Answer:
The name of the product is Coke and this is a Pestel Analysis.
PESTEL is short for Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Environmental, and Legal. All representing factors that can and will impact the operations of any business.
Explanation:
Coca-Cola is a global company with is in the business of providing refreshments to its customers by the sale of Soda or soft drinks. Because of the nature of the product, the industry in which they play is heavily regulated and they must use the best technology in order to stay relevant, competitive, and dominant in the market.
Political factors
One of the regulators to whom Coca-cola must dance to its tune is the Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) a Federal Agency of the Department of Health and Human Services in the US. All Coca-cola product must meet their requirements as stipulated by law. If the laws enforced by FDA changes it could adversely affect the distribution, taxes, accounting, and all other operations of Coca-Cola.
Economical factors
Some economic factors that may affect a business like Coca-cola are:
Interest rates, exchange rates, recession, Inflation, Taxes, Demand / Supply.
One critical factor in this group which the company must be on the lookout for always is changes in taste and demand. Consumers are making a shift globally towards more healthy alternatives to soda. This is because, as the world becomes more sedentary due to shifts in global economic patterns as induced by the pandemic, risk factors relating to health care on the increase. Hence consumers want to ensure that they cut down on foods and beverages that increase their predisposition to conditions such as obesity, cancer, high blood pressure, etc.
To stay relevant and competitive, the company has to seek out healthy drinks that speak to all the various localities (which are over 200 countries).
Social factors
Examples of social factors that can affect a business are:
e-commerce adaptation, purchasing habits, ease of adoption of technology, changes in customer service expectation, the education level of consumers.
The purchasing habit for Coca-cola is changing in lots of countries. People are becoming more predisposed to buying products online. How will that affect the demand for the company's products? Will it increase as online food orders increase? can the company position itself to take advantage of the trend? If yes, then it is making taking advantage of its changing social environment.
Technological factors
Adoption of best-in-class machinery is one of the strategies that has enabled Coca-Cola to achieve higher quality and quantity of its products. Speed of delivery, processes that are optimized for the lowest costs and highest outputs are now being made possible with advances in technology. Coca-cola is taking advantage of technology especially in regions such as Europe.
Legal factors
Product liability, third-party liability, employer-employee (labor) relations, compliance, and regulatory factors are all within the scope of Coca-Cola's legal universe. Constantly managing this space of its operations will keep it from experiencing avoidable erosion of its bottom line and brand equity.
Environmental factors
Companies no longer compete on the basis of profitability alone. Global companies are the target of onslaughts from those who campaign against the degradation of the environment. One way they do so is to discourage the consumption of the goods of a company whose activities are harming the environment.
So companies all over the world are not competing based on the triple bottom line criteria: People, Planet, Profit.
This answers the questions whether
Coca-cola is in compliance with international best practices as far as labor law is concerned;How does the company handle its effluents and wastes? is it just discharging them into the earth without treatment? or is it creatively converting them into economic products? how responsible is the company socially?then of course there is the issue of keeping the books in the blackCheers

c. labor of the clerical staff.
Answer:
b. units completed and transferred to finished goods.
c. units in ending work in process inventory.
b. labor of the maintenance employees.
c. labor of the clerical staff.
Explanation:
EUP stands for the "equivalent units of production". It is the largest number of the units a factory can produce during the period for a given cost if all the efforts were used for one type of unit only.
The assigned cost relates to the unites that is completed as well as transferred to the finished goods. It also refers to the units in the ending work in the process inventory.
Indirect labor cost is the cost that is associated with the cost of the labors which is not directly associated to the production of goods. It includes the cost of the labor for the clerical staff and also for the maintenance employees.

Caughlin Company needs to raise $75 million to start a new project and will raise the money by selling new bonds. The company will generate no internal equity for the foreseeable future. The company has a target capital structure of 75 percent common stock, 5 percent preferred stock, and 20 percent debt. Flotation costs for issuing new common stock are 11 percent, for new preferred stock, 8 percent, and for new debt, 3 percent.
What is the true initial cost figure the company should use when evaluating its project? (Enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, i.e. 1,234,567. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)
Initial cost $
Answer: $82,644,628
Explanation:
The true initial cost figure that the company should use when evaluating its project will be calculated as:
First we calculate the weighted average flotation which will be:
= (0.75 × 0.11) + (0.05 × 0.08) + (0.20 × 0.03)
= 9.25%
Therefore, the amount raised will be:
= 75 million / (1 - 9.25%)
= 75 million / (1 - 0.0925)
= $82,644,628
Therefore, the true initial cost is $82,644,628.

