by SFG is $2·40. SFG wishes to make a mark-up of 331/3% onall sandwiches sold. 90% of all sandwiches sold by SFG are sold before 2 pm each day. The majority of theremaining 10% are sold after 8 pm. It is the intention that all sandwiches are sold on the day that they aredelivered into SFG’s supermarkets.(4) The finance director of HSC has estimated that the average cost of ingredients per sandwich is $0·70. Allsandwiches are made by hand.(5) Packaging and labelling costs amount to $0·15 per sandwich.(6) Fixed overheads have been estimated to amount to $5,401,000 per annum. Note that fixed overheads includeall wages and salaries costs as all employees are subject to fixed term employment contracts.(7) Distribution costs are expected to amount to 8% of HSC’s revenue.(8) The finance director of HSC has stated that he believes the target sales margin of 32% can be achieved, althoughhe is concerned about the effect that an increase in the cost of all ingredients would have on the forecast profits(assuming that all other revenue/cost data remains unchanged).(9) The existing management information system of HEG was purchased at the time that HEG commenced trading.The directors are now considering investing in an enterprise resource planning system (ERPS).Required:(a) Using only the above information, show how the finance director of HSC reached his conclusion regardingthe expected sales margin and also state whether he was correct to be concerned about an increase in theprice of ingredients.

    (b) Write a letter to Joanne setting out the value added tax (VAT) registration requirements and advising on

    whether or not she should or could register for VAT and if registered if she could recover the VAT suffered on

    the consultancy fees and computer purchased in October 2005. (7 marks)


    正确答案:
    (b) [Joanne’s address] [Firm’s address]
    Dear Joanne 5 February 2006
    I am writing to you in order to set out the value added tax (VAT) issues you face on registering your trade, together with some
    other aspects of VAT that are relevant to you.
    Registration
    VAT registration is compulsory once taxable supplies exceed £58,000. This turnover figure is based on the value of your
    cumulative taxable supplies in the previous 12 months. You have an obligation to inform. Customs within 30 days of the end
    of the month in which the annual limit is exceeded. Registration will become effective on the first day of the following month.
    VAT registration is also required if there are reasonable grounds for believing that the taxable supplies in the following 30 days
    will exceed £58,000. In such cases, notification is required by the end of that 30 day period with registration being effective
    from the start of that period.
    Based on your estimates of taxable supplies, you will exceed the annual limit in October 2006 when your cumulative turnover
    will be £62,000. You will therefore have to inform. Customs by the end of November. Your registration will be effective as of
    1 December 2006.
    You also have the option of voluntarily registering prior to then in which case you will normally become registered from the
    date you applied. This is useful where your sales are to VAT registered customers for whom the extra VAT would not be a cost.
    You would then be able to recover VAT on your attributable costs. However, you will have to comply with the VAT
    administrative requirements.
    Recovery of pre-registration VAT
    It is possible to claim the recovery of VAT incurred prior to registering for VAT. There are some conditions, however. The costs
    of the goods or services must have been incurred for the purpose of the business and there are time limits. You have three
    years from the effective date of registration to recover the VAT on fixed assets (such as your computer) but only six months in
    the case of purchased services (such as the consultancy fees).
    As a result, I would recommend that you apply for voluntary registration as soon as possible, as registering after 1 April 2006
    will mean that you will be unable to reclaim the VAT on your consultancy fees.
    I hope the above information is useful to you.
    Yours sincerely,
    A. Consultant.

What is the least amount, in dollars, that Judy can spend for her intended number of visits? dollars
