Answer:

Healthy Beverage Inc.

a) Differential Analysis

1) Continue Fruit Cola (Alt. 1)

Sales                            $12,750,000

Cost of goods sold         8,500,000

Gross profit                  $4,250,000

Operating expenses      6,000,000

Loss from operations ($1,750,000)

2) Discontinue Fruit Cola (Alt. 2)

Differential Effect on Income (Alternative 2):

Fixed costs:

Cost of goods sold        $2,125,000

Operating expenses          900,000

Income (Loss)               ($3,025,000)

b. Should Fruit Cola be retained ?

The production and sale of the Fruit Cola should be continued.  Discontinuing it would not save the company the incurrence of the fixed cost.

Explanation:

Differential analysis is a managerial accounting technique for analyzing the different costs and benefits that would arise from alternative solutions to a particular problem.

In the above scenario, discontinuing the production and sale of Fruit Cola would not save the company the fixed costs, so the product should be continued.  It is not the product that is causing the net loss but allocated fixed costs.  Fixed cost is a sunk cost that is not relevant in differential analysis type of decision making.

A low P/E for a stock indicates that:
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

(A). People may expect earnings to fall in the future, perhaps because the firm will be faced with increased competition.

Explanation:

Price Earnings ratio of a company represents market price per share of a company's stock in relation to it's earnings per share.

Price Earnings ratio(PER) is given by the following formula:

PER = \frac{Market\ Price\ Per\ Share}{Earnings\ Per\ Share}

A lower P/E Ratio indicates that a company's market price of a share is lower relative to it's earnings. This means the company's stock is undervalued.

It can also mean that the company's earnings have increased which in turn has increased it's earnings per share.  

Investors in general expect lower earnings in future for the stock of a company with low P/E Ratio.

Would Davidson Masonry automatically be taxed as a partnership or a corporation? Is Davidson Masonry member managed or manager m
vichka [17]

Answer: The answers are provided below.

Explanation:

In Papagos Arizona, a deteriorating bridge on a prominent public roadway needed a repair. The city posted notices seeking proposals for an artistic bridge design and reconstruction. Davidson Masonry, LLC owned and managed by Carl Davidson and his wife - Marilyn Rowe, decided to submit a bid for a decorative concrete project that incorporated artistic metalwork. They contacted Shana Lafayette, a local sculptor who specialized in large-scale metal forms, to help them design the bridge. The city selected their bridge design and awarded them the contract for a commission of $184,000. Davidson Masonry and Lafayette then entered into an agreement to work together on the bridge project. Davidson Masonry agreed to install and pay for concrete and structural work, and Lafayette agreed to install the metalwork at her expense. They agreed that overall profits would be split, with 25 percent going to Lafayette and 75 percent going to Davidson Masonry. Lafayette designed numerous metal sculptures of salmon that were incorporated into colorful decorative concrete forms designed by Rowe, while Davidson performed the structural engineering. The group worked together successfully until the project was completed. Using the information presented in the chapter, answer the above question.

1. Would Davidson Masonry automatically be taxed as a partnership or a corporation?

2. Is Davidson Masonry member managed or manager managed?

3. When Davidson Masonry and Lafayette entered an agreement to work together, what kind of special business form was created? Explain.

4. Suppose that during construction, Lafayette had entered into an agreement to rent space in a warehouse that was close to the bridge so that she could work on her sculptures near the site where they would eventually be installed. She entered into the contract without the knowledge or consent of Davidson Masonry. In this situation, would a court be likely to hold that Davidson Masonry was bound by the contract that Lafayette entered? Why or why not?

1. A limited liability company will be taxed as a partnership unless the firm declares that it wants to be taxed as a corporation. A limited liability company that has at least two members can either choose to be taxed as a partnership or as a corporation.

In this case, the parties involved haven't declared to be taxed as a corporation, therefore they'll be taxed as a partnership.

2. Most states assume that a limited liability company is manager managed unless when it's otherwise stated by the articles of the organization. However, in this case, the text said that Davidson Masonry, was owned and managed by both members and since all the members of the LLC participates in management, then Davidson Masonry was member managed.

3. The kind of special business formed is a joint venture. Masonry and Lafayette then entered into an agreement to work together on the bridge project. Davidson Masonry agreed to install and pay for concrete and structural work, and Lafayette agreed to install the metalwork at her expense. They agreed to share the profit by ratio of 75% to 25%.

Joint Venture is a kind of business that is formed when two businesses combine their resources together and meet their different skill set in order to achieve a common business objective.

4. Joint venture possesses less power to bind members underlying the venture when compared to partnership. In this scenario, Lafayette had entered into an agreement to rent space without the knowledge or the consent of Davidson Masonry.

Based on this, Davidson Masonry is bound on the contract that Lafayette enters based on the principles of joint venture as both the members will be held liable for the agreement concerning the warehouse space.

1. Select why manufacturers use a predetermined overhead rate to apply manufacturing overhead to their jobs. (You may select mor
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

The correct answer is: Manufacturers use predetermined overhead rates to allocate to production jobs the production costs that are not directly traceable to specific jobs.

Explanation:

If we are able to trace a cost directly to a product we will not include it in manufacturing overhead. Manufacturing overhead was created to allocate costs that are not directly traceable to a product. It helps manufacturers to allocate costs with certain precision.

The need for ______________ can complicate information sharing among emergency personnel.
Yanka [14]

I believe the answer is: Advanced equipment

During emergency situation, many of the personnel would most likely be taken from volunteer groups who do not have affiliation with the federal organizations. Because of this, they would not have as much proficiency in handling advanced equipment like trained personnel.
