On December 31, 2020, Flounder Company signed a $1,278,400 note to Culver Bank. The market interest rate at that time was 10%. The stated interest rate on the note was 8%, payable annually. The note matures in 5 years. Unfortunately, because of lower sales, Flounder’s financial situation worsened. On December 31, 2022, Culver Bank determined that it was probable that the company would pay back only $767,040 of the principal at maturity. However, it was considered likely that interest would continue to be paid, based on the $1,278,400 loan.

Required:
a. Determine the amount of cash Flounder received from the loan on December 31, 2020.
b. Prepare a note amortization schedule for Culver Bank up to December 31, 2022.
c. Determine the loss on impairment that Culver Bank should recognize on December 31, 2022.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

All requirements are solved

Explanation:

An amortization schedule is a complete table of periodic loan payments, showing the amount of principal and the amount of interest that comprise each payment until the loan is paid off at the end of its term. Each periodic payment is the same amount in total for each period.

Requirement A

Amount of cash Flounder received from the loan =(1,278,400 x 0.62092) (102,272 x 3.79079)

Amount of cash Flounder received from the loan = 1,181,476    

   

Requirement B

Date           Cash           Interest         Increase in                 Carrying Amount

               Received Revenue     Carrying Amount         of Note

12/31/20                                                                                      1,181,476

12/31/21    102,272         118,148         15,876                       1,197,352

12/31/22   102,272         119,735         17,463                       1,214,815

Requirement C

Loss due to impairment = 1,214,815 - [(767,040 x 0.75131) (102,272 x 2.48685)]          

Loss due to impairment = 384,195

O’Hara Associates sells golf clubs, and with each sale of a full set of clubs provides complementary club-fitting services. A full set of clubs with the fitting services sells for $1,400. O’Hara estimates that it incurs $50 of staff compensation and other costs to provide the fitting services, and normally earns 20% over cost on similar services. Assuming that the golf clubs and the club-fitting services are separate performance obligations, estimate the stand-alone selling price of the club-fitting services using the expected cost plus margin approach.

Answers

Answer:

$60.00

Explanation:

Calculation to estimate the stand-alone selling price

Hara Amount $ Note

Staff compensation $50.00

Mark up % 20%

Mark up amount $10.00

(20%*$50)

Standalone selling price of club fitting services $60.00

($50.00+$10.00)

Therefore the estimated stand-alone selling price will be $60.00

Because there isn't one single measure of inflation, the government and researchers use a variety of methods to get the most balanced picture of how prices fluctuate in the economy. Two of the most commonly used price indexes are the consumer price index (CPI) and the GDP deflator.

The GDP deflator for this year is calculated by dividing the____________________ using by_____________________________ the using___________ and multiplying by 100. However, the CPI reflects only the prices of all goods and services .

Indicate whether each scenario will affect the GDP deflator or the CPI for the United States.

a. A decrease in the price of a Chinese-made car that is popular among U.S. consumers.
b. An increase in the price of a Waterman Industries deep-water reel, which is a commercial fishing product used for deep-sea fishing, made in the U.S., but not bought by U.S. consumers.

Answers

Answer:

1. The GDP deflator for this year is calculated by dividing the Value of all goods and services produced in the economy this year using  this year's prices by the Value of all goods and services produced in the economy in the base year using the base year's prices and multiplying by 100.

However, the CPI reflects only the prices of all goods and services bought by consumers.

2. a. A decrease in the price of a Chinese-made car that is popular among U.S. consumers. Affects CPI.

This affects CPI because the CPI reflects only the prices of goods and services purchased by customers.

b. An increase in the price of a Waterman Industries deep-water reel, which is a commercial fishing product used for deep-sea fishing, made in the U.S., but not bought by U.S. consumers. Affects GDP Deflator.

This is a good produced in the United States so it will affect the GDP Deflator as that deals with GDP.

Retained earnings         $190,000        $190,000          $189,160

f) Companies A and B will report the highest amount of retained earnings because C's units of production did not tally to 250,000.

