What are the strengths and weaknesses of the Campbell Soup Company's marketing?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

For one - their social media presance for a large corporation is really lacking. A company as well known as Campbell should be current in social media, they have not posted to in over a month.

They rely to heavily on the fact that they are the oldest name in the soup business and I feel like they are a little lazy when it comes to their marketing with other compitors on their heels.

Kenrick Corporation uses activity-based costing to compute product margins. In the first stage, the activity-based costing system allocates two overhead accounts equipment expense and indirect labor to three activity cost pools Processing, Supervising and Other based on resource consumption. Data to perform these allocations appear below.
Overhead costs
Equipment expense $18,000
Indirect labor $2,000
Distribution of Resource Consumption Across activity cost pools
Activity Cost Pools
Processing Supervising Other
Equipment expense 0.10 0.30 0.60
Indirect labor 0.30 0.40 0.30
In the second stage. Processing costs are assigned to products using machine-hours (MHs) and Supervising costs are assigned to products using the number of batches. The costs in the Other activity cost pool are not assigned to products. Activity data for the company's two products as follows.
Activity
MHs (Processing) Batches (Supervising)
Product U4 5,500 600
Product C7 4,500 1,400

On January 1 of the current year, Jimmy's Sandwich Company, Inc. reported stockholders' equity totaling $122,500. During the current year, total revenues were $96,000 while total expenses were $85,500. Also, during the current year the business paid $20,000 to the stockholders. No other changes in equity occurred during the year. If, on December 31 of the current year, total assets are $196,000, the change in stockholders' equity during the year was:

Answers

Answer:

The multiple choices are:

A decrease of $9,500.

An increase of $9,500.

An increase of $30,500.

A decrease of $30,500.

An increase of 73,500.

The correct option is  a decrease of $9,500

Explanation:

The changes in stockholders' equity is in the form of the difference between inflow to stockholders and outflow to stockholders.

Inflow to stockholders is the earnings attributable to them in form of net income while outflow is the dividends paid to them.

net income=revenues-expenses=$96,000-$85,500=$10,500

Dividends were paid to the tune of $20,000

change in stockholders' equity=$10,500-$20,000=-$9,500

In essence ,the opening balance of stockholders' equity went down by $9,500 since the net income generated of $10,500 was not enough to fund dividend payment

Assume that the economy has three types of people. 20% are fad followers, 75% are passive investors and 5% are informed traders. The portfolio consisting of all informed traders has a beta of 1.4 and an expected return of 12.4%. The market has an expected return of 10% and the risk-free rate is 4%. The expected return for the fad follower's portfolio is closest to:__________.
a. 11.5%
b. 13.6%
c. 16%
d. 12.4%

Answers

Answer: a. 11.5%

Explanation:

Fad followers are those investors who follow a trend when it emerges and as such their betas will be less than that of informed traders because the informed traders would have acted first.

Using the Capital Asset Pricing Model to calculate expected return.

Er = Rf + b( Rm - Rf)

Er = Expected return

Rf = Risk Free Rate

b = Beta

Rm = Market Return.

The Expected Return for the Informed Investors is,

= 4% + 1.4 ( 10% - 4%)

= 4% + 1.4 ( 6%)

= 12.4%

With the Fad followed expected to have a lower beta and therefore a lower expected return than the Informed Investors, the only suitable option is the 11.5%.

Victory Company uses weighted-average process costing to account for its production costs.
Conversion costs are added evenly throughout the process.
Direct materials are added at the beginning of the process.
During November, the company transferred 800,000 units of product to finished goods.
At the end of November, the work in process inventory consists of 187,000 units that are 60% complete with respect to conversion.
Beginning inventory had $192,465 of direct materials and $159,635 of conversion cost.
The direct material cost added in November is $1,288,035 and the conversion cost added is $3,033,065.
Beginning work in process consisted of 74,000 units that were 100% complete with respect to direct materials and 80% complete with respect to conversion.
Of the units completed, 74,000 were from beginning work in process and 726,000 units were started and completed during the period.
Required:1. Determine the equivalent units of production with respect to direct labor and direct materials.2. Compute both the direct labor cost and the direct materials cost per equivalent unit. (Round "Cost per EUP" to 2 decimal places.)3. Compute both direct labor cost and direct materials cost assigned to units completed and transferred out and ending goods in process inventory. (Round "Cost per EUP" to 2 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

1. Direct Materials = 987,000 units , Direct Labor = 912,200 units

2.Direct Materials = $1.50 , Direct Labor = $3.50

3.

