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 1

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.

Wagner Enterprises and Stone Services both disposed of an old asset. When completing the journal entry, Wagner Enterprises included a debit to Cash, but Stone Services did not. Why would the companies have this difference in the journal entry

Answers

Answer:

Wagner Enterprises and Stone Services

Disposal of old asset:

It could be that Stone Services exchanged its old asset with a new one with a company.  In that situation, the debit goes to New Equipment, while the credit is to the old Equipment.  Another reason could be that Stone Services sold the old asset on account.  In this situation, the debit goes to the Accounts Receivable account, while the old asset is credited accordingly.

Explanation:

When a company disposes of an old asset, it credits the asset account and transfers the amount to the Sale of Asset account.  The same is done for the accumulated depreciation, in reverse.  When cash is realized from the disposal, the Sale of Asset account is credited, while Cash account is debited.  Then, the difference in the Sale of Asset account will be a gain or a loss, depending on the net book value and the cash realized from the sale.

how to solve this problem:If a borrower can afford to make monthly principal and interest payments of $1,000 and the lender will make a 30-year loan at 5-1/2%, or a 20-year loan at 4-1/2%, what is the largest loan (rounded to the nearest $100) this buyer can afford?

Answers

Answer:

30-year loan at 5-1/2% ⇒ MAXIMUM LOAN $176,100

using a loan amortization table, you will pay $5.6786 for every $1,000 that you borrow, so you can borrow up to $1,000 / $5.6786 = 176.1 thousands

principal = $176,100

first payment:

interests = $176,100 x 0.055 x 1/12 = $807.13

repaid principal = $192.87

20-year loan at 4-1/2% ⇒ MAXIMUM LOAN $158,000

using a loan amortization table, you will pay $6.3291 for every $1,000 that you borrow, so you can borrow up to $1,000 / $6.3291 = 158 thousands

principal = $158,000

first payment:

interests = $158,000 x 0.045 x 1/12 = $592.50

repaid principal = $407.50

1. The maximum loan a borrower can take, if he can afford to make a monthly payment of $1,000, including principal and interest, for a 30-year loan at 5.5% interest, is $176,100.

2. The maximum loan a borrower can take, if he can afford to make a monthly payment of $1,000, including principal and interest, for a 20-year loan at 4.5% interest, is $158,100.

Data and Calculations:

a) N (# of periods) 360 months (30 x 12)

I/Y (Interest per year) = 5.5%

PMT (Periodic Payment) = $1,000

FV (Future Value) = $0

Results:

PV = $176,121.76

Sum of all periodic payments = $360,000 ($1,000 x 360)

Total Interest = $183,878.24

b) N (# of periods) = 240 months (20 x 12)

I/Y (Interest per year) = 4.5%

PMT (Periodic Payment) = $1,000

FV (Future Value) = $0

Results:

PV = $158,065.44

Sum of all periodic payments = $240,000 ($1,000 x 240)

Total Interest = $81,934.56

Thus, to solve this problem, input $1,000 as the periodic payment on a financial calculator and then calculate the present value of $1,000 at the interest rate for the given period.

Suppose that on Valentine's Day, the demand for both roses and greeting cards increases by the same percentage amount. However, the price of roses increases by more than the price of greeting cards. Based on this information, you can conclude that the supply of Valentine's card:_______.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is: the supply of the greeting cards is less elastic than the one of the roses.

Explanation:

To begin with, the elasticity show how much the price and the quantity are related by indicating the variation that happens to one of them when the other changes. Therefore that the supply of the greeting cards is less sensitive to price because when the quantity demanded increased the price did not change as much as the roses due to the fact that the sellers were not encourage as much as the sellers of the roses to produce more and therefore to increase the price of the cards. So to sum up, when the price changed the sellers were not encourage to increase the production of the cards as much as the production of the roses because of its elasticity.

Answer:

the supply of the greeting cards is less elastic than the one of the roses.

Dinklage Corp. has 7 million shares of common stock outstanding. The current share price is $68, and the book value per share is $8. The company also has two bond issues outstandingSuppose the most recent dividend was "$3.25" and the dividend growth rate is 5 percent. Assume that the overall cost of debt is the weighted average of that implied by the two outstanding debt issues. Both bonds make semiannual payments. The tax rate is 21 percent. What is the company’s WACC?