Explanation:

Cost of Truck = $76,000

Lifespan = 4 years or 250,000 miles

Salvage value = $6,000

Depreciable amount = $70,000 ($76,000 - $6,000)

Straight-line rate = $17,500 ($70,000/4) or 25% (100/4) per year

Double-declining balance rate = 50% (100/4 * 2) on the book balance

Units of production  rate = $0.28 ($70,000/250,000) per unit

NCI in NA of Tester Co. 95,000

Explanation:

Data:

A is the only correct answer.  With it, the following accounts are debited:

Common Stock 200,000

Retained Earnings 150,000

Income from Tester Co. 40,000

And these accounts are credited:

Dividends declared 10,000

Investment in Tester Co. 285,000

NCI in NA of Tester Co. 95,000

With these, the debit side and the credit side are made to be equal.  Again, debiting and crediting the above accounts eliminate them from the combined or consolidated financial statements since they are reflected on opposite sides of the parent and subsidiary's financial statements.

Pooling has been used for a long time by businesses as a way to reduce risk. Imagine that years ago a small paint factory employed 200 people, each with an annual salary of $600/year. The factory owner knew from experience that 4 percent of workers were being injured each year, becoming unable to work. The factory owner decided to set up a fund to pay injured workers three months of salary to help their families and build good will with employees. The owner did not contribute to the injury fund. The workers themselves contributed a fixed amount each year to fund the plan. Answer the following questions (1 point each):_____.
1. How much did the owner need to collect from employees in total to fully fund the plan each year?
2. How much did each employee have to contribute each year to fully fund the plan?
3. What percentage of salary did each employee contribute to have an injury fund like this?

Answers

Answer:

1. Amount required to fund the plan = % of injured*Total employees* Annual salary

Amount required to fund the plan = 4%*200 people* $600

Amount required to fund the plan = $4800

2. Amount contributed by each employee = Amount required to fund the plan / Number of employees

Amount contributed by each employee = $4800/200

Amount contributed by each employee = $24

3. Percentage of salary = Amount contributed by each employee / Salary

Percentage of salary = 24/600

Percentage of salary =  0.04

Percentage of salary = 4%

Dacosta Corporation had only one job in process on May 1. The job had been charged with $1,800 of direct materials, $6,966 of direct labor, and $9,936 of manufacturing overhead cost. The company assigns an overhead cost to jobs using the predetermined overhead rate of $18.40 per direct labor-hour. During May, the following activity was recorded:
Raw materials (all direct materials):
Beginning balance $8,500
Purchased during the month $38,000
Used in production $39,300
Labor:
Direct labor-hours worked during the month 1,900
Direct labor cost incurred $24,510
Actual manufacturing overhead costs incurred $33,300
Inventories:
Raw materials, May 30
Work in process, May 30 $16,937
Work in process inventory on May 30 contains $3,741 of direct labor cost. Raw materials consist solely of items that are classified as direct materials. The entry to dispose of the underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead cost for the month would include a:________.
a: credit of $5,336 to Manufacturing Overhead.
b: credit of $1,660 to Manufacturing Overhead.
c: debit of $5,336 to Manufacturing Overhead.
d: debit of $1,660 to Manufacturing Overhead.
Accounting entries for adjustment of overhead expenses.
Generally overheads are applied to various jobs on a predetermined basis. But actual overheads incurred can be more than/ less than predetermined overhead costs. To adjust this difference journal entries are made at the end of the period.

Yesterday, Casey received a cable company ad for bundled TV, telephone, and Internet service that cost appreciably more than what she is currently paying. At the same time, she received a notice from her utility company that summer rates would be increasing. Her schoolbooks are costing almost twice what they cost last year, and yesterday, gasoline cost her 30 cents more per gallon than it did last week. As she ponders the situation, she can't help but wonder how prices could be rising when so many people have lost their jobs and are cutting back on expenditures. She is certain that this situation characterizes her economics professor's description of stagflation.

a. True
b. False

Answers

Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

It is true that her situation characterizes what her economics professor's mentioned on stagflation.

She experienced high internet cost more than she is paying, she was also notified on an increase in the utility summer rates, increase in the cost of her schoolbooks, and gasoline all point to what stagflation is.

Stagflation is detected when a nation experiences slow economic growth obvious with an increase in the cost of goods, which means a reduction in purchasing power as Casey experienced. When companies want to still be running their business, they will increase the cost of their services as there are fewer goods available and the currency weakened.