The Components Division has unused capacity and can produce the materials needed by the Instrument Division at a variable cost of $250 per unit.
Question Completion:
a. If a transfer price of $280 per unit is established and 50,000 units of materials transferred, with no reduction in the Components Division’s current sales, how much would T_Kong Industries’ total income from operations increase?
$
b. How much would the Instrument Division's income from operations increase?
$
c. How much would the Components Division's income from operations increase?
Answer:
T_Kong Industries
1. T_Kong Industries’ total income from operations would increase by;
= $2,550,000.
2. The Instrument Division's income from operations would increase by:
= $1,050,000.
3. The Components Division's income from operations would increase by:
= $1,500,000.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Outside supply price = $301 per unit
Variable cost per unit = $250
Transfer price = $280
Units transferred = 50,000
Increase in total income for T_Kong Industries = $2,550,000 ($301 - $250)50,000
Instrument Division's income would increase by $1,050,000 ($301 - $280)50,000
Increase in total income for the Components Division = $1,500,000 ($280 - $250)50,000
The Campbell Company is considering adding a robotic paint sprayer to its production line. The sprayer's base price is $940,000, and it would cost another $25,000 to install it. The machine falls into the MACRS 3-year class, and it would be sold after 3 years for $624,000. The MACRS rates for the first three years are 0.3333, 0.4445, and 0.1481. The machine would require an increase in net working capital (inventory) of $19,000. The sprayer would not change revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $301,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. Campbell's marginal tax rate is 25%.
Required:
a. What is the Year 0 net cash flow?
b. What are the net operating cash flows in Years 1, 2, 3?
c. What is the additional Year 3- cash flow (i.e. after tax salvage and the return of working capital)?
d. If the project's cost of capital is 12%, should the machine be purchased
Answer:
a. Year 0 Net Cash Flows = $984,000
b. We have:
Year 1 net operating cash flows = $306,159
Year 2 net operating cash flows = $332,986
Year 3 net operating cash flows = $261,479
c. Additional Year 3- cash flow = $504,877
d. The machine should be purchased.
Explanation:
We start by first calculating the following:
Initial Investment = Base Price + Modification Cost = $940,000 + $25,000 = $965,000
Useful Life = 3 years
Depreciation in Year 1 = 0.3333 * $965,000 = $321,634.50
Depreciation in Year 2 = 0.4445 * $965,000 = $428,942.50
Depreciation in Year 3 = 0.1481 * $965,000 = $142,916.50
Book Value at the end of Year 3 = $965,000 - $321,634.50 - $428,942.50 - $142,916.50 = $71,506.50
After-tax Salvage Value = Salvage Value - (Salvage Value - Book Value) * Marginal tax rate = $624,000 – ($624,000 - $71,506.50) * 25% = $485,877
Initial Investment in NWC = $19,000
We can now proceed as follows:
a. What is the Year 0 net cash flow?
Year 0 Net Cash Flows = Initial Investment + Initial Investment in NWC = $965,000 + $19,000 = $984,000
b. What are the net operating cash flows in Years 1, 2, 3?
Year 1 net operating cash flows = (Pretax Cost Saving * (1 - tax)) + (tax * Depreciation in year 1) = ($301,000 * (1 – 0.25)) + (0.25 * $321,634.50) = $306,159
Year 2 net operating cash flows = (Pretax Cost Saving * (1 - tax)) + (tax * Depreciation in year 2) = ($301,000 * (1 – 0.25)) + (0.25 * $428,942.50) = $332,986
Year 3 net operating cash flows = (Pretax Cost Saving * (1 - tax)) + (tax * Depreciation in year 3) = ($301,000 * (1 – 0.25)) + (0.25 * $142,916.50) = $261,479
c. What is the additional Year 3- cash flow (i.e. after tax salvage and the return of working capital)?
Additional Year 3- cash flow = NWC recovered + After-tax Salvage Value = $19,000 + $485,877 = $504,877
d. If the project's cost of capital is 12%, should the machine be purchased?
This can be determined from the net present value (NPV) calculated as follows:
NPV = -$984,000 + ($306,159/1.12^1) + ($332,986/1.12^2) + ($261,479/1.12^3) + ($504,877/1.12^3) = $100,287.71
Since the NPV of the machine of $100,287.71 is positive, the machine should be purchased.

Rawlings purchased a typewriter from Kroll Type-writer Co. for $600. At the time of the purchase, hemade an initial payment of $75 and agreed to paythe balance in monthly installments. A securityagreement that complied with the UCC was pre-pared, but no financing statement was ever filed forthe transaction. Rawlings, at a time when he stillowed a balance on the typewriter and without theconsent of Kroll, sold the typewriter to a neighbor.The neighbor, who had no knowledge of the securityinterest, used the typewriter in her home. Could Kroll repossess the typewriter from the neighbor?
Answer: Kroll cannot repossess the typewriter from the neighbor.
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, we can infer that Kroll cannot repossess the typewriter from the neighbor.
According to the UCC 9-320(b), when an individual purchases a particular consumer good in a situation whereby the individual isn't aware of the security interest and also when a financial statement wasn't filled, then the buyer is free from the security interest.
In this situation, even though a security agreement that complied with the UCC was pre-pared, but no financing statement was ever filed fort the transaction, this implies that Kroll cannot repossess back the typewriter as no financial statement was filed.
Allegheny Company ended Year 1 with balances in Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts of $58,000 and $2,700, respectively. During Year 2, Allegheny wrote off $4,800 of Uncollectible Accounts. Using the percent of receivables method, Allegheny estimates that the ending Allowance for Doubtful Accounts balance should be $4,400. What amount will Allegheny report as Uncollectible Accounts Expense on its Year 2 income statement
Answer:
The amount of the allowance for the year to be reported in income statement is $6,500.
Explanation:
The amount of the allowance for the year to be reported in income statement can be calculated as follows:
Allowance for the year to be reported in income statement = Ending ending Allowance for Doubtful Accounts balance + Uncollectible written off during the year - Opening Allowance for Doubtful Accounts balance = $4,400 + $4,800 - $2,700 = $6,500
Therefore, the amount of the allowance for the year to be reported in income statement is $6,500.

