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

Suppose that there is asymmetric information in the market for used cars. Sellers know the quality of the car that they are​ sel
denis23 [38]

Answer:

A buyer would be willing to pay at most $24,000.

Explanation:

There is a 40% chance of getting low quality cars.

Value of high quality car is $30,000.

Value of low quality car is $15,000.

Price of car that buyer will be willing to pay

=40% of lower quality+60% of higher quality

=40% of $15,000+60% of $30,000

=0.4*15,000+0.6*30,000

=$6,000+$18,000

=$24,000

So, the buyers will be willing to pay a maximum value of $24,000.

Park Co. is considering an investment that requires immediate payment of $27,000 and provides expected cash inflows of $9,000 an
Reil [10]

Answer:

IRR =   12.92%

Explanation:

<em>The IRR is the discount rate that equates the present value of cash inflows to that of cash outflows. At the IRR, the Net Present Value (NPV) of a project is equal to zero </em>

<em>If the IRR greater than the required rate of return , we accept the project for implementation  </em>

<em>If the IRR is less than that the required rate , we reject the project for implementation  </em>

A project that provides annual cash flows of $24,000 for 9 years costs $110,000 today. Under the IRR decision rule, is this a good project if the required return is 8 percent?

Lets Calculate the IRR

<em>Step 1: Use the given discount rate of 10% and work out the NPV </em>

NPV = 9000× (1-1.10^(-4)/0.1) - 27,000 =1528.78

<em>Step 2 : Use discount rate of 20% and work out the NPV (20% is a trial figure) </em>

NPV = 9000× 1- 1.20^(-4)/0.2 - 27000 = -3701.38

<em>Step 3: calculate IRR </em>

<em>IRR = a% + ( NPVa/(NPVa + NPVb)× (b-a)%</em>

IRR = 10% +  1528.78/(1528.78+3701.38)× (20-10)%= 0.12923

     = 0.129230153  × 100

IRR =   12.92%
