Summary: With 250,000 employees in 19 countries, Aramark wanted to motivate its employees who clean airplanes for Delta and Southwest Airlines. Turnover of the low-paid, largely immigrant staff was high while morale was low. Wallets and other valuables left on planes disappeared. After 5 years of efforts to increase motivation, revenue rose from $5 million to $14 million. 1. What motivation theories apply to the workers at Aramark? 2. If you were the manager of these employees, what would you do to motivate them? Be honest regarding your personal management style and beliefs rather than trying to be like Roy Pelaez. 3. What are some possible barriers to the effectiveness of your motivation ideas? What could you do to overcome them?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

(A)

What motivation theory applies to the workers at Aramark?

The workers should be motivated with payments for the return of valuables forgotten in the aircraft.

(B)

To motivate them, offer them a salary increase

(C)

Some possible barriers to the effectiveness of these motivation ideas are gluttony (depending on individual worker), a period of stiff or falling profit (which will hinder the smooth running of the new benefit policies), change of management.

(D)

What could you do, to overcome them?

To ensure that workers do not still steal forgotten valuables, place a check or supervision on them.

To ensure the profit level is maintained or increased, make sure the workers do not relent in their duties. Sometimes, more benefits make workers relax more.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts has a debit balance of $441 at the end of the year (before adjustment), and Bad Debt Expense is estimated at 3% of sales. If net credit sales are $903,000, the amount of the adjusting entry to record the estimate of the uncollectible accounts is a.$26,649 b.$27,531 c.$27,090 d.$441

Answers

Answer: $27,090

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that the allowance for doubtful accounts has a debit balance of $441 at the end of the year (before adjustment), and bad debt expense is estimated at 3% of sales and that the net credit sales are $903,000.

The amount of the adjusting entry to record the estimate of the uncollectible accounts will be 3% of $903,000. This will be:

= 3% × $903,000

= 3/100 × $903,000

= 0.03 × $903,000

= $27,090

Demron is in serious negotiations to purchase a welding machine that will enable them to perform their own welding. They currently have their welding outsourced at a cost of $1.50 per weld and a fixed cost of $45,000. Their marketing team feels that they can sustain an annual sales volume sufficient to require 35,000 welds. If a fancy new welding rig costs $13,500 what is the maximum variable cost per weld that Demron should be willing to pay in order to bring this process in-house

Answers

Answer:

Demron

Outsourcing welding or Purchasing a welding machine for in-house welding:

Cost of outsourcing:

Variable cost = $1.50 x 35,000 = $52,500

Fixed cost                                        45,000

Total outsourcing costs               $97,500

Cost of purchasing a welding machine:

Fixed cost =                          $13,500

Maximum Variable costs = $84,000

Total in-house cost =          $97,500

Maximum variable cost per weld

= $84,000/35,000

= $2.40

Explanation:

This problem of outsourcing welding activities of Demron Company or buying the welding machine to enable in-house welding is like a make or buy decision challenge.  The appropriate approach to tackling this challenge is to determine the total costs under each option.  The option that yields the greater outcome is chosen.  However, for Demron's case, a determination of the maximum variable costs that are acceptable for in-house option to be selected is made.  The level required for this determination is the level of costs that makes no difference between outsourcing and in-housing welding.

The profit leverage effect (ratio) is calculated by A. dividing 1.0 by the profit margin. B. dividing pretax earnings by the cost of goods sold. C. dividing sales by the cost of goods sold. D. none of the above

Answers

Answer:

D. none of the above

Explanation:

The profit leverage effect shows that in order to increase net profits, it is better and more efficient to reduce operating expenses rather than increasing total net sales revenue. I.e. a $1 decrease in costs increases operating profits by $1, which is much more than the increase resulting from increasing sales by $1.

Regina recently landed her dream job at a local clothes outlet. Within a few weeks of working in her new employment, however, Regina began to engage in fraud. Regina committed the fraud by doing the following:

When people returned merchandise, Regina would ring up an amount that was greater than the value of the item that was being returned. Regina would then pocket the extra cash and give the customer the amount due. Regina found this method of fraud very effective because people were, in reality, returning something and inventory and register totals wouldn't be out of balance at the end of the day.

