When Coca-Cola purchased first a part and then all of Honest Tea, what would have been appropriate ways to help this change be s
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

The most applicable choices in the order of importance are

C, B then A. Of course, they have to be applied at various stages of the acquisition.

Explanation:

C should have occurred (if possible) before the acquisition. Usually, when there is a major acquisition such as the one described above, it comes with good and bad tidings.

In some cases, especially one involving a large and efficient system like Coca-Cola, many positions become redundant.

In other cases, people are worried if their compensation will be affected. There are usually questions such as:

  • Will my compensation be reviewed upwards or, downwards?
  • Will my insurance or 401K be affected adversely? e.t.c.

Thus, executing a survey of Honest Teas' employees to identify such sources of anxiety and conflict related to the acquisition with the goal to address them constructively, will help the change to be successful.

Option B is one strategy that ought to have been executed upon the conclusion and official announcement of the acquisition exercise. This is the most crucial and maybe the most important part of the acquisition/takeover process.

This is true especially if there is going to be changes in management,  communication styles, and the culture.  Other benefits of team building excercises are, it increases and or improves:

  • Productivity
  • Morale
  • Staff Motivation and
  • Communication all of which are critical to the success of any organisation.

Option C: On the balance of probability, it is expected that when a bigger company like Coca-Cola acquires a smaller one, the process comes with a lot of benefits. One of such benefits is the payroll upgrade.

After all is said and done, it will serve to boost the motivation and morale of the staff if Honest Tea began to use Coca-Cola's payroll which is likely to be more robust.

Because Cocal-cola is an older, more experience and more global company, it is more likely to have more efficient reimbursement systems. If these are inculcated into the Honest Tea process, with adequate training on how to use it, it will also serve to ensure homogeneity of systems and operations which is critical to the success of an acquisition.

Cheers!

The bank pay for the use of money in the form of
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

see below

Explanation:

Banks pay interest on customer deposits. It means that a customer's deposit will grow if left at the banks for some period. When a customer deposits, the bank retains only a small fraction of the money in its custody. The bigger portion is loaned out to other customers. Therefore, a bank uses customer deposits to create loans. In return, the banks will pay customers interest for the use of their deposits. Banks also charge interest when they loan out money.

There is no specific question but I will solve for Marcus net earnings for the year.

25 hours/week * 52 weeks/yr = 1,300 hours/year

Wages: 10.50 per hour * 1,300 hours/year = $13,650 Gross salary per year