Units Completed and Transferred Costs

Direct Materials = $ 1,200,000

Direct Labor =  $ 2,800,000

Ending goods in process inventory cost

Direct Materials = $ 280,500

Direct Labor = $ 392,700

Explanation:

First step is to determine the equivalent units of production with respect to direct labor and direct materials

Direct Materials

Note : Materials are added at beginning of the process hence, they are 100 % complete for both units categories

Units Completed and Transferred (800,000 × 100%) =  800,000

Units of Ending Work In Process (187,000 × 100%)     =   187,000

Equivalent units of production                                      =   987,000

Direct Labor

Note : Conversion costs are added evenly throughout the process, hence we need to establish units to the extent of work done.

Units Completed and Transferred (800,000 × 100%) =  800,000

Units of Ending Work In Process (187,000 × 60%)     =      112,200

Equivalent units of production                                      =    912,200

The next step is to Calculate the Total Cost of Production with respect to direct labor and direct materials incurred during the period.

Direct Materials

Cost in Opening Work In Process =    $192,465

Cost added during the period       = $1,288,035

Total Costs                                      = $1,480,500

Conversion

Cost in Opening Work In Process =     $159,635

Cost added during the period       = $3,033,065

Total Costs                                      =  $3,192,700

Then use the above data to calculate the cost per equivalent unit for direct labor and direct materials.

Cost per equivalent unit. = Total Cost / Total Equivalent units

Direct Materials = $1,480,500 / 987,000 = $1.50

Direct Labor = $3,192,700 / 912,200 = $3.50

CONCLUSION :

Units Completed and Transferred Costs

Direct Materials = (800,000 ×  $1.50) = $ 1,200,000

Direct Labor = (800,000 ×  $3.50) = $ 2,800,000

Ending goods in process inventory cost

Direct Materials = (187,000 ×  $1.50) = $ 280,500

Direct Labor = (112,200 ×  $3.50) = $ 392,700

General Discussion Questions What should business leaders take away from this scandal? What could Wells Fargo have done differently to avert this cultural meltdown? Practice of Ethical Leadership Questions Modeling Character and Values: What values did Stumpf model to Wells Fargo employees? What impact might that have on the culture of Wells Fargo? Encouraging Ethical Conduct: What behaviors can leaders model in order to encourage ethical behavior in their organization? Designing Ethical Systems: Wells Fargo did have some systems in place, like the ethics hotline, to report unethical behavior, but it didn’t work. Why do you think that is? What steps can leaders take to design systems that encourage ethical behavior rather than unethical behavior?

Answers

Answer:

From this scandal, business leaders should learn to:

(a) not encourage unethical practices directly or indirectly among employees.

(b) not set unrealistic targets for employees to achieve within an unrealistic time-frame.

(c) Institute measures to prevent unethical practices.

(d) Encourage honest employees to grow in the company.

(e) Honor adherence to regulatory framework as applicable to the company.

Wells Fargo could have done differently in these manner:

(a) When the first incident of aggressive sales practice was reported in year 2004 with identified incidents from year 2002, they could have instituted measures to prevent recurrence of such incidents. Some of the practical and workable measures are enumerated in succeeding paragraphs.

(b) Convene a meeting of senior managers to provide them with appropriate guidelines so as not to repeat such incidents.

(c) Instruct senior managers to advise their juniors to refrain from any such aggressive sales practices.

(d) Investigate to determine the extent of impact of aggressive sales practices as on 2004 and take remedial actions against those who are engaged in such activities.

