What are some challenges of general long-term liabilities and what are the nuances that make the general long-term liabilities (not just long-term liabilities)?

NuComp Company operates in a state where corporate taxes and workers’ compensation insurance rates have recently doubled. NuComp’s president has just assigned you the task of preparing an economic analysis and making a recommendation relative to moving the entire operation to Missouri. The president is slightly in favor of such a move because Missouri is his boyhood home and he also owns a fishing lodge there.
You have just completed building your dream house, moved in, and sodded the lawn. Your children are all doing well in school and sports and, along with your spouse, want no part of a move to Missouri. If the company does move, so will you because the town is a one-industry community and you and your spouse will have to move to have employment. Moving when everyone else does will cause you to take a big loss on the sale of your house. The same hardships will be suffered by your coworkers, and the town will be devastated.
In compiling the costs of moving versus not moving, you have latitude in the assumptions you make, the estimates you compute, and the discount rates and time periods you project. You are in a position to influence the decision singlehandedly.
Identify 2 stakeholders and 2 ethical issues in this situation. How would you go about responding?

Please describe how you have prepared for your intended major, including your readiness to succeed in your upper-division courses once you enroll at the university.

Lion’s Lager Case Study
Part D: Differential Analysis and Investment Evaluation
Case Facts
Expanding Event Services
Following the successful launch of Lion’s Lager’s limited-edition seasonal beer, “Autumn
Amber,” the company is exploring the expansion of its event services to enhance profitability.
Currently, Lion’s Lager provides public brewery tours and tastings, but management believes
there is significant potential in expanding these services to include private events, such as
corporate gatherings and birthday parties. All private events would also include catering.
Management is keen to assess two options for this expansion. Costs required for each option are
provided below:
Table I: Expanding Event Services Options
Description Public Tours and Tasting Private Event Hosting
Staff members 2 6
Hours per staff member 2 hours 4 hours
Event staff wage rate $15 per hour $20 per hour
Catering cost $0 $30 per guest
Monthly fixed expenses $800 $2,500
Based on customer surveys, management anticipates hosting 4 private events each month, with
an average of 30 guests per event. All events are a flat fee of $3,000, limited to 60 guests. If the
company invests in additional public tours instead, it anticipates an additional 25 tours each
month, with an average of 14 guests on each tour. Tours are offered at $15 per guest.
From a marketing standpoint, Lion’s Lager has invested heavily in marketing to the local college
students. The company’s goal is to build their brand and reputation among the college
demographic, and to become the primary local attraction to college students.
Investment Evaluation
Lion’s Lager is also considering two key pieces of equipment necessary for improving the
brewery process: a Bottling Line and a Filtration System. The estimated investment and returns
of each piece of equipment are summarized in Table II:
Table II: Equipment Investment
Description Bottling Line Filtration System
Initial investment $150,000 $100,000
Expected annual revenue increase $50,000 $35,000
Annual operating costs $20,000 $10,000
The bottling line will enhance the overall presentation and packaging quality of the product,
improving brand recognition and perception among customers. It also will improve production
rates, which is crucial for efficiently launching seasonal flavors. On the other hand, the filtration
system will enhance the flavor profile and help ensure compliance with industry standards and
regulations.
Instructions
Your cost management team is tasked with conducting the following analysis:
• Differential analysis comparing the expanded public tours and tastings and private events
• Investment evaluation of the bottling line and filtration system equipment
For both analyses, please make a recommendation to management based on both the quantitative
and qualitative analysis of each decision.
Please ensure all calculations are performed in Excel, and all findings, analysis, and
recommendations are professionally summarized in a corresponding report. Please adhere to
generally accepted professional business writing parameters.
You are permitted to utilize AI resources for the completion of this case study, but that process
(prompts and the responses) must be well documented and submitted with your report
deliverables. Your group is not permitted to collaborate or share findings among other groups.
Doing so is academically dishonest, and will result in a 0% on the assignment for all students
involved. You are permitted and encouraged to seek assistance from your instructor.

Assume you are a manager working for a manufacturer of consumer product goods. Using the attached RFID reader and tag data, arrive at answers to the following questions:
On what days did a given pallet with EPC 48 3 5 0614141 000734 347900 move from one location to another? What are the chronological movements of the pallet?
(A) What is the average time taken between producing a pallet at our facilities and the pallet reaching a retail store? (B) What is the average time taken between producing a pallet at our facilities and the pallet reaching a retail store for each of the following specific product categories: Pallet of Diapers, Pallet of Soaps, Pallet of Detergents, Pallet of Probiotics? (C) How do the averages for each product category in part (B) compare to the overall average in part (A)?
What is the average number of days that a pallet is spending in the distributor’s warehouse? Hint: On a sheet named “Question 3,” create two separate pivot tables with EPC Read and Tag Read Date and Time. For both pivot tables, filter by “Type of Interaction”. For the first pivot table, filter by “Pallet loaded on a shipping truck” and select MAX of Tag Read Date and Time. For the second pivot table, filter by “Pallet stored in the warehouse” and select MIN of Tag Read Date and Time. Now subtract the MIN time (second pivot table) from the MAX time in the first pivot table to obtain the total days a pallet is spending in the warehouse. Now take the average of these days.
What is the average number of days that shipping trucks are taking to deliver a pallet from the manufacturing facility to the distributor’s warehouse? Hint: On a sheet named “Question 4,” create two separate pivot tables with EPC Read and Tag Read Date and Time. For both pivot tables, filter by “Type of Interaction”. For the first pivot table, filter by “Pallet loaded on a shipping truck” and select MIN of Tag Read Date and Time. For the second pivot table, filter by “Pallet stored in the warehouse” and select MIN of Tag Read Date and Time. Now subtract the two MIN times in the two pivot tables to obtain the total days it takes shipping trucks to deliver product form manufacturing facility to the warehouse. Now take the average of these days.
What is the average number of days that shipping trucks are taking to deliver a pallet from the distributor’s warehouse to the retail store? Hint: On a sheet named “Question 5,” create two separate pivot tables with EPC Read and Tag Read Date and Time. For both pivot tables, filter by “Type of Interaction”. For the first pivot table, filter by “Pallet loaded on a shipping truck” and select MAX of Tag Read Date and Time. For the second pivot table, filter by “Pallet delivered to and stored in the retail store” and select MIN of Tag Read Date and Time. Now subtract the two times in the two pivot tables to obtain the total days it takes shipping trucks to deliver product form warehouse to the retail store. Now take the average of these days.
Are some types of pallets (types of products) getting delivered quicker to the retail stores from the distributor’s warehouses? HINT: Copy the worksheet in Question 5 as a new worksheet. Add Product name to the pivot tables. Group the the times by product names and take average of times for each product name.
What is the average number of days that a pallet is spending in our manufacturing facilities before it is picked up by a shipping truck? Hint: On a sheet named “Question 7”, create two separate pivot tables with EPC Read and Tag Read Date and Time. For both pivot tables, filter by “Type of Interaction”. For the first pivot table, filter by “Pallet stored in the storage area” and select MAX of Tag Read Date and Time. For the second pivot table, filter by “Pallet loaded on a shipping truck” and select MIN of Tag Read Date and Time. Now subtract the two times in the two pivot tables to obtain the total days product is spending in the manufacturing facility. Now take the average of these days.
What is the average number of days that a pallet is spending in transit between locations? Hint: Add the answers for average time you computed in Question 4 and Question 5.
Between 1/3/2019 and 1/9/2019 (both inclusive), which pallets have recorded activities and what are these activities by pallet?
