Please see explanations below
Explanation:
Need is what one requires or basic necessity that bring survival.
According to Abraham Maslow, there are five basic needs of human beings which are arranged according to how they are valued. They are physiological, security, social, esteem and self actualization.
The needs I would strive to satisfy on the job are security, physiological and social needs. This is because once my job is safe, then my survival is fine because my job is what provides money for me to fend for myself. Another need is physiological need such as having time to rest, have clothing, food and shelter etc. If I have job security, then my physiological needs will be met while I should be able to interact or have relationship with people within my immediate environment ; which is my social need.
Before a manager could play any role in helping me satisfying these needs, the manager must first identify what my needs on the job are, after which he can motivate me so that I can perform at a higher level. Also, for optimal performance, my manager must be able to align my interest, including my team member's interest to that of the organization.
Motivating employees is more challenging today than two decades ago because:_______A) employers have difficulty understanding the different needs and expectations that younger generation employees bring to the workplace. B) there are more layers of management today, which makes it more difficult to motivate everyone in management positions. C) corporate downsizing and reduced job security have damaged the levels of trust employees need to work beyond minimum levels. D) all of the above. E) 'A' and 'C' only.
Answer: E) 'A' and 'C' only.
Explanation:
The younger generation of today are in a new world with new values as opposed to the generation that were at work two decades ago. As such, they need to be motivated in different ways. Where in the past simply using money to motivate was the solution, today's generation require other things to motivate them as well such as fulfilment.
Employers therefore have more difficulty understanding the different needs and expectations that this younger generation bring to the workplace.
Also, with the constant downsizing that affects the workplace today, job security is not as pronounced as in the past which has led to employee morale and trust being damaged because they know that they could work really hard and still have their jobs terminated. A lot of them therefore just work at the minimum level so as not to give too much in case they are indeed fired.

Neat Clothes
1. Can you explain how did we get 22,400?
The total wages for 2 weeks or 10 days (5 days each) is $32,000. For the weeks under review, only 7 days are worked in June, the remaining 3 days are in July. To calculate June salaries alone the $32,000 is divided by 10 days, to get the wages per day, and then multiplied by 7 days for the seven days in June.
2. Why we divide 7 over 10? What does 7 mean and what does 10 represent?
The 7 means the days of work done in June and 10 represents the 2 weeks for which wages are being calculated.
So, dividing 7 over 10 gives the proportion of June salaries from the total of $32,000.

You just paid $1,020 for a security that claims it will pay you $2,000 in 8 years. What is your annual rate of return?
Answer:
The annual interest rate is 8.78 per cent.
Explanation:
The amount paid for security (PV) = $1020
The amount paid in 8 years (FV) = $2000
We have to find the rate of return.
Now, assume i% is the annual interest rate.
Present Value (PV) * (1+i)^n = Future Value (FV)
Future Value (FV) = $ 2,000
Present Value (PV) = $ 1,020
N= 8 years
1,020*(1+i)^8 = 2,000
i = (2,000/1,020)^(1/8) – 1
i = 0.0878 or 8.78%

The Oliver Company plans to market a new product. Based on its market studies, Oliver estimates that it can sell up to 5,500 units in 2005. The selling price will be $2 per unit. Variable costs are estimated to be 20% of total revenue. Fixed costs are estimated to be $6,400 for 2005. How many units should the company sell to break even
Answer:
4,000
Explanation:
Break even quantity = fixed cost / price - variable cost per unit
Total revenue = price x quantity sold
$2 x 5,500 = $11,000
Variable cost = 0.2 x $11,000 = $2,200
Variable cost per unit = $2,200 / 5500 = $0.4
$6,400 / $2 - $0.4 = 4,000

