Answer:

We should discontinue Wimpy and we will be saving $2,000 as addition to the Net Margin.

Fixed Expenses will be incurred whether we produce or not, thus the deciding factor is a segment being able to generate a positive Contribution Margin.

By discontinuing Wimpy the allocated Fixed Expense will go up to $12,500 Per active unit from $10,000. Although Wimpy will yet retain its Fixed Expense.

<u>Benchmark of Flavors</u>

If we stop to produce Wimpy we would save $2,000 assuming we will yet incur the segment Fixed Expense of $14,000 in any case (decision: Discontinue)

If we stop to produce Mild we would lose $45,000 assuming we will yet incur the segment Fixed Expense of $50,000 in any case (decision: Continue)

If we stop to produce Medium we would lose $35,000 assuming we will yet incur the segment Fixed Expense of $28,000 in any case (decision: Continue)

If we stop to produce Hot we would lose $50,000 assuming we will yet incur the segment Fixed Expense of $40,000 in any case (decision: Continue)

If we stop to produce Atomic we would lose $162,000 assuming we will yet incur the segment Fixed Expense of $68,000 in any case (decision: Continue)

The W. J. Clinton Company issued 750 shares of $1 stated value common stock in exchange for land from the Whitewater Investment
MrMuchimi

Explanation:

The journal entry is as follows:

Land  Dr $70,000

Additional paid in capital  $5,000

             To Common stock $75,000

(Being the common stock is issued in exchanged for cash)

The computation of the additional paid in capital is shown below:

= Common stock - the appraised value of land

where,

The common stock = 750 shares × $100 = $75,000

And, the  appraised value of land is $70,000

So, the remaining balance is

= $75,000 - $70,000

= $5,000

The $5,000 would be recorded as an additional paid in capital