(e) Promote the whistle-blower method of instantaneous reporting of an incident by anyone who has witnessed such an incident.

(f) Reward employees having honesty, integrity and moral values.

Practice of Ethical Leadership Questions

CEO John Stumpf’s model was to aggressively cross-sell products by any means. While leading the bank in doing so, he had compromised on the minimum value system that any financial institution or any company must adhere to. The cultural impact that had on Wells Fargo is listed below:

(a) Employees were pressurized for resorting to unethical practices.

(b) Employees reporting matters on unethical practices were punished.

(c) The performance management/ measurement system, in effect, encouraged dishonesty in employees.

(d) The compensation system was skewed in favor of bonus.

(e) Since, the supervisors pressurized employees, the structural dishonesty within the organization was evident.

Leaders can encourage ethical behavior in their organization in the following manner:

(a) Demonstrate personal ethics in their words and actions.

(b) Instruct senior managers to strictly adhere to the ethical norms to be followed.

(c) Instruct senior managers to communicate company’s ethical agenda to the supervisors/ other junior employees within their departments/ sections.(d) Monitor adherence to / violation of ethical practices on a regular basis.(e) Institute immediate remedial measures to prevent recurrence of any unethical practice.

(f) Encourage employees to report incidents of unethical practices.

(g) Reward honest and hardworking employees.

Well Fargo’s system of ensuring Ethical System within the bank, such as ethics hotline to report unethical behavior did not work because, the top management, led by the CEO did not pay any importance to prevention of unethical practices. Rather, they steered in an organized and structured manner to promote unethical practices.

Leaders can take the following steps to design systems that encourage ethical behavior:

(a) The top leaders must “think ethics”, “speak ethics” and “act ethics”. This is the top most fundamental step in the direction of designing systems to encourage ethical behavior.

(b) Matters on “what is ethical and what is not ethical” must be circulated across the organization.

(c) Periodic briefing must take place from the top management to the junior most employees in a structured and organized manner.

(d) Encouragement on reporting (whistle-blowing) incidents of unethical practices must be given.

(e) System of rewarding honest and hardworking employees must be put in place.

What is the company’s financial position? Please refer to the income statement and balance sheet for the Exceptional Service Grading Company available here. Using the learning resources provided in the Reading Assignment, perform a financial ratio analysis of the company using the following ratios: • Gross profit margin • Current ratio • Debt ratio

Answers

Answer:

Gross profit margin requires revenue and gross profit of the company.

Current ratio = 1.386 x

Debt ratio = 0.123 x

Explanation:

Gross profit margin requires revenue and gross profit of the company which is provided in the question but it can be calculated using this formula ; Total revenue / gross profit . where Gross profit = Revenue - cost of goods sold

Current ratio is calculated using the formula ; current assets/ current liabilities lets assume the left column is for the most recent year then current ratio =  4612200/3325950 = 1.386x

Debt ratio is calculated using the formula ; total debts/total assets lets assume once more that the left column is the most recent year. note; total debts = long term + current notes payable  = 454800 + 277550

therefore debt ratio = 732350 / 5957800 = 0.123x

Aston, a tenant in Jackie's apartment, had repeatedly complained about the leaky faucets in the apartment. However, Jackie was not interested in doing anything about it. Under the landlord and tenant law, what remedies did Aston have?

a. To terminate the lease, then seek damages or rent adjustment.
b. To seek constructive eviction.
c. To obtain a court order for quiet enjoyment.
d. To obtain the doctrine of caveat emptor under the common law.
e. None, because she was on a periodical tenancy.

Answers

Answer:

a. To terminate the lease, then seek damages or rent adjustment.

Explanation:

when a landlord breaches his/her duties, the tenant has three available remedies:

terminationdamages rent adjustment

Generally when things like this happen, the tenant will terminate the contract and in order to do so must leave the premises and notify the landlord that he/she is doing so and the reasons why. Then the tenant can seek compensation for damages caused by the landlord's breach of duties. Damages are generally limited to relocation costs, e.g. costs of finding a new apartment and moving there.

