Compute the dollar amount of working capital that can be reduced at year-end if the ending heel raw material inventory is cut by half.

Note: The full question is attached as picture below

a.                                               No of unitsCost per unit   Total Cost

Beginning Inventory      1,200                     $8            $9,600  

Add Purchase                            35,000                  $8            $280,000  

Inventory available for              36,200                  $8             $289,600  

production

Less Inventory transferred to    33,200                 $8             $265,600  

production  (16,600 Pairs*2 Heels)

Ending Inventory                        3,000                  $8             $24,000

b. Working capital will be reduced by: (3,000*$8)/2 = $12,000

cognitive overload: having a lot on your mind impairs decision-making and tends to result in the simplest, but not necessarily best, option being selected.

empathy gaps: overlooking how you might feel in a different situation can result in unnecessary purchases, such as overbuying when shopping for food on an empty stomach.

optimism and overconfidence: wearing rose-tinted glasses and having unrealistic expectations about the future can affect money management and leave you unprepared for a change in circumstance.

instant gratification: seeking instant gratification drives impulsive spending and can undermine long-term planning and savings.

harmful habits: automatic or mindless behaviour can amplify a poor financial decision as it becomes a recurring event.

social norms: we are heavily influenced by the actions of others; while this can be in certain circumstances, it also contributes to the pressure to keep up with the joneses through conspicuous consumption.
