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!

Suppose a firm in a competitive market earned $3,000 in total revenue and had a marginal revenue of $30 for the last unit produc
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

100 units were sold at $30 per unit

Explanation:

theoretically, in a perfect competition market, the price of a good = marginal revenue = marginal cost. Also, the market sets the price, not the individual firm.

If total revenue = $3,000 and marginal revenue per unit = $30, then we can assume that the sales price of each unit was $30, therefore, they sold $3,000 / $30 = 100 units.

The environmental protection agency of a county would like to preserve a piece of land as a wilderness area. The current owner h
charle [14.2K]

Answer: The answer is given below

Explanation:

Here , we are going to apply the present value of annuty formula.

a. Social Opportunity cost = $1.1 Million

The Yearly cash flows = $110,000

Time (n) = 20 years

The Discount rate (R) = 4%

Net benefits= Present value of cash inflows - the intial socail opportnity cost

Net benefits= Yearly cash flow × (1 - 1/(1+R)^n) / R - 1100000

Net benefits = 110000 × (1 - 1/1.04^20)/0.04 - (1100000)

= $394936

b. We will use the formula for present value of an annuity with the growth rate in benefits as 2 percent.

Firstly, dg= (0.04 - 0.02)/ (1+0.02)

= 0.01961

PV(benefits) = [($110,000)÷ (1+0.02)][1-(1+dg)-20]/dg]

= $1,770,045

NPV = $1,770,045 - $1,100,000= $670,045

The following does not describe the matching principle
Marizza181 [45]

Answer: The correct answer is c. Expenses are reported on the income statement when cash is paid.

Explanation: Matching principle states that expenses are matched with the related revenue in the same period, that is, expenses incurred to generate related revenue are recorded during the same time interval the related revenue is recorded in order to show the true and fair position of the profitability of the company.

Based on the above definition, <u>only option C does not align with the matching principle</u><u> </u>because expenses should be recorded in the income statement when incurred and NOT when cash is paid. If it is recorded when cash is paid, it means <em>cash basis of accounting</em> is being applied.
