Answer:

Many managers describe performance appraisal as the responsibility that they like least. Why is this so?

it might be so because managers may feel that performance appraisal is not as productive as other activities, or because they lack the personal skills, or the motivation, to engage in that activity.

What could be done to improve the situation?

Managers should be taught that performance appraisal can be a very effective and productive method for the firm. When workers are praised for their work (when they deserve it), they are likely to be happier in the workplace, and it has been shown by countless studies that happier workers are also more productive.

Answer:

C. Recording an item that should be recorded as an operating activity as an investing activity.

Explanation:

Hope it helped

Answer:

The answer is 7.35 percent

Explanation:

N(Number of periods) = 11years

I/Y(Yield to maturity) = 7.6 percent

PV(present value or market price) = $982

PMT( coupon payment) = ?

FV( Future value or par value) = $1,000.

We are using a Financial calculator for this.

N= 11; I/Y = 7.6; PV = -$982; FV= $1,000; CPT PV= $73.52

Therefore, coupon rate is ($73.52/$1,000) x 100 percent

=7.35 percent

Answer:

Dividend = $2.34

Explanation:

Purchase Price = $55.20

Loss on stock = 18.63% of $55.20 = $10.28

Capital Loss = $12.62

Dividend = Capital Loss - Total Loss

Dividend = $12.62 - $10.28

Dividend = $2.34

Answer:

demand for pesos would fall and supply would rise. their value would decrease as a result

Explanation:

Inflation is a persistent rise in general price level.

When there is high inflation in a country, the demand for the currency would fall because the value of the currency is low. this fall in demand coupled with the excess supply of the currency would lead to a fall in the value of the currency.

Answer and Explanation:

1. At 0fficial exchange rate:

100 * 0.5 = $50

what I want to buy would be purchased at $50

at market exchange rate:

0.25 x 100 = $25

products bought from this place are not a good deal as I am paying more than the market exchange rate.

2. at equilibrium exchange rate:

100 x 0.25% = $25

the price is $25

3. from answers 1 and 2, I will not want demand Stan's rupees. the products are costly to get.

4. Stan's currency is obviously overvalued. the people from this country now has increased purchasing power so they can purchase goods in dollars, therefore they would be supplying their currency.

5. They will have to buy up the surplus of rupees so that they can easily keep up with maintaining the rupee at half a dollar.

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the net present value is presented in the attachment below:

For project A, the net present value is $91,771.53 and for project B, the net present value is $79,390.69

It is computed after considering the discounting factor that comes from

= 1 ÷ (1 + discount rate)^number of years

for year 1, it is

= 1 ÷ (1 + 0.06)^1

The same applied for the remaining years

Answer:

Total cost= $225.9

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Your supervisor instructs you to purchase 480 pens and 6 staplers for the workplace.

Pens are purchased in sets of 6 for $2.45.

Staplers are sold in sets of 2 for $14.95.

First, we need to calculate the number of "packs" to buy:

Pens= 480/6= 80

Staplers= 6/2= 3

Total cost= 80*2.45 + 2*14.95= $225.9

Answer:

The required rate of return is r = 0.1475 or 14.75%

Explanation:

The required rate of return is the minimum return that investors demand/expect on a stock based on the systematic risk of the stock as given by the beta. The expected or required rate of return on a stock can be calculated using the CAPM equation.

The equation is,

r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)

Where,

r = 0.06 + 1.25 * (0.13 - 0.06)

r = 0.1475 or 14.75%

Answer:

Net income available to common stockholders is $1,075,000

Explanation:

Net Income                            $1,250,000

To Preferred Shareholders   $175,000    

Net income available to       $1,075,000

common stockholders

Basic earnings per share = Net income available to common stockholders / weighted average shares of common stock

Basic earnings per share = $1,075,000 / 380,000

Basic earnings per share = $2.8290 per share.

Answer:

The answer is $18.29

Explanation:

We have many formulas to arriving at the stock price but here we use Gordon growth model.