For a program to be successful, readiness for training should be assessed on two dimensions: employee characteristics and work environment. The employee characteristics that are relevant to training are the ability to learn the subject matter, attitudes toward training, and motivation to learn. Even if these are present, however, training will not be effective unless there is a positive work environment—an environment that encourages learning and eliminates obstacles for trainee success.

An important characteristic of employee readiness is having basic learning skills, especially cognitive ability that includes using written and spoken language, solving math problems, and using logic to solve problems. If employees lack certain basic skills, they may have to attend some remedial classes before participating in job-related training. Seeing potential benefits from training programs may increase employee motivation to participate. Readiness for training also depends on work environment characteristics called situational constraints and social support. Constraints can include the limits of training's effectiveness from within the organization, such as lack of money or lack of time for training and practicing. Social support refers to the ways that the organization encourages training by expressing positive attitudes toward its training programs. The goal of this activity is to evaluate employee readiness for training.

a. Social Support
b. Situational Constraints
c. Employee Readiness

Answers

Answer:

1.

by asking new employees to unlearn the theories they have so that they can learn on the job, these experienced employees are getting the new ones ready to start applying concepts. this shows social support from the old employees to the new ones

2.

these complaints by Brooke's employees shows employee readiness because the complaints are basically about not being able to find their way around around the training since they say it is too difficult.

3.

this is situational constraints as the question implies a constraint in funds available to train all employees on the new software. and it is causing an issue In getting all employees trained.

4.

this is situational constraint and time is the constraint. elizabeth though ready does not have the time for the training.

5. this is social support. ed's manager has caused him to reevaluate on this training because in his opinion it would be like a waste of time and effort.

Work in Process, May 1 (54,000 units, 100% complete for direct materials, 35% complete with respect to conversion costs; includes $78,500 of direct material cost; $42,050 of conversion costs).

Units started in May 233,000
Units completed in May 208,000

Work in Process, May 31 (79,000 units, 100% complete for direct materials; 15% complete for conversion costs).

Costs incurred in May

Direct materials $391,440
Conversion costs $401,900

Required:
If Pitt Enterprises uses the FIFO method of process costing, compute the cost per equivalent unit for direct materials and conversion costs respectively for May.

Answers

Answer:

cost per equivalent unit : materials = $1.37  and conversion costs = $1.78.

Explanation:

Please note that we have to use FIFO costing method

Calculation of the Equivalent Units of Production with respect to Materials and Conversion Costs

1. Raw Materials

To finish Beginning Work In Process (54,000 × 0%)                         0

Started and Completed ((233,000 - 54,000) × 100%)                  179,000

Ending Work In Process (79,000 × 100%)                                      79,000

Equivalent Units of Production with respect to Materials           258,000

1. Conversion Cost

To finish Beginning Work In Process (54,000 × 65%)                   35,100

Started and Completed ((233,000 - 54,000) × 100%)                  179,000

Ending Work In Process (79,000 × 15%)                                          11,850

Equivalent Units of Production with respect to Conversion       225,950

Calculation of the cost per equivalent unit for direct materials and conversion costs.

Unit Cost = Current Period Costs ÷ Equivalent units of production

1. Raw Materials

Unit Cost = $391,440 ÷ 258,000

                = $1.37

2. Conversion Cost

Unit Cost = $401,900 ÷ 225,950

                = $1.78

Lipscomb Corporation is estimating its WACC. Its target capital structure is 20 percent debt, 20 percent preferred stock, and 60 percent common equity. Its bonds have a 12 percent coupon, paid semiannually, a current maturity of 20 years, and sell for 1,000 USD. The firm could sell, at par, 100 USD preferred stock which pays a 12 percent annual dividend, but flotation costs of 5 percent would be incurred. Libscomb is a constant-growth firm which just paid a dividend of $2.00, sells for 27.00 USD per share, and has a growth rate of 8 percent. The firm's marginal tax rate is 40.

Required:
a. What is Rollins' cost of common stock using the bond-yield-plus-risk-premium approach?
b. What is Rollins' WACC?

Answers

Answer:

a. 16%

b.  13.566%

Explanation:

The weighted average cost of capital is the rate that a company is expected to pay on average to all its security holders to finance its assets. The WACC is commonly referred to as the firm's cost of capital.

DATA

P is price = 27

G is growth = 8%

Tax rate = 40%

Requirement a.

