Explanation:
In my opinion, the use of focal point reviews is more advantageous for an organization than the anniversary model for employee performance evaluations, since in the anniversary evaluation there is an annual performance evaluation, carried out on the employee's hiring date or at the end of the year, this model may be more complex due to the difficulty of organizing the evaluation of all employees, since there are different dates for hiring employees, which can mean a problem with the agenda that interferes with the evaluation.
Focal point reviews, on the other hand, are more advantageous because they can be carried out whenever there is an identification of reduced performance of employees, and allow managers to carry out integrated performance evaluations, which gives the advantage of eliminating some type of bias that compromises the fairness of the assessment. In the focal point reviews, there is an employee evaluation based on comparisons between employee performance, which ensures greater efficiency in evaluating and developing actions to improve employee performance.
Corporation A has the following returns for the past three years: 7 percent, 13 percent, and 10 percent. Assume each year return had the same probability (weights of 1/3 each). Calculate the expected return
Answer:
10.00%
Explanation:
The expected return is the weighted average of all the returns recorded thus far wherein the probability of each return occurring is used as the weight of each return as shown below:
Expected return=sum of (weight* value of return)
Expected return=(7%*1/3)+(13%*1/3)+(10%*1/3)
Expected return=0.023333333 +0.043333333 +0.033333333
Expected return=10.00%

Between January 2010 and January 2016, U.S. employment increased by 12.1 million workers, but the number of unemployed workers declined by only 7.3 million. True or False: The labor force has remained unchanged.
Answer:
False, the labor forced increased
Explanation:
labor force = total number of people actively working (employed) or searching for jobs (unemployed)
lets say L = the total labor force in 2010
by 2016, L had increased by 12.1 million and decreased by 7.3 million
net change of L = 12.1 - 7.3 = 4.8 more million people were part of the labor force in 2016 than in 2010.

The following U.S. Treasury bond is listed in the The Wall Street Journal: Rate Mo/Yr Bid Asked 9.50 Oct 38 135:30 136:04 This $1,000 par value bond has 18 years to maturity and makes semi-annual coupon interest payments. If you purchased this bond, what would be the bond's yield to maturity
Answer:
6.35%
Explanation:
If you purchase this bond you will need to pay $1,000 x 136.04% = $1,360.40
the coupon rate is 9.5% / 2 = 4.75% or $47.50 every six months
the bond matures in 18 years or 36 semiannual periods
yield to maturity = {coupon + [(face value - market value)/n]} / [(face value + market value)/2]
YTM = {47.5 + [(1,000 - 1,360.4)/36]} / [(1,000 + 1,360.4)/2]
YTM = 37.49 / 1,180.2 = 0.031766 x 2 (annual yield) = 0.06353 = 6.35%
A company, which is currently operating at full capacity, has sales of $2,480, current assets of $820, current liabilities of $510, net fixed assets of $1,670, and a 5 percent profit margin. The company has no long-term debt and does not plan on acquiring any. The company does not pay any dividends. Sales are expected to increase by 10 percent next year. If all assets, short-term liabilities, and costs vary directly with sales, how much additional equity financing is required for next year
Answer:
$61.60
Explanation:
Equity funding need = Projected assets - Projected liabilities - Current equity - Projected increase in retained earnings
Equity funding need = $2,739 - $561 - $1,980 - $136.40
Equity funding need = $61.60
Workings
Projected assets = (Current assets + Fixed assets) * 1.10 = 820+1,670 * 1.10 = $2,739
Projected liabilities = Current liabilities * 1.10 = 510 * 1.10 = $561
Current equity = Current assets + Fixed assets - Current liabilities = 820 + 1,670 - 510 = $1,980
Projected increase in retained earnings = Sales*5% * 1.10 = $2,480*5% * 1.10 = 124*1.10 = $136.40
Old Time Savings Bank pays 3% interest on its savings accounts. If you deposit $3,000 in the bank and leave it there: (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) a. How much interest will you earn in the first year?
Answer:
Interest= $90
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Initial investment= $3,000
i= 3%
Number of periods= 1
First, we need to calculate the future value, using the following formula:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
FV= 3,000*1.03= $3,090
Now, the interest earned:
Interest= 3,090 - 3,000
Interest= $90

