Financial Analysis * The tax rate is approximately 30% 5.618.8=29.79% 5.418.1=29.83% 5.418=30% * Based on the industry average, a sports store of similar size should be making around $21000 or 67% more profitable than Rhodes’ store. * Assuming the lots are of the same size and bear the same tax burden, if the unused lot is sold off property taxes would be reduced by $6000 at the 2008 rate.

High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) was introduced back in the 1970’s and quickly filled the demand within the soft drink industry. Sodas depended heavily on the sugar cane as a natural sweetener; unfortunately it was unstable and volatile. HFCS provided consistency and was easily accessible when it was introduced and financially made more sense when compared to the unsteady cost of sugar.

The current ratio is a measurement of the firm’s liquidity, and ability to cover its obligation. Starbucks currently holds enough current assets and is capable of paying its bills as they become due.

HFCS became an attractive substitute and is preferred over cane sugar by the vast majority of American food and beverage manufacturers. Soft drink makers such as Coca-Cola and Pepsi use sugar in other nations but switched to HFCS in the U.S. in 1984. Large corporations, such as Archer Daniels Midland, lobby for the continuation of government corn subsidies. Nothing is ever absolute, and everything has chance to be good or bad. HFCS could help soda companies rich so the employees may have better salary, or HFCS could make us sick, cause physical disorders if we have too much of it.

There would have been no issues of relocation for financial purposes if the “unfriendly merger” between Pillsbury (owner of Green Giant) and Grand Metropolitan Company had not taken place. The following facts created the issue: the merger between Pillsbury(Green Giant) and Grand Metropolitan Company; and the necessity of increasing profits at the division to help pay off debt arising from the unfriendly merger.