Required:
1. What type of fraud is Regina committing?
2. How could her employer detect this kind of fraud?

Fraudulent disbursements are very common and occur when an employee misappropriates company funds by making inappropriate payments, fraudulent. They are also called on-book frauds and can only be traced by putting systems that keep these practices in check. The most likely way to have caught the employee in the above case was to review the card statement and review purchases made and to what amount the refund from the company's card was made

Wesimann Co. issued 12-year bonds a year ago at a coupon rate of 7.8 percent. The bonds make semiannual payments and have a par value of $1,000. If the YTM on these bonds is 6.1 percent, what is the current bond price? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answers

Answer:

Price of bond  =1,143.18

Explanation:

The value of the bond is the present value(PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV).

Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV

The value of bond for Wesimann Co can be worked out as follows:

Step 1  

PV of interest payments

Semi annul interest payment  

= 7.8% × 1000 × 1/2 = 39

Semi-annual yield = 6.1%/2 = 3.05  % per six months

Total period to maturity (in months)

= (2 × 12) = 24 periods (Note it was sold 12  years ago)

PV of interest =  

39  × (1- (1+0.0305)^(-24)/) 0.0305 = 656.94

Step 2  

PV of Redemption Value

= 1,000 × (1.0305)^(-24) = 486.237

Price of bond

=   656.94 +486.23 = 1,143.179

Price of bond  =1,143.18

Consider a mutual fund with $200 million in assets at the start of the year and 10 million shares outstanding. The fund invests in a portfolio of stocks that provides dividend income at the end of the year of $2 million. The stocks included in the fund's portfolio increase in price by 8%, but no securities are sold and there are no capital gains distributions. The fund charges 12b-1 fees of 1%, which are deducted from portfolio assets at year-end. a. What is the fund's net asset value at the start and end of the year?

Answers

Answer:

At start = $20/share

At end = $21.384

Explanation:

DATA

ASSets at the start = $200m

Outstanding shares = 10m

Dividend income at the end = $2m

Gain in price = 8%

12b-1 fees = 1%

A.

Net assets at the start can be calculated by dividing assets at the start by outstanding shares

Net Assets value at start = Assets at start/Outstanding shares

Net Assets value at start = $200m/10m

Net Assets value at start = $20/share

Net Assets value at the end can be calculated by multiplying gain price with 12b-1 fees

Net assets value at the end = Gain Price x (1-12b-1 fees)

Net Assets value at the end = ($20x$1.08) x (1 - 0.01)

Net Assets value at the end = $21.6 x 0.99

Net Assets value at the end = $21.384

Managers are important members of the organization. Within an organization, there are managers at four levels: top, middle, first-line, and team leaders.

a. True
b. False

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is the option B: False.

Explanation:

To begin with, the managers are one of the most important parts of the organization due to the fact that they have the task to plan, organize, direct and control the operations of the company. There are at least three levels in which the managers can go and have their work done, like the management area(high), the department areas(middle) and the operations area(low): However, that will depend on the organization and its size due to that an organization can only have managers at one level.

nterest rates on 2-year Treasury securities are currently 6.0%, while 6-year Treasury securities yield 6.5%. If the pure expectations theory is correct, what does the market believe that 4-year securities will be yielding 2 years from now

Answers

Answer:

The market believes that 4-years from now, the 4-year securities will be 6.75%

Explanation:

We proceed as follows using the pure expectations theory .

The theory states that the future rates are exclusively represented by the forward rate.

Mathematically;

(1 + .065)^6 = (1 + .^206)2 * (1 + x)^4

1.4591 = 1.1236 * (1 + x)^4

Divide both sides by 1.1236

1.2986 = (1 + x)^4

Take both sides to the 1/4 power to get rid of the power of 4

1.0675= 1 + x

x = .0675 or 6.75%

Prepare a contribution margin income statement and a traditional income statement.

Answers

Answer:

Net operating income= 165,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

We need to make a contribution format income statement.