When the market rate of bond is equal to par value then yield is equal to the coupon rate

Tax rate = 12(1-0.4) = 7.2%

Cost of preferred stock = dividend/price

There will be a 5% floatation cost so net proceeds is 95

Cost of preferred stock = 12/95 = 12.63%

Cost of equity = D1/P + g

Where D1 is dividend for year 1 = 2+8% = 2.16

Cost of equity = 2.16/27 + 0.08

Cost of equity = 16%

Requirement  b

Wacc = 7.2×20% + 12.63×20% + 16×60%

Wacc = 13.566%

Porter theorizes that the four attributes in his diamond model may promote or impede the creation of competitive advantage. Factor endowments are a nation's position in factors of production such as skilled labor or infrastructure necessary to compete in a given industry. Demand conditions are the nature of home demand for the industry's product or service. Related and supporting industries are the presence or absence of supplier industries and related industries that are internationally competitive. Firm strategy, structure, and rivalry are the conditions governing how companies are created, organized, and managed and the nature of domestic rivalry.

Required:
What is the most appropriate attribute of national competive advaritage from Porter's theory?

Answers

Explanation:

The most appropriate attribute of the national competitive advantage of Porter's theory is factor endowments.

This attribute corresponds to the one that can most significantly impact the competitive position that a company will have in the market, as it refers to the conditions that a company will have to develop its essential factors such as labor, technology, capital, etc., these factors being totally influenced by the local economy and its favorable conditions for the flow of business.

For this reason, it is necessary to have government incentives for public and private companies through the development of economic policies that favor the competitiveness of companies and the improvement of their factors, increasing their quality and efficiency.

Kim is trying to decide whether she can afford a loan she needs in order to go to chiropractic school. Right now Kim is living at home and works in a shoe store, earning a gross income of $1,760 per month. Her employer deducts $199 for taxes from her monthly pay. Kim also pays $189 on several credit card debts each month. The loan she needs for chiropractic school will cost an additional $172 per month. Help Kim make her decision by calculating her debt payments-to-income ratio with and without the college loan.

a. Carl’s house payment is $1,640 per month and his car payment is $482 per month. If Carl's take-home pay is $3,250 per month, what percentage does Carl spend on his home and car?
b. Suppose that your monthly net income is $2,850. Your monthly debt payments include your student loan payment and a gas credit card. They total $1,140. What is your debt payments-to-income ratio?

Answers

Answer:

1. Kim:

Debt payments-to-income ratio with the college loan

= 23%

2. Carl:

Percentage spent on home and car

= 65.3%

3. Debt payment to income ratio

= 40%

Explanation:

Kim's Data and Calculations:

Gross income = $1,760

Income taxes         -199

After Tax Income $1,561 per month

Credit card debts = $189 per month

School loan = $172 per month

Total Debt payments = $361

Debt payments-to-income ratio with the college loan

= $361/$1,561 = 23%

Carl:

House payment = $1,640

Car payment = $482

Total payments = $2,122

Take-home pay = $3,250

Percentage spent on home and car = 65.3% ($2,122/$3,250 * 100)

3. My monthly net income = $2,850

Monthly debt payments = $1,140

Debt payment to income ratio

= $1,140/$2,850 * 100

= 0.4

= 40%

h. Ken received $30,000 of interest from corporate bonds and money market accounts.
Determine Ken's gross income

Answers

Answer: $‭46,950‬

Explanation:

a. All sources of income should be included including illegal ones.

b. Gain = 1,000 (32 - 31)

= $1,000

c. Gain = Amount received - Amount paid apportioned per year

=  25,000 - (210,000/20)

= 25,000 - 10,500

= $14,500

d. Not included as disability benefits are not included.

e. The $300 is deductible but the $200 that went towards car payment is not.

f. Taxation principles require that the person taxed should be the person earning the income so Ken will not be charged on the $1,100

g. The relevant figure here is the tax benefit before the $610 refund.

Ken claimed $6,250 in itemized deduction but the standard deduction is $6,200. Ken gained;

= 6,250 - 6,2000

= $50

h. The $30,000 is included as Ken earned it.