If Aston decided to stay at the apartment, he could seek to fix the plumbing issues and seek compensation from the landlord.

Out of the possible options, option a is correct.

There are 100 used laptop g for sale on the market. 40% of them are in good condition, and the rest of them are broken, which is the common knowledge to the owners and the buyers. Owners of broken laptops are willing to sell them for $300. Owners of good used laptops are willing to sell them if the price is above $1600 but will keep them if the price is lower than $1600. There is a large number of potential buyers who are willing to pay $2000 for a good laptop and $600 for a broken laptop. Buyers can't tell good laptops from bad, but original owners know. In equilibrium, what could be the maximum price set for a broken laptop to be sold

Answers

Answer:

In equilibrium the maximum price set for a broken laptop to be sold is $600

Explanation:

According to the given data we have the following:

It is given that 40% laptops are in good condition. This implies that 60% are in bad condition.

In ordert to calculate the maximum price set for a broken laptop to be sold we would have to calculate the expected price that the buyers will be willing to pay for a  laptop as follows:

Expected price=0.60($2000)+0.40($600)

Expected price=$1,200+$240

Expected price=$1,440

As the owners of good laptops are willing to sell their laptops for $1,800, whis is more that $1,440, they will not sell their products.

This implies that only bad laptops are sold in the market. The willingless to pay for the bad laptops is $600

Therefore, In equilibrium the maximum price set for a broken laptop to be sold is $600

4.  Ending balance in Work-in-Process Control account is $448,920

Explanation:

                                A                              B                          C

1)   Rowan Company, May 2016           Job M1              Job M2

2)  Direct materials                             $ 75,000             $ 56,000

3)  Direct manufacturing labour          275,000                209,000

Direct manufacturing labour is paid at the rate of $25 per hour

Manufacturing overhead costs are allocated at a budgeted rate of $22 per direct manufacturing labour-hour

1. Direct labor rate = $25 per hour

Direct labor hours used on Job M1 = Direct manufacturing labor ÷ Direct labor rate

= 275,000 ÷ 25

= $ 11,000

Manufacturing overhead applied to Job M1 = Direct labor hours used on Job M1 x 22

= $11,000 x 22

= $242,000

Job cost sheet (Job M1)

Direct material  = $75,000

Direct labor = $275,000

Overhead applied  = $242,000

Total cost = $592,000

2.  Cost per unit = Total cost ÷ Number of units

= 592,000 ÷ 1,600

= $370

3. Journal

Finished goods inventory 592,000  

Work in process inventory                    592,000

4.  Direct labor hours used on Job M2 = Direct manufacturing labor/Direct labor rate

= 209,000 ÷ 25

= $8,360

Manufacturing overhead applied to Job M2 = Direct labor hours used on Job M2 x 22

= $8,360 x 22

= $183,920

Job cost sheet (Job M2)

Direct material  = $56,000

Direct labor  = $209,000

Overhead applied  = $183,920

Total cost  = $448,920

Ending balance in work in process control account = $448,920

Identify a true statement about the per-unit expenditure method of determining advertising budget. It bases its advertising budgets on those of competitors or other members of the industry. It attempts to determine the retail price by using production costs as a base. It sets the advertising budget as a predetermined share of profits or financial resources. It involves arguing for and presenting the advertising budget on the basis of research findings.

Answers

Answer: It attempts to determine the retail price by using production costs as a base.

Explanation:

The Per-unit expenditure approach to advertising sets the retail price based on the production cost. This means that the amount to be set for advertising is based on a fixed amount that is determined by how many units of a good the company expects to sell so that the advertising is based on how much it spent in production.

Explanation:

1. Earnings per share = net income / average shares outstanding = $193,900 / 13,000 stocks = $14.92

2. Dividend payout ratio = total dividends / net income = ($2.55 x 13,000) / $193,900 = $33,150 / $193,900 = 17.1%

3. Dividend yield ratio = dividend per share / market price per share = $2.55 / $70 = 3.6%

4. Price-earnings ratio = price per share / earnings per share = $70 / $14.92 = 4.7

5. Book value per share = (stockholders' equity - preferred stocks) / total number of stocks outstanding = $871,000 / 13,000 = $67

c. the inflation rate.
d. the poll ratings of the president

Answers

The answer is A , because the natural unemployment rate

Each of the following likely to be affected by a recession is the cyclical unemployment rate. The correct option is b.