First, we will calculate the total variable cost:

Direct material= 90,000

Direct labor= 130,000

Variable overhead= 45,000

Sales commissions (variable)= 25,000

Total variable cost= 290,000

Contribution margin income statement:

Sales= 60,000*10= 600,000

Total variable cost= (290,000)

Total contribution margin= 310,000

Fixed overhead= (90,000)

Sales salaries (fixed)= (20,000)

Administrative expenses (fixed)= (35,000)

Net operating income= 165,000

A 5-year corporate bond yields 7.0%. A 5-year municipal bond (tax exempt bond) of equal risk yields 5.0%. Assume that the state tax rate is zero. At what federal tax rate are you indifferent between the two bonds?

Answers

Answer:

The tax rate is approximately(rounded to a whole) 29%

Explanation:

The federal tax that would make an investor indifferent between the 5-year corporate bond and the 5-year municipal bond can be derived by equating the return on the former to the taxable return of the latter as below:

5%=7%*(1-t)

where the t is the unknown tax rate

Note that the return on 5-year corporate bond is taxable while the return on the municipal bond is tax-free

5%=7%*(1-t)

5%/7%=1-t

0.7143  =1-t

t=1-0.7143  

t=29%

Answer:

horizon value at year 5 = Div₆ / (Re - g)

Div₆ = ($2.75 x 1.143²) x 1.0372 = $3.726384483Re = 12.4%g = 3.72%

horizon value at year 5 = $3.726384483 / (12.4% - 3.72%) = $42.93

current value P₀ = $2.75/1.124³ + $3.14325/1.124⁴ + $46.52273/1.124⁵ = $1.937 + $1.969 + $25.932 = $29.838 ≈ $29.84

1) dividend yield = 0/$29.84 = 0%

capital gains yield = (P₁ - P₀) / P₀

P₁ = $2.75/1.124 + $3.14325/1.124² + $46.52273/1.124³ = $2.447 + $2.488 + $32.762 = $37.697 ≈ $37.70

capital gains yield = ($37.70 - $29.84) / $29.84 = 26.34%

2) Goodwin has yet to record a profit (positive net income). Is this statement a possible explanation for why the firm hasn't paid a dividend yet?

A. Yes

Since dividends must be paid out from net profits or retained earnings.  

1. Dividend yield is = 26.34%

2. Goodwin has yet to record a profit (positive net income) Yes it is a correct statement.

Calculate Dividend Growth Rate

The horizon value at year 5 is = Div₆ / (Re - g)

Then, Div₆ is = ($2.75 x 1.143²) x 1.0372 = $3.726384483

After that, Re = 12.4%

Then, g = 3.72%

Now, When The horizon value at year 5 is = $3.726384483 / (12.4% - 3.72%) = $42.93

The current value P₀ is = $2.75/1.124³ + $3.14325/1.124⁴ + $46.52273/1.124⁵ is = $1.937 + $1.969 + $25.932 = $29.838 ≈ $29.84

1) dividend yield is = 0/$29.84 = 0%

After that, capital gains yield = (P₁ - P₀) / P₀

Hence, P₁ = $2.75/1.124 + $3.14325/1.124² + $46.52273/1.124³ = $2.447 + $2.488 + $32.762 = $37.697 ≈ $37.70

Therefore, capital gains yield = ($37.70 - $29.84) / $29.84 = 26.34%

2) Goodwin has yet to document a profit (positive net income). So, The correct option is = A. Yes

Since When The dividends must be paid out from net profits or retained earnings.

c. Creating a global marketing plan is a complex task.

Answers

Answer:

c. Creating a global marketing plan is a complex task.

Explanation:

It is correct to say that creating a global marketing plan is a complex task.

There are several barriers that can spell failure if the international company's strategy is poorly planned.

Therefore, the ideal is to research in depth about the new market to which the organization intends to enter.

In addition to legally adapting to local legislation, the company must analyze and plan to generate local interest in its products and services.

This requires market research that seeks to identify your target audience, what are their particularities, preferences, characteristics and needs.

The set of variables in the marketing mix: price, product, place and promotion, should also be adapted to the location where the company is located, the key to success is adaptation and the strategy aligned with the location.