What is the future value of $15,000 received today if it is invested at 7.5% compounded annually for five years
Answer:
the future value is $21,534.44
Explanation:
The computation of the future value is shown below:
As we know that
Future value = Present value × (1 + interest rate)^number of years
where,
Present value is $15,000
The Interest rate is 7.5%
And, the number of the year is 5 years
Now put these values to the above formula
So, the future value is
= $15,000 × (1 + 0.075)^5
= $21,534.44
Hence, the future value is $21,534.44
Which of the following actions will help ease agency conflicts and better align managers’ objectives with the firm’s shareholder wealth?a. Pay the manager a large base salary with a huge stock option package that matures on a single date. b. Pay the manager a combination of salary and stock options (phased in over several years) that reward him or her for consistently increasing shareholder wealth. In addition to well-designed executive compensation packages, other motivational forces can align the interests of managers with those of their shareholders. Which of the following actions could be used to reduce the potential for these agency conflicts and ensure that the firm's managers will pursue the long-term wealth interests of their shareholders? a. Let the manager know that he or she will be fired if the company's stock does not reach a certain target by the end of the year. b. Let the manager know that a takeover is possible if he or she doesn't perform well.
Answer:
1. b. Pay the manager a combination of salary and stock options (phased in over several years) that reward him or her for consistently increasing shareholder wealth
2. b. Let the manager know that a takeover is possible if he or she doesn't perform well.
Explanation:
Agency problems arise when the managers who are meant to be maximising shareholder wealth instead begin to act in their own interests to increase their own wealth.
To avoid this, the company should make the manager a shareholder as well so that in maximising shareholder wealth, the manager will be maximising their own wealth as well. When making them shareholders however, it is imperative that the stock is phased over several years so that the manager will keep increasing shareholder wealth.
Another way to ensure that a manager will try their best for the shareholders is to remind them that failure might lead to a takeover from another company. In takeovers, the managers of the ill performing firm are usually retrenched with the logic being that they were the ones that got the company into ruin so they should not be given the chance to do so again.

If A, B, and C are three activities connected with SS and FF (combination) relationships with 2-day lag on the SS relationships only. Their durations are 5, 10, and 3; respectively. What is the duration of the project:
Answer:
22 days
Explanation:
number of activities : 3 ( A,B,C)
connected via : SS and FF combination. days lag on SS and F = 2
Durations : 5,10 and 3
A and B is connected by SS and there is a 2-day lag on the SS connection, this means that B will start 2 days after A have ended
i.e when T = 0 , B will start : 5 +2 = 7 days and end in 17 days
while B and C is connected by FF and there is also a 2-day lag on the FF connection, this means that C will start after B has ended and end in 2 days
i.e when B ends at 17 days ; C starts = 17 + 2 = 19 DAYS
hence the project will end in 19 + 3 = 22 days ( i.e when C ends )
An investor borrows an amount at an annual effective interest rate of 5% and will repay all interest and principal in a lump sum at the end of 10 years. She uses the amount borrowed to purchase a 1000 par value 10-year bond with 8% semiannual coupons bought to yield 6% convertible semiannually. All coupon payments are reinvested at a nominal rate of 4% convertible semiannually. Calculate the net gain to the investor at the end of 10 years after the loan is repaid
Answer:
$74.14
Explanation:
first we must calculate the market price of the bond:
0.03 = {40 + [(1,000 - MV)/20]} / [(1,000 + MV)/2]
0.03 x [(1,000 + MV)/2] = 40 + [(1,000 - MV)/20]
0.03 x (500 + 0.5MV) = 40 + 50 - 0.05MV
15 + 0.015MV = 90 - 0.05MV
0.065MV = 75
MV = 75 / 0.065 = $1,153.85
so the customer borrowed $1,153.85
in 10 years, the principal + interest will = $1,153.85 x (1 + 5%)¹⁰ = $1,879.50
the customer will receive:
20 semiannual payments of $40, the future value = $40 x 22.841 (FV annuity factor, 2%, 19 periods) + $40 = $953.64
bond's face value = $1,000
total money received = $1,000 + $953.64 = $1,953.64
net gains = $1,953.64 - $1,879.50 = $74.14
A real estate developer is offering identical houses for sale for $350,000 each, and has 20 willing customers. The developer is considering lowering the price to $300,000, since at that price there would be an additional 3 customers willing to purchase houses. What would be the developer’s change in revenue from lowering the price in this way?
Answer: $100,000 less
Explanation:
Since we are informed from the question that the real estate developer is offering identical houses for sale for $350,000 each, and has 20 willing customers, this means that current revenue will be:
= $350,000 × 20
= $7,000,000
By lowering the price, the revenue made will be:
= $300,000 × 23
= $6,900,000
The difference is
$7,000,000 - $6,900,000
= $100,000 less.