Answers

Answer:

WACC = 15.08%

Explanation:

Some information is missing:

"The first bond issue has a face value of $70 million, a coupon rate of 6 percent, and sells for 97 percent of par. The second issue has a face value of $40 million, a coupon rate of 6.5 percent, and sells for 108 percent of par. The first issue matures in 21 years, the second in 6 years."

In order to calculate WACC we must first determine the YTM and market values of the 2 bonds.

bond 1:

market value = $70,000,000 x 0.97 = $67,900,000

YTM = {4,200,000 + [(70,000,000 - 67,900,000)/21]} / [(70,000,000 + 67,900,000)/2] = 4,300,000 / 68,950,000 = 6.24%

bond 2:

market value = $40,000,000 x 1.08 = $43,200,000

YTM = {2,600,000 + [(40,000,000 - 43,200,000)/6]} / [(40,000,000 + 43,200,000)/2] = 2,066,667 / 41,600,000 = 4.97%

weighted average cost of debt:

total value of debt = $67,900,000 + $43,200,000 = $111,100,000

weighted average cost = [($67,900,000/$111,100,000) x 6.24%] + [($43,200,000/$111,100,000) x 4.97%] = 3.814% + 1.933% = 5.75%

cost of equity (Re):

$68 = ($8 x 1.05) / (Re - 5%)

Re - 5% = $8.40 / $68 = 12.35%

Re = 17.35%

outstanding stock's market value = 7,000,000 x $68 = $476,000,000

WACC = [($476,000,000/$587,100,000) x 17.35%] + [($111,100,000/$587,100,000) x 5.75% x 0.79] = 14.07% + 1.01% = 15.08%

The available options are:

A. 5 year call at 102 1/2

B. 5 year put at 100

C. 10 year call at 100

D. 20 year maturity

Answer:

20 year maturity

Explanation:

Given that, the bond has a stated rate of interest of 7%, and at the same time, priced to yield 7.50%, this implies that, the bond is being sold at a discount.

The amount of the discount to which this equates is about $140 (this is depending on the figure).  The dollar price of the bond would be $860 to yield 7.50% to maturity. Based on MSRB rules, it is ideal that, bonds are priced on a worst case basis, meaning in this case where the discount is $140, and it is earned over the longest period of time. This can only occurs if the bonds are held to maturity.

It should be noted that, If the bonds are called earlier, the yield actually improves on the bonds, since the customer earns the discount faster.

Hence, The price of the bond to a customer would be calculated based on the: 20 year maturity.

Loaded-Up Fund charges a 12b-1 fee of 1% and maintains an expense ratio of 0.75%. Economy Fund charges a front-end load of 2%, but has no 12b-1 fee and an expense ratio of 0.25%. Assume the rate of return on both funds’ portfolios (before any fees) is 6% per year. How much will an investment of $1,000 in each fund grow to after:
a. 1 year?
b. 3 years?
c. 10 years?

Answers

Answer:

Loaded - Up Fund

1 Year

The value of the investment can be calculated by the formula;

= Investment*(1-front end load)*(1+r-true expense ratio)^t

Loaded-Up fund has no front end load.

r is the return

True Expense Ratio = Fees + Expense Ratio

= 1% + 0.75%

= 1.75%

= Investment*(1-front end load)*(1+r-true expense ratio)^t

= 1,000 * ( 1 + 6% - 1.75%) ^ 1

= $1,042.50

3 years

=  Investment*(1-front end load)*(1+r-true expense ratio)^t

= 1,000 * ( 1 + 6% - 1.75%) ^ 3

= $1,133.00

10 years

=  Investment*(1-front end load)*(1+r-true expense ratio)^t

= 1,000 * ( 1 + 6% - 1.75%) ^ 10

= $ 1,516.21

Economy Fund.