Formula for getting stock price is:

D1/r - g

Where:

D1 - is the next year dividend or expected dividend to be paid next.

r is the rate of return

g is the growth rate

$0.75/0.105 - 0.064

$0.75/0.041

$18.29.

Therefore, the stock's current price is $18.29

Complete Question:

Ford Motor Company is discussing new ways to recapitalize the firm and raise additional capital. Its current capital structure has a 10% weight in equity, 25% in preferred stock, and 65% in debt. The cost of equity capital is 17%, the cost of preferred stock is 11%, and the pretax cost of debt is 9%. What is the weighted average cost of capital for Ford if its marginal tax rate is 40%?

Answer:

7.96%

Explanation:

We can calculate WACC using the formula:

WACC = Cost of equity * Equity %age / 100%         +          

After Tax Cost of Debt * Debt %age / 100%            +        

Cost of Preferred Stock * Preferred Stock %age / 100%

Here,

Cost of equity is 17%

Cost of preferred stock is 11%

Post tax cost of debt = Pre-Tax cost *  (1 - Tax rate)

This implies,

Post tax cost of debt = 9% * (1 - 40%) =  5.4%

Equity weight is 10% weight in equity

Preferred stock weight is 25%

Debt Weight is 65%

By putting value in the formula given in the attachment, we have:

WACC = 17% * (10% / 100%)      +     11% * (25% / 100%)    +    5.4% * (65% / 100%)

WACC = 1.7%   +   2.75%   +    3.51%

WACC = 7.96%

Answer:

4i8484884858585848484i

Answer:

The Company should undertake project A.

Explanation:

The finance of projects is usually done through pooling of funds, that is using various sources of finance. The WACC represents the return required by providers of this finance and also shows the risk of the company.

A company will always accept projects that provide a return higher that their weighted average cost of capital (risk) and reject any project offering a return below the WACC.

Conclusion :

The Company should undertake project A as this gives a return higher than the WACC of 8.5%.

Answer:

the bond's real return for the year is 6.18 %.

Explanation:

First find the nominal return of the bond then the real return as follows :

PV = - $946.02

Pmt = $1,000 × 5.10% = $51

P/yr = 1

FV = $979.58

n = 1

r = ?

Using a Financial Calculator, the nominal return of the bond, r is 8.9385 %.

Real Return = ( 1 + nominal return) / (1 + inflation rate) -1

                   =  (1 + 0.089395) / (1 + 0.026) - 1

                   = 0.0618 or 6.18 %

Answer:

The ending inventory by using the gross method is $243,011

Explanation:

Purchases = Net purchases + Freight inwards

Purchases = 491,111 + 8,900

Purchases = 500,011

When Net purchase = Gross Purchase - Purchase return - Discount

Net purchase = 510,000 - 3,700- 15,189

Net purchase = 491,111

Working

Discount = (Purchases - Purchase return) × Discount rate

Discount = (510,000 - 3,700) * 3%

Discount = 15,189

Ending inventory = Beginning inventory + Purchases− Cost of good sold

Ending inventory = (105,000 + 500,011) - 362,000

Ending inventory = $243,011

Thus, the ending inventory by using the gross method is $243,011.

Answer: c.Reject the investment if it returns less than 15% ROI.

Explanation:

Additional investments should yield incremental returns if they are to be accepted. In the previous year, Division A had an Return on Investment of 15%, when an additional investment is being considered, it must bring in more than that 15% if it is to be accepted.

Therefore, if an investment is to give a less than 15% ROI, it should be rejected as it is not bringing additional returns for the Division.

Question Completion:

Requirement. Identity two types of short-term finance Akram could use when the farm income is low

Answer:

Akram's Farm

Akram's farm can make good use of the following short-term financing sources:

1. Akram's farm can use Accounts Payable to provide short-term trade finance when the farm buys farm inputs, equipment, and other supplies on credit.  The farm's Accounts Payable can provide interest-free trade loans by allowing the farm to take longer time to settle the suppliers.  But, the farm should not miss out on cash discounts - an important source of trade finance.

