Imagine that you are a manager at Applebee’s, a restaurant chain. Turnover is always a challenge with restaurant employees, and

yours are no different. Your restaurant’s turnover rate is a little above the company average, and you would like to improve it. You believe that having better trained and more experienced servers will help you to decrease staffing costs and improve customer service and sales. Fortunately, you have a lot of control over how your restaurant’s jobs are designed and believe that redesigning the work might improve employees’ motivation, absenteeism, and turnover. You recently administered a survey assessing your employees’ job satisfaction, motivation, and perceptions about their jobs at Applebee’s that confirmed your suspicions. Employees provided a lot of honest information and additional comments that you think will be useful in restructuring your stores based on the job characteristics theory.
One thing that you noticed from the survey is that employees' growth need strength tends to consistently be quite high. What does this mean to your job redesign initiative?
a. Your interventions to the core job characteristics are likely to work well with some employees, but not for others.
b. Your interventions to the core job characteristics are likely to work well for some jobs, such as dishwashers, but not all of them, such as hosts/hostesses
c. Your interventions to the core job characteristics are unlikely to be effective.
d. Your interventions to the core job characteristics are likely to be effective.
After carefully considering the most recent employee survey results, you decide that Applebee's core issue is that employees feel that they have no control over how they do their jobs, which makes them feel unable to provide the best customer service that they can. Knowing this, which critical psychological state will you be most targeting in your job redesign initiative?
a. Experienced responsibility for outcomes of the work
b. Knowledge of the actual results of work activities
c. Growth need strength
d. Experienced meaningfulness of the work

You purchased shares of stock one year ago at a price of $62.37 per share. During the year, you received dividend payments of $1
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

real rate of return= 10.93%

Explanation:

The return on equity is the sum of the dividends earned and capital gains made during the holding period of the investment.

Dividend is the proportion of the profit made by a company which is paid to shareholders.  

Capital gains is another type of the return made on an equity investment as a result of increase in the value of the shares. It is difference between the cost of the share and the value at the time of disposal.

Therefore, we can can compute the return on the investment as follows:

Capital gain =  $69.49- 62.37 = 6.92

Dividend -= 1.77

Nominal return on stock= (1.77 + 6.92)/ 62.37 × 100 =  13.93 %

Inflation is the increase in the price level.It erodes the value of money.rise in the price of money  

Nominal interest is that quoted for investment or loan transactions. It has not been been adjusted for inflation.  

Real interest rate is the amount of interest in terms of the the quantity of good and services that can be purchased. It is the nominal interest rate adjusted for inflation.  

The relationship between inflation, real return and nominal return rate is given using the Fishers Effect;  

N = ( (1+R) × (1+F)) - 1  

N- nominal rate, R-real rate, F- inflation  

real rate of return = (1.1393)/ (1.027)- 1 = 0.1093

real rate of return = 0.1093 × 100 = 10.93%

real rate of return= 10.93%

alex41 [277]

Answer:

1. PV = 101.87

2. YTM = 7.46%

3. Price of the bond  is $100.92

Explanation:

PV = 8.5/ (1.065) + 108.5/ (1.075)2

PV = 7.981 + 93.889

PV = 101.87

Part B:

PV = 101.870

FV = 100

N = 2

PMT = 8.5

Using Financial Calculator:

r = 7.459237

YTM = 7.46%

Part C:

The forward rate for next year, derived from the zero-coupon yield curve, is approximately:

(1 + forward Rate) = (1 + 0.075)2/ (1.065)

forward rate = 8.51%

Price of the bond = 108.5/ (1.0851)

Price of the bond = 100

Part D:

Interest Rate = 8.51% - 1% = 7.51%

Price of the bond = 108.5/ (1.0751)

Price of the bond = 100.92