1 year

The same formula applies and this time because the Economy fund uses a front-load charge of 2% as well as an expense ratio of 0.25%, the formula will be;

=  Investment*(1-front end load)*(1+r-true expense ratio)^t

= 1,000 * (1 - 2%) * ( 1 + 6% - 0.25%) ^ 1

= 1,000 * 98% * ( 1 + 6% - 0.25%) ^ 1

= $1,036.35

3 years

= Investment*(1-front end load)*(1+r-true expense ratio)^t

= 1,000 * (1 - 2%) * ( 1 + 6% - 0.25%) ^ 3

= 1,000 * 98% * ( 1 + 6% - 0.25%) ^ 3

= $1,158.96

10 years

= Investment*(1-front end load)*(1+r-true expense ratio)^t

= 1,000 * (1 - 2%) * ( 1 + 6% - 0.25%) ^ 10

= 1,000 * 98% * ( 1 + 6% - 0.25%) ^ 10

Suppose a firm occasionally faces demand for short-term credit but usually has an excess of short-term capital to finance current assets. Which approach is the firm following? Conservative approach Maturity matching approach Aggressive approach Which usually costs less—short-term or long-term debt? Long-term debt Short-term debt

Answers

Answer: Conservative approach; Short term debt

Explanation:

Conservative approach is used by a company to maintain a level of current assets that is high which invariably leads to higher working capital. This is used by a firm that occasionally faces demand for short-term credit but usually has an excess of short-term capital to finance current assets.

Short term debts typically costs less than the long term debts as it's for a shorter duration.

a friend wants to borrow money from you. He states that he will pay you $3000 every 6 months for 12 years with the first payment exactly 3 years and six months from today. The interest rate is an APR of 5.3 percent with semiannual compounding. What is the value of the payments today?

Answers

Answer:

$45,111.41

Explanation:

For calculation of value of the payments today first we need to find out the value at 3 years which is shown below:-

Value at 3 years = PMT × (1 - (1 ÷ (1 + r^n))) ÷ r

= $3,000 × (1 - (1 ÷ (1.0265 ^24))) ÷ 0.0265

= $52,776.45

Now, The value of the payment today = Value at 3 year ÷ (1 + r^n)

= $52,776.45 ÷ (1.0265^6)

You are given the following information for Watson Power Co. Assume the company’s tax rate is 40 percent.
Debt: 5,000 7.2 percent coupon bonds outstanding, $1,000 par value, 30 years to maturity, selling for 108 percent of par; the bonds make semiannual payments.
Common stock: 440,000 shares outstanding, selling for $62 per share; the beta is 1.05.
Preferred stock: 22,000 shares of 3 percent preferred stock outstanding, currently selling for $82 per share.
Market: 11 percent market risk premium and 5.2 percent risk-free rate.
What is the company's WACC?

Answers

Answer:

14.06%

Explanation:

The computation of the company WACC is shown below:

Particulars  After tax     Market value    Weights   WACC

                                                                                  (cost % × weights)

Common stock  16.75%  $27,280,000      0.79         13.25%

                               (440,000 shares × $62)

Preferred stock   3.66%  $1,804,000        0.05          0.19%

                               (22,000 shares × $82)

Debt                    3.95%    $5,400,000     0.16           0.62%

                  (5,000 shares × $1,000 × 108%)

Total                                 $34,484,000     1

                                             WACC                           14.06%

Working note

Cost of common equity is

= Risk free rate of return + Beta × market risk premium

= 5.2% + 1.05  × 11%

= 5.2% + 11.55%

= 16.75%

Cost of preferred stock is

= Annual dividend ÷ Market price per share

= 0.03 ÷ $82

= 3.65%

And, the cost of debt is calculated by using the RATE formula i.e

= RATE(NPER,PMT,-PV,FV)

= RATE(30 × 2, $1,000 × 7.2% ÷ 2, -$1,080, $1,000)

After calculated this, the rate of interest should be multiplied by 2 and then applied the tax rate of (1 - 0.40)

So, the rate is 3.95%

You need to have $32,000 in 14 years. You can earn an annual interest rate of 3 percent for the first 4 years, 3.6 percent for the next 3 years, and 4.3 percent for the final 7 years. How much do you have to deposit today

Answers

Answer:

PV= 19,042.84

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

You need to have $32,000 in 14 years. You can earn an annual interest rate of 3 percent for the first 4 years, 3.6 percent for the next 3 years, and 4.3 percent for the final 7 years.