What is a recession?

The term "recession" is used in economics to describe the economic downturn brought on by a reduction in supply or demand. The production, employment, and income of domestic economies generally diminish, which in turn results in additional drops in demand and investment, lengthening the recessive process.

Because of this, when demand or production falls, the recession tends to last longer, deepen, and speed up, signaling that the affected nation's domestic economy will be in decline.

A recession is a time in the economy when growth is generally slow, yet inflation is also high. It is crucial that market forces operate independently, without interference from the government, in order to prevent a recession.

Therefore, the correct option is b. the cyclical unemployment rate.

Explanation:

An Eclectic Paradigm is also called a OLI Framework which is an acronym that stands for Ownership, Location, Internationalization.

Companies use this theory in cost based analysis to determine if they can reduce costs by producing in house as opposed to from the market.

It is usually applied to the area of Foreign Direct Investment where companies use it to decide if it is better to invest in another country and have easier access to goods that it needs as opposed to buying it from the market. If it is shown that they stand to gain more from investing directly in another country, they will use this option.

This is the theory that Bronze Plate Inc wants to use.

On January 1, 20x1, the ABC Corporation purchased 80% of the XYZ Company's voting stock for $3,000,000. The FMV of all of XYZ's stock was $4,025,000, and XYZ's net assets had a book value of $2,850,000; the fair values of XYZ's assets are equal to their book values, with the exception of land, which is $625,000 greater than its book value. Assuming that ABC Corporation used the acquisition method to prepare its consolidated balance sheet, how much goodwill was reported on the January 1, 20X1 consolidated balance sheet assuming that the "full goodwill" method is used?

Answers

Answer: $440000

Explanation:

Fair market value = $4025000

Book value of asset = $2,850,000

Land value = $625,000

The value of the goodwill will be

(Fair market value - book of asset - land value) × 80%

= ($4,025,000 - $2,850,000 - $625,000) × 80%

= 550000 × 80%

= 550000 × 0.8

= $440,000

Double-declining-balance $_________

Answers

Answer:

$15,660

$16,500

Explanation:

Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset

Depreciation factor = 2 x (1 / useful life)

2 x (1 / 4 ) = 0.5

The depreciation expense in the first year = 0.5 x $66,000 = $33,000

Book value = $66,000 - $33,000 = $33,000

The depreciation expense in the second year = 0.5 x $33,000 = $16,500

The Units of production method = (miles driven in the second year / estimated total miles that can be driven) x (Cost of asset - Salvage value)

(27,000 / 100,000) × ($66,000 - $8,000)

= 0.27 x $58,000 = $15,660

You are attempting to value a call option with an exercise price of $100 and one year to expiration. The underlying stock pays no dividends, its current price is $100, and you believe it has a 50% chance of increasing to $120 and a 50% chance of decreasing to $80. The risk-free rate of interest is 10%.Based upon your assumptions, calculate your estimate of the the call option's value using the two-state stock price model.

Answers

Answer:

$13.64

Explanation:

Given:

Exercise price,X = $100

Current price = $100

Value when price is up, uS = $120

Value when price is down, dS= $80

Risk free interest rate = 10%

First calculate hedge ratio, H:

[tex] H = \frac{C_u - C_d}{uS - dS} [/tex]

Where,

Cu = uS - X

= 120 - 100

= $20

[tex] H = \frac{20 - 0}{120 - 80} = \ftac{1}{2}[/tex]

A risk free portfolio involves one share and two call options.

Find cost of portfolio:

Cost of portfolio = Cost of stock - Cost of the two cells.

