Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

The correct answer would be options A and B.

Explanation:

When a company is in financial trouble or faced a bankruptcy, then a process of reorganization is used in an attempt to extend the life of the company through some special arrangement to make the organization successful and progressive.

In this question, Jim wants to know how employees of the company think of the new structure after the reorganization. So the best method to talk to employees directly is to give them a surprise visit and talk to them about the reorganization. Also town hall meetings should be arranged to meet the employees one on one in an informal gathering and talk to them about the reorganization.

Fruit Trees = $3,100,000 * 4% = $124,000

w2. Allocation of common expenses using the following assuptions:

a) Use cost of goods sold (COGS) to allocate Common fixed overhead:

Poinsettias = (460,000 / 2,090,000) * $800,000 = $176,077

Fruit Trees = (1,630,000 / 2,090,000) * $800,000 = $623,923

b) Use common selling and administrative expense using Sales:

Poinsettias = (970,000 / 4,070,000) * $450,000 = $176,077

Fruit Trees = (3,100,000 / 4,070,000) * $450,000 = $623,923