To calculate the initial deposit, we need to use the following formula for each interest rate:

PV= FV/(1+i)^n

Last 7 years:

PV= 32,000/(1.043^7)

PV= $23,831.96

Year 4 - 7:

PV= 23,831.96/1.036^(3)

PV= 21,432.88

Finally, for year 0 to 4:

PV= 21,432.88/ 1.03^(4)

PV= 19,042.84

If a firm has a levered beta of .9 and a debt to equity ratio of 1, what is the unlevered beta assuming a tax rate of 30%? (Round to the nearest hundredth)

Answers

Answer:

Unlevered beta = 0.53

Explanation:

Beta is a measure of systematic risk. Systematic risk is further divided into business and financial.

Business risk and financial risk. Business risk is that associated with the nature of the business operations that causes variability in the operating income of the business.

This is measured by the unlevered beta where the company has no debt finance.

Financial risk, on the other hand, is associated with use of debt finance . A company that uses a form of debt would face such risk . The systematic risk of such business would be measured using the levered beta.

The formula below shows the relationship:

βa = βe ×  Ve/ (Ve + Vd(1-T) )

βa -Unlevered beta

βe - Levered beta

Ve- Equity weight

Vd- Debt weight

T- Tax rate

DATA

βe- 0.9

βa- ?

Ve-  1

Vd- 1

T- 0.3

βa = 0.9 ×  1/(1 + 1×(1-0.3)=0.529

βa - 0.53

Unlevered beta = 0.53

Two assets have the following expected returns and standard deviations when the risk-free rate is 5%:

Asset A: Expected return = 10% & SD = 20%
Asset B: Expected return = 15% & SD = 27%

An investor with a risk aversion of A = 3 would find that _________________ on a risk return basis.

a. only Asset A is acceptable
b. only Asset B is acceptable
c. neither Asset A nor Asset B is acceptable
d. both Asset A and Asset B are acceptable

Answers

Answer:

c. neither Asset A nor Asset B is acceptable

Explanation:

The computation of the risk return basis is shown below:-

Optimal Return of Asset A is

= A × 0.5 × Standard Deviation^2 + Risk Free Rate

= 3 × 0.5 × 20%^2 + 5%

= 11%

As 10% is lesser than 11%

Now

Optimal Return of Asset B is

= A × 0.5 × Standard Deviation^2 + Risk Free Rate

= 3 × 0.5 × 27%^2 + 5%

= 15.94%

As 15% is lesser than 15.94%

Therefore neither Asset could be acceptable

Sheridan Company had a 40 percent tax rate. Given the following pre-tax amounts, what would be the income tax expense reported on the face of the income statement?
Sales revenue $ 500,000
Cost of goods sold 300,000
Salaries and wages expense 40,000
Depreciation expense 55,000
Dividend revenue 45,000
Utilities expense 5,000
Extraordinary loss 50,000
Interest expense 10,000
a. $54,000
b. $34,000
c. $36,000
d. $16,000

Answers

Answer:

a. $54,000

Explanation:

The computation of income tax expense reported on the face of the income statement is shown below:-

Income before tax = Sales revenue + Dividend revenue - Cost of goods sold - Salaries and wages expenses - Depreciation expenses - Utilities expenses - Interest expenses

= $500,000 + $45,000 - $300,000 - $40,000 - $55,000 - $5,000 - $10,000

= $135,000

Income tax expenses = Before Income tax × Income tax rate

= $135,000 × 40%

= $54,000

"A customer has signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) to buy $25,000 of XYZ mutual fund to qualify for a breakpoint that reduces the sales charge from 7% to 6%. The customer deposits $15,000 into the fund over the next 13 months. At the end of 13 months, the NAV is $20,000. How much does the customer have to deposit to complete the LOI?"

Answers

Answer:

The customer has to deposit $10,000

Explanation:

Here, we want to know the amount that needs to be deposited by the customer to complete the LOI

This can be deduced using a simple mathematical calculation ;

Amount to be deposited by the customer = 25,000 - amount deposited already

From the question, the amount deposited already = $15,000

So the amount to be deposited by the customer = 25,000-15,000 = $10,000