Answer:
$12
Explanation:
Moore Company purchased an item for inventory that cost $20 per unit and was priced to sell at $34. It was determined that the cost to sell is $22 per unit. Using the lower of cost or net realizable value rule, what amount should be?
Cost per Unit = $20
Sale per unit = $34
Disposal cost = $22
Net realizable value per unit = Sale per unit - Disposal cost
Net realizable value per unit = $34 - $22
Net realizable value per unit = $12
Using the LCM method, $12 should be reported on the balance sheet for inventory.
Select all that apply What is the difference between an adjusted trial balance and an unadjusted trial balance? (Check all that apply.) Multiple select question. The adjusted trial balance is a list of accounts and their balances after adjusting entries have been posted. The unadjusted trial balance is more up to date and should be used to prepare financial statements. The adjusted trial balance is used to prepare financial statements. The adjusted trial balance generally has more accounts listed than the unadjusted trial balance.
Answer:
The adjusted trial balance is a list of accounts and their balances after adjusting entries have been posted.The adjusted trial balance is used to prepare financial statements. The adjusted trial balance generally has more accounts listed than the unadjusted trial balance.Explanation:
The Adjusted Trial balance lists the accounts that the company has at their ending balances which means that adjusting entries have been posted.
As a result of the Adjusted Trial Balance having final account balances, it is used to prepare the financial statements for the company as only final balances should be used in such.
More often than not, the Adjusted trial balance will have more accounts than the unadjusted balance because in process of adjustment, more accounts may be created for transactions that were not posted properly. For instance, there might be liability accounts for expenses if the expenses were not paid in the current period.
Prepare adjusting entries for the following transactions. (Credit account titles are automatically indented when the amount is entered. Do not indent manually.)

Bond Ratings. Companies pay rating agencies such as Moody’s and S&P to rate their bonds, and the costs can be substantial. However, companies are not required to have their bonds rated in the first place; doing so is strictly voluntary. Why so you think they do so?
Answer:
Bond Ratings
Companies employ rating agencies such as Moody's and S&P to rate their bonds despite the substantial costs and their voluntariness because ratings by these agencies add a badge of honor to the bonds. It gives investors some level of assurance that the bonds will be honored at maturity and that the pricing is right, given the company's credit risk.
Explanation:
Credit risk rating agencies assess the credit risk of a company or financial product as formal and credit-worthy benchmarks for investment decisions. While companies pay huge costs to have these ratings conducted by the big three, including Moody's, S&P, and Fitch, the main value goes to the potential investors who require the information to decide whether to invest in the rated companies.

Your classmates from the University of Chicago are planning to go to Miami for spring break, and you are undecided about whether you should go with them. The round-trip airfare is $600, but you have a frequent-flyer coupon worth $500 that you could use to pay part of the airfare. All other costs for the vacation are exactly $900. The most you would be willing to pay for the trip is $1,400. Your only alternative use for your frequent-flyer coupon is for your trip to Atlanta two weeks after the break to attend your sister's graduation, which your parents are forcing you to attend. The Chicago-Atlanta round-trip airfare is $450. If the Chicago-Atlanta round-trip air fare were $350, should you use the coupon to go to Miami?
Answer:
You should use the discount coupon to pay for the Chicago-Miami trip. Not considering the personal motivations for the trip, the coupon is worth $500. The cost of flying is $600, so you will only pay $100 yourself. You will be spending $900 + $1000 = $1,000 in total.
The opportunity cost of using the coupon is $350 (the cost of the round trip to Atlanta). Even if you add the $350 to the $1,000 expense, the total is $1,350, less than your $1,400 maximum budget.
When a mentally challenged candidate is overlooked by a recruiter even though he possesses skills that are perfect for the job, which perceptual distortion is likely to be experienced by the recruiter?
a. Halo effect
b. Selective perception
c. Ability stereotypes
d. Projection
e. Self-fulfilling prophecy
The correct answer is C. Ability stereotypes
Explanation:
Ability stereotypes imply incorrect or inaccurate perceptions about people with different abilities including people with intellectual or cognitive disabilities or mentally challenged people. This often means people consider mentally challenged people unable to perform tasks, understand certain information, among others.
This type of stereotyping occurs in the situation presented because the recruiter is not considering a specific candidate because he/she is mentally challenged. However, this condition does not imply the candidate does not have the skills or qualities to be in this job. Indeed, this candidate can be more suitable than an individual with regular intellectual abilities.