At the beginning of the month, the Forming Department of Martin Manufacturing had 29,000 units in inventory, 40% complete as to materials, and 15% complete as to conversion. During the month the department started 98,000 units and transferred 100,000 units to the next manufacturing department. At the end of the month, the department had 27,000 units in inventory, 90% complete as to materials and 60% complete as to conversion. How many units did the Forming Department start and complete in the current month
Answer:
71,000 units.
Explanation:
Units started and completed = Units Completed - Units in Opening Inventory
therefore
Units started and completed = 100,000 units - 29,000 units = 71,000 units
thus,
Units started and completed in the current month for the Forming Department is 71,000 units.
Jeff Heun, president of Splish Always, agrees to construct a concrete cart path at Dakota Golf Club. Splish Always enters into a contract with Dakota to construct the path for $200,000. In addition, as part of the contract, a performance bonus of $34,000 will be paid based on the timing of completion. The performance bonus will be paid fully if completed by the agreed-upon date. The performance bonus decreases by $8,500 per week for every week beyond the agreed-upon completion date. Jeff has been involved in a number of contracts that had performance bonuses as part of the agreement in the past. As a result, he is fairly confident that he will receive a good portion of the performance bonus. Jeff estimates, given the constraints of his schedule related to other jobs, that there is 55% probability that he will complete the project on time, a 30% probability that he will be 1 week late, and a 15% probability that he will be 2 weeks late.

Jan. 27 Sale 100 $9 900
Total goods available 410 $2,520
Total goods sold 300 $2,590
Ending inventory 110
Using FIFO under periodic system:
Ending inventory = 110 * $7 = $770
Cost of goods sold = Cost of goods available minus cost of ending inventory
= $2,520 - $770
= $1,750
Using FIFO under perpetual system:
Cost of goods sold:
Jan. 4 Sale $400 (80 * $5)
Jan. 13 Sale 700 (20 * $5 + 100 * $6)
Jan. 27 Sale 650 (50 * $6 + 50 * $7)
Total cost of goods sold $1,750
Ending inventory = $2,520 - $1,750 = $770
LBC Corporation makes and sells a product called Product WZ. Each unit of Product WZ requires 2.4 hours of direct labor at the rate of $20.00 per direct labor-hour. Management would like you to prepare a Direct Labor Budget for June. The company plans to sell 43,000 units of Product WZ in June. The finished goods inventories on June 1 and June 30 are budgeted to be 550 and 110 units, respectively. Budgeted direct labor costs for June would be:
Answer:
Total direct labor hours= 102,144
Total direct labor costs= $2,042,880
Explanation:
Giving the following formula:
Standard quantity= 2.4 hours
Standard rate= $20 per hour
First, we need to calculate the production required:
Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Production= 43,000 + 110 - 550
Production= 42,560 units
Now, the direct labor budget:
Total direct labor hours= 42,560*2.4= 102,144
Total direct labor costs= 102,144*20= $2,042,880

Currently, Forever Flowers Inc. has a capital structure consisting of 20% debt and 80% equity. Forever's debt currently has an 7% yield to maturity. The risk-free rate (rRF) is 3%, and the market risk premium (rM - rRF) is 8%. Using the CAPM, Forever estimates that its cost of equity is currently 13.5%. The company has a 40% tax rate. What is Forever's current WACC
Answer:
WACC = 11.6%
Explanation:
The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is the average cost of all the various sources of long-term finance used by a business weighted according to the proportion which each source of finance bears to the the entire pool of fund.
To calculate the weighted average cost of capital, follow the steps below:
Step 1: Calculate cost of individual source of finance
Cost of Equity= 13.5%
After-tax cost of debt:
= (1- T) × before-tax cost of debt
= 7%× (1-0.4)= 4.2%
Step 2 : calculate the proportion or weight of the individual source of finance . (This already given)
Equity = 80%
Debt= 20%
Step 3:Work out weighted average cost of capital (WACC)
WACC = ( 13.5%× 80%) + ( 4.2%× 20%) = 11.64%
WACC = 11.6%