= $100 - 2C

This portfolio is risk free. The table below shows that

_______________

Portforlio 1:

Buy 1 share $80; Write 2 calls: $0; Total: ($80 + 0) $80

____________________

Portforlio 2:

Buy 1 share: $120; Write 2 calls: -$40; Total: ($120 - $40) $80

Check for oresent value of the portfolio:

Present value [tex] = \frac{80}{1 + 0.10} = 72.73 [/tex]

Value = exercise price - value of option

$72.73 = $100 - 2C

Find call option, C

[tex] C = \frac{100 - 72.73}{2} = 13.64 [/tex]

Call option's value = $13.64

Betty contributed land with a $6,000 basis and a $10,000 FMV to the ABC Partnership in Year 1. In Year 2, the land was distributed to Sally, another partner in the partnership. At the time of the distribution, the land had a $12,000 fair market value, and Sally had a $30,000 basis for her partnership interest. What gain is recognized by Betty on the distribution? What is Sally’s basis for the distributed land?

Answers

Answer:

a. Gain recognized by Betty on the distribution is $4,000.

b. Sally’s basis for the distributed land is therefore $10,000.

Explanation:

a. What gain is recognized by Betty on the distribution?

When an asset contributed by a partner to a partnership is distributed, the gain or loss to be recognized by the partner that contributed the asset is the difference between the fair market value (FMV) and the basis of the asset. Therefore, we have:

Gain recognized by Betty = FMV of the land - Basis of the land = $10,000 - $6,000 = $4,000

b. What is Sally’s basis for the distributed land?

When an asset of partnership is distributed to another partner in a partnership, the partner's basis for the distributed asset is the FMV of the distributed asset.

Since the FMV of the land contributed by Bettt but now distributed to Sally is $10,000, Sally’s basis for the distributed land is therefore $10,000.

Option A costs an initial $2 billion and will involve variable costs (labor and material) of $5 per bottle of spirits. Option B costs an initial $4 billion and will involve variable costs (labor and material) of $3 per bottle of spirits. Assuming an annual capital charge equal to 10 percent of the initial costs, what is the average fixed cost at production level of 20,000,000 bottles per year for the Option B facility

Answers

Answer: 20

Explanation:

Total cost of Option B = 4 billion

Total fixed cost = 10% of 4 billion

= 10/100 × 4,000,000,000

= 0.1 × 4,000,000,000

= 400,000,000

The average fixed cost is the total cost divided by the total number of output that is given. In this case, this can be calculated as:

= 400,000,000/20,000,000

= 20

The average fixed cost at production level of 20,000,000 bottles per year for the Option B facility will be 20.

company's perpetual preferred stock currently sells for $92.50 per share, and it pays an $8.00 annual dividend. If the company were to sell a new preferred issue, it would incur a flotation cost of 5.00% of the issue price. What is the firm's cost of preferred stock? Note: when flotation costs are given as a percentage instead of in dollar terms, the denominator in the formula changes from (P-F) to P*(1-F). Hint: remember that for preferred stock the growth rate of the dividend is zero.

Answers

Answer:

The firm's cost of preferred stock is  9.10%

Explanation:

The cost of preferred stock with the flotation of 5% would be the dividend payable by the preferred stock divided by the adjusted current market price(adjusted for flotation cost)

The dividend per year is $8

The adjusted price of the stock=$92.50*(1-f)

The donors stipulated that their contributions be used to purchase equipment for the hospital. As of June 30, 20X9, the end of the hospital's fiscal year, $12,000 of the contributions had been spent on equipment acquisitions. In the hospital's general fund, what account would be credited to recognize the release of the restrictions on the temporarily restricted contributions used to acquire equipment

Answers

Answer: Net Assets Released from Equipment Acquisition Restriction.

Explanation:

When the stipulations by a donor have been satisfied, the assets involved can be removed from being restricted to now being unrestricted. The account credited to recognize this is known as the Net assets released from *asset name* acquisition restriction.

In the above case, the company purchased some equipment with the money they were donated which means that the equipment had satisfied the stipulation for which they were donated funds for. The Net Assets Released from Equipment Acquisition Restriction thus needs to be credited.