Gross Income = 1,200 + 1,000 + 14,500 + 200 + 50 + 30,000

= $‭46,950‬

A small nation of 10 people idolizes the TV show The Voice. All they produce and consume are karaoke machines and CDs, in the following amounts:

Karaoke Machines CDs
Quantity Price(Dollars) Quantity Price (Dollars)
2020 20 50 60 5
2021 21 70 80 6

Using a method similar to that used to calculate the consumer price index, the percentage change in the overall price level is_____________ . (Note: Use 2020 as the base year, and fix the basket at 2 karaoke machines and 6 CDs.) Using a method similar to that used to calculate the GDP deflator, the percentage change of the overall price level is_____________ . (Note: Again, use 2020 as the base year.) Which of the following statements is correct? Check all that apply.

a. The inflation rate in 2021 is not the same using the two methods.
b. The CPI allows the basket of goods and services to change.
c. The GDP deflator holds the basket of goods and services constant.

Answers

Answer:

The inflation rate is different using the two methods as the rate of inflation calculated by the CPI holds basket of goods and services constant while the GDP deflator allows it to change.

Explanation:

i. Value of market basket of the good in 2020 = ($50*2) + ($5*6) = $130  

Value of market basket of the good in 2021 = ($70*2) + ($6*6) = $176

CPI in 2020 = ($130 / $130) * 100 = 100

CPI in 2021 = ($176 / $130) * 100 = 135.38  

Thus, The percentage change in overall price level is = [(135.38 - 100) / 100) * 100 = 35.38%

ii. Nominal GDP in 2020 = ($50 * 20) + ($5 * 60) = $1300

Nominal GDP in 2021 = ($70 * 21) + ($6 * 80) = $1950

Real GDP in 2020 = ($50 * 20) + ($5 * 60) = $1300

Real GDP in 2021 = ($50 * 21) + ($5 * 80) = $1450

GDP deflator in 2020 = (Nominal GDP in 2107 / Nominal GDP in 2107) * 100 = ($1300 / $1300) * 100 = 100

GDP deflator in 2021 = (Nominal GDP in 2108 / Nominal GDP in 2108) * 100 = ($1950 / $1450) * 100 = 134.48

Thus, the percentage change in overall price level is = [(134.48 - 100) / 100) * 100 = 34.48%

Lemon Corporation generated $324,600 of income from ordinary business operations. It also sold several assets during the year. Compute Lemon’s taxable income under each of the following alternative assumptions about the tax consequences of the asset sales.

a. Lemon recognized a $5,500 capital gain and a $7,400 net Section 1231 loss.
b. Lemon recognized a $6,500 capital loss and a $4,700 net Section 1231 gain.
c. Lemon recognized a $2,500 capital gain, a $3,900 capital loss, and a $3,000 net Section 1231 gain.
d.Lemon recognized $4,000 of depreciation recapture, a $2,000 Section 1231 gain, and a $4,200 Section 1231 loss.

Answers

Answer:

a. Lemon’s taxable income = $322,700

b. Lemon’s taxable income = $324,600

c. Lemon’s taxable income = $326,200

d. Lemon’s taxable income = $326,400

Explanation:

Before the questions are answered, the provisions of section 1231 of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rules are quoted as follows:

- If you have a net section 1231 loss, it is an ordinary loss.

- If you have a net section 1231 gain, it is ordinary income up to the amount of your unrecaptured section 1231 losses from previous years. The rest, if any, is a long-term capital gain.

Therefore, net section 1231 loss which is an ordinary loss is deducted from ordinary business operations to obtain taxable income.

Also, we describe the following:

Taxable income can be described as the amount of income that is employed to calculated the amount of tax that is payable to the government by an individual or a company in a particular tax year. It is obtained after making all required additions and allowable deductions.

Capital gain can be described as an increase in the value of a capital asset which is realized when the asset is sold. For tax purposes, capital gain is added to the income from ordinary business operations to obtain taxable income.

Capital loss can be described as a decrease in the value of a capital asset which is recognised when the asset is sold. For tax purposes, capital loss is deducted from the income from ordinary business operations to obtain taxable income.

We therefore proceed as follows:

a. Lemon recognized a $5,500 capital gain and a $7,400 net Section 1231 loss.