2. Akram's farm can generate finances by ensuring early collections of the  Accounts Receivable.  Akram's farm can also go ahead and borrow on the accounts receivable through short-term bank loans guaranteed on the accounts.  The farm can also factor the accounts receivable by selling them to factoring and finance houses for less.

Explanation:

Akram's farm is still a small farm that is not yet formed as a company.  The immediate concentration is growing the entity and starting the processes for changing its corporate status so that it can take advantage of the sources of finance available to companies.

Answer:

The correct answer is:

people who do not pay can be easily prevented from using the good. (d)

Explanation:

Excludable goods or services are those to which the consumer cannot have access unless payment of some form is made. By contrast, a non-excludable good or service is one to which the consumer cannot be prevented from using even without payment. Excludable goods can be further divided into rivalrous and non-rivalrous.

A rivalrous excludable good or service is one in which usage by a consumer or usage by one party prevents or reduces significantly, its use by another consumer or party examples are goods such as clothes, food, cars etc, while non-rivalrous excludable goods/services include tv subscriptions, cinemas, etc.

5. The ending inventory would be lower if the ending inventory was valued using the Last-in, First-out (LIFO) method.  The purchase price was increasing instead.  Using LIFO means that ending inventory would be valued at the cost of the purchases in earlier months because of the assumption with LIFO that goods sold are from the last purchases instead of the earlier purchases.

Explanation:

Answer:

$10,000

Explanation:

A customer buys 1,000 shares of XYZ

The shares are bought at $60 in a margin account

Two days after the price of XYZ drops to $40

The first step is to calculate the current market value

= 1,000 shares×$40

= $40,000

Therefore, the minimum maintenance margin requirement can be calculated as follows

= 25/100 × current market value

= 25/100 × 40,000

= 0.25×40,000

= $10,000

Hence the minimum maintenance margin requirement is $10,000

Answer:

The Federal Reserve has been at times biased in favor of the financial industry, because they have often put inflation targeting above the need to reduce unemployment when executing monetary policy. Besides, the financial industry has often been rescued by massive loans from the Fed.

However, the Federal Reserve has also acted in favor of reducing unemployment, specially during recessions, by expanding the money supply through a policy known as quantitative easing.

In conclusion, we can say that the Fed tends to be biased in favor of the financial industry, but not at all times.

Explanation:

We start by calculating the net change of the treasury bond position.

= $95,125 - $95,000

= $125

The long treasury bond position gains $125 after a month.

We will also calculate the net change of the treasury bond futures contract.

= $94,125 - $95,187.50

= -$1,062.50

Therefore, Net profits is;

= $125 - $1,062.50

= -$937.50

Answer: Add social value and entertainment to consumers' lives

Explanation:

In this age of technology, companies have found that being able to offer their customers relevant products can be greatly helped by gathering information about them and offering it to them directly on their phones. A great way to do so is through the use of mobile apps.

With mobile apps a company can track behavior on the device as well as track mobile activity. They could even use the GPS capabilities of the phone through the app to offer relevant location based content.

However, as much as companies would like their customers to have enjoyable lives, this is not an aim with mobile apps. The apps are there to boost the companies sales not to add social value and entertainment to consumers' lives unless of course, that is the company's main business.

Explanation:

Answer:

$32,264.07

Explanation:

The computation of the Break-even EBIT  is shown below:

(EBIT ÷ Number of shares) = (EBIT - Interest) ÷ Number of shares  

(EBIT ÷ 10,900) = (EBIT - $66,000 × 0.08) ÷ (10,900 - (66,000 ÷ $37))

(EBIT ÷ 10,900) = (EBIT - $5,280) ÷ (10,900 - 1,783.78)

(EBIT ÷ 10,900) = (EBIT - $5,280) ÷ (9116.22)

After solving this, the value of break-even EBIT is $32,264.07
