In 2012, the Campbell Soup Company acquired Bolthouse Farms for $1.55
billion. This acquisition increased the level of vertical integration in Campbell,
as Bolthouse Farms owned and operated extensive farming operations where
it produced many food items used in Campbell's products.
Suppose that the value of produce provided by these farms after the
acquisition would be $95 million per year for Campbell and that, in addition,
Campbell could save $10 million per year in costs it would otherwise spend in
searching for and negotiating over equivalent produce. However, the
transaction cost of the acquisition (lawyers' fees, re-locating some production
facilities, paying severance to unnecessary employees, etc.) required a
one-time payment of $50 million.
Assume that Campbell receives the produce related benefits in perpetuity. If
the interest rate used to discount future earnings is 5%, what is the present
value of net benefits to Campbell?
The present value (PV) of net benefits to Campbell…
The ink-jet printing division of Environmental Printing has grown tremendously in recent years. Assume the following transactions related to the ink-jet division occur during the year ended December 31, 2021.
Environmental Printing is being sued for $9 million by Addamax. Plaintiff alleges that the defendants formed an unlawful joint venture and drove it out of business. The case is expected to go to trial later this year. The likelihood of payment is reasonably possible.
Environmental Printing is the plaintiff in an $7 million lawsuit filed against a competitor in the high-end color-printer market. Environmental Printing expects to win the case and be awarded between $4.5 and $7 million.
Environmental Printing recently became aware of a design flaw in one of its ink-jet printers. A product recall appears probable. Such an action would likely cost the company between $300,000 and $700,000.
Record any amounts as a result of each of these contingencies. (If no entry is…

Be specific. The management of the Esquire Oil Company believes that the wholesale price of heating oil that they sell to homeowners will increase again as the result of increased political problems in the Middle East. The company is currently paying $0.80 per gallon. If they are willing to enter an agreement in November 2021 to purchase a million gallons of heating oil during the winter of 2022, their supplier will guarantee the price at $0.80 per gallon. However, if the winter is a mild one, Esquire would not be able to sell a million gallons unless they reduced their retail price and thereby increase the risk of a loss for the year. On the other hand, if the wholesale price did increase substantially, they would be in a favorable position with respect to their competitors. The company’s fiscal year-end is December 31.

- A large corporate farming operation is holding an inventory of corn and wheat and is concerned that excess harvests this season will lower the value of the commodities. In order to hedge against adverse market changes, the corporation acquired the following contracts on June 1:^ 30 contracts to sell 5,000 bushels of corn in December at a future price of $3.56 per bushel.^ 30 contracts to sell 5,000 bushels of wheat in December at a future price of $6.35 per bushel.Spot and future prices are as follows: Corn—Dollars per Bushel Wheat—Dollars per Bushel Spot Price Future Price Spot Price Future Price June 1 June 30 July 31 $3.42 3.41 3.43 $3.56 3.53 3.54 $6.20 6.19 6.175 $6.35 6.33 6.32 For each of the fair value hedges, determine, by month, the change in the value of the respective inventories and the gain or loss on the futures contracts.arrow_forwardSnackums, Incorporated, purchases wheat for use in its food manufacturing process. Snackums operates in a highly competitive industry and is rarely able to increase its sales price. • On January 1, 2024, Snackums estimates that it only has enough wheat inventory to meet its manufacturing needs for the first half of 2024, and forecasts the purchase of 20,000 bushels of wheat on June 30, 2024, from its supplier, Trigo Farms. ⚫ Because Snackums is concerned that the price of wheat will increase during the coming months it enters into four June wheat futures contracts on January 1, 2024, to purchase wheat. • Each futures contract is based on the purchase of 5,000 bushels of wheat at $6.73 per bushel on June 30, 2024, and will settle in cash at maturity.