From the question, we have the following:

Income from ordinary business operations = $324,600

Capital gain recognised = $5,500

Net Section 1231 loss recognised = $7,400

Based on the explanation provided above, Lemon’s taxable income under this scenario is therefore calculated as follows:

Lemon’s taxable income = Income from ordinary business operations + Capital gain recognised - Net Section 1231 loss recognised = $324,600 + $5,500 - $7,400 = $322,700

b. Lemon recognized a $6,500 capital loss and a $4,700 net Section 1231 gain.

From the question, there is nothing related past five years stated and it is therefore assumed that there is no net section 1231 loss in the past five years.

As result, the total of $4,700 net Section 1231 gain is regarded as a capital gain and it is set-off against the $6,500 capital loss as follows to obtain the non-deductible expense as follows:

Non-deductible expense = $6,500 - $4,700 = $1,800

Since there is nothing deductible again, Lemon’s taxable income under this scenario is therefore equal to the income from ordinary business operations of $324,600. That is,

Lemon’s taxable income = $324,600

c. Lemon recognized a $2,500 capital gain, a $3,900 capital loss, and a $3,000 net Section 1231 gain.

Since no net section 1231 loss in the past five years is indicated here, the $3,000 net Section 1231 gain will be treated as a long-term capital gain.

Based on the provisions of section 1231 of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rules quoted above, non-deductible expense is calculated by deducting the $3,900 capital loss to the extent of the $2,500 capital gain as follows:

Non-deductible expense = $3,900 - $2,500 = $1,400

Since the $3,000 net Section 1231 gain has to be treated as a long-term capital gain, the $1,400 will be deducted from it obtain the net capital gain as follows:

Net capital gain = $3000 - $1400 = $1600

Lemon’s taxable income under this scenario is therefore calculated by adding the $1,600 net capital gain to the $324,600 income from ordinary business operations as follows:

Lemon’s taxable income = $324,600 + $1600 = $326,200

d. Lemon recognized $4,000 of depreciation recapture, a $2,000 Section 1231 gain, and a $4,200 Section 1231 loss.

We have the following:

Section 1231 loss = $4,200

Section 1231 gain = $2,000

Therefore, we have:

Net section 1231 loss = Section 1231 loss - Section 1231 gain = $4,200 - 2,000 = $2,200

This net section 1231 loss of $2,200 is therefore treated as ordinary loss as already stated in the provisions of section 1231 of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rules quoted above and deducted from the $324,600 income from ordinary business operations.

In addition, the depreciation recapture of $4,000 will be treated as ordinary income and it will be added to the $324,600 income from ordinary business operations.

Lemon’s taxable income under this scenario is therefore calculated as follows:

Lemon’s taxable income = Income from ordinary business operations + Depreciation recapture - Net section 1231 loss = $324,600 + $4,000 - $2,200 = $326,400

The lease agreement specified ten annual payments of $90,000 beginning January 1, and each December 31 thereafter through 2029. A 10-year service agreement was scheduled to provide maintenance of the equipment as required for a fee of $5,000 per year. Insurance premiums of $4,000 annually are related to the equipment. Both amounts were to be paid by the lessor and lease payments reflect both expenditures (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)

Right-of-use asset

Answers

Answer:

$574,517

Explanation:

Calculation for the amount that Jasperse will record a right-of-use asset

Annual payments = $90,000

Annual maintenance = $5,000 per year

Rate of interest = 10%

Period, n = 10 years

Right of use asset =(90,000 – 5,000) x PVAD, 10%, 10

Right of use asset= 85,000 ×6.75902

Right of use asset= $574,517

Therefore Right-of-use asset will be $574,517

Triec, Inc., is a small electrical contracting company in Springfield, Ohio, owned by its executives Yeazell, Jones, and Heaton. Employees contacted the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, which began an organizing drive, and 6 of the 11 employees in the bargaining unit signed authorization cards. The company declined to recognize the union, which petitioned the NLRB to schedule an election. The company then granted several new benefits for all workers, including higher wages, paid vacations, and other measures. When the election was held, only 2 of the 11 bargaining unit members voted for the union. Did the company violate the NLRA?

Answers

Answer:

Triec, inc., violated the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) because it directly interfered with the organization of a union within the company.

The NLRA allows private employees to join or form a union, and the company cannot interfere in any of these. E.g. a company cannot fire or punish in any way an employee for joining a union. A company cannot interfere with the creation of a union.

In this case, the company granted the new benefits in order to convince its workers to not form the union.
