Answer:

The correct answer is letter "E": They need to define the task and maintenance roles.

Explanation:

The Big Five (5) personality traits are applied in business to describe employee performance. Those factors are Neuroticism, Extraversion, Openness to Experience, Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness. Employees with low Conscientiousness tend to be lazy and are easily distracted. Employees with high Conscientiousness work efficiently and meticulously.

In that case, if in a group low conscientiousness is identified managers should assign tasks so each worker will know what to do at what time.

jonny [76]

Answer:

Option C.

Explanation:

According to the expectancy theory, or expectancy theory of motivation, an individual behaves or act in a certain way, because he/she is motivated to choose a particular behavior over others, because of what the expected result of the chosen behavior will be. What this means is that, the motivation of the behavior selection lies in the desirability of the outcome.

Expectancy theory talks about the mental processes involved as regards choice, or choosing. It attempts to show the processes that an individual undergoes in order to make choices.

As we can see in the scenario above, Richa is motivated by the belief that hard work and perseverance will help her perform well and complete the design on time, and so, this is the behavior that she has chosen, which has led to the desired outcome of completing the design on time.

Mimi Company is considering a capital investment of $275,000 in new equipment. The equipment is expected to have a 5-year useful

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

Payback Period: 11 Years

Net Present Value: $123,055

Profitability Index: 0.45

Internal rate of return: 53.48%

Annual rate of return: 38.18%

Explanation:

Payback Period:

The Cash Payback Period can be calculated from the following formula, when the cash inflows are even Cash flows:

Payback Period = Investment / Even Cash flow

Here total annual even cash flow = $25,000 + $80,000 = $105,000

By putting values, we have:

Payback Period = $275,000 / $25,000 = 11 Years

Net Present Value:

As we know:

Net present Value = Present Value of Cash inflow - Present Value of Cash Outflow

Here

Present Value of Cash Inflow = Even Cash flow * Annuity Factor

By putting values:

Present Value of Cash Inflow = $105,000 * 3.791 = $398,055

Now Present value of cash outflow which is investment will the same because the money is invested in the year zero.

Which means:

Net present Value = $398,055 - 275,000 = $123,055

Profitability Index:

The profitability Index can be calculated using the following formula:

PI = NPV / Investment

So by putting values, we have:

PI = $123,055 / $275,000 = 0.45

Internal rate of return:

At 10%, NPV is $123,055 so all we have to do is to use a higher cost of capital to find using the formula at the end, the breakeven rate of return at which NPV is zero.

So I choose 20%.

At 20%, annuity factor is 2.990 which is approximately 3.

NPV = $125,000 * 3 - $275,000 = $100,000

By putting values in the following formula:

IRR = Lower Percentage + (Higher percentage - Lower percentage) * (NPV at Higher Percentage) / (NPV at lower - NPV at higher)

By putting values, we have:

IRR = 10% + (20% - 10%) * ($100,000) / ($123000 - $100,000)

IRR = 10% + 10% * 4.348 = 53.48%

Annual rate of return:

Annual rate of return can be calculated using the following formula:

Annual rate of return = Earnings Before Interest and tax / Investment

Here

Earnings before interest and tax is $105,000

So by putting formula, we have:

Annual rate of return = $105,000 / $275,000 = 38.18%

Total payroll of Walnut Co. was $2,760,000, of which $480,000 represented amounts

Tatiana [17]

Answer and Explanation:

The journal entries are shown below:

a)Salaries and Wages Expense $2,760,000

To Withholding Taxes Payable $675,000

To FICA Taxes Payable $181,380*

To Cash $1,903,620

(Being the salaries and wages expense is recorded)

The computation for the FICA tax payable is

= {(Total payroll - excess amount) × FICA tax rate] + (Excess amount × excess rate)

= [($2,760,000 – $480,000) × 7.65%] + ($480,000 × 1.45%)

= $181,380

For recording this we debited the salaries and wages expense as it increased the expenses and at the same time it also increased the liabilities so withholding tax payable and FICA tax payable is credited and since cash is paid which results in reduction of assets

(b) Payroll Tax Expense $193,380

To FICA Taxes Payable $181,380

To FUTA Taxes Payable

[($2,760,000 – $2,160,000) × 0.8%] $4,800

To SUTA Taxes Payable ($600,000 × 1.2%) $7,200

(Being the payroll tax expense is recorded)

For recording this we debited the payroll tax expense as it increased the expenses and at the same time it also increased the liabilities so FUTA tax payable, FICA tax payable , and SUTA tax payable is credited
