Explanation:
Appraisal refers to the process (mostly formal) to evaluate the productivity of the manpower of an organisation. It serves for administrative as well as developmental purpose.
Performance appraisal serves three important purpose-
- Providing adequate feedback to employees based on his/her performance.
- It can help in modifying employee behaviour and thus contributing to an effective workspace environment.
- Providing qualitative parameters to higher-order authority through which they can adjudge their subordinates.
However, appraisals occasionally fail in their motive due to following reasons-
- Appraisals are prone to biases prevailing in the work environment. Moreover, the neutrality of the rating authority is also often under the scanner.
- The appraisals are often inflicted by sampling error. The conclusion of few cannot be generalised on all.
- Appraisals don’t take into account the variability of the employee's performance, Rather it relies on the end performance and the start.

Explanation:
A property dividend should be recorded in retained earnings at the property's <u>market value at date of declaration.</u>
<u>The date of declaration is the date on which the firm has made the commitment to pay the dividend. The market value on this date is the value that was considered when the board made the decision to distribute a property dividend and thus is the appropriate measure of the sacrifice to the firm.
</u>
<u>
</u>In application to the scenario, <u>the property dividend will be recorded in retained earnings at the market value at the date of declaration which is Jan 15 </u>NOT on the day it is payable.
Hence, retained earnings will reduce by $25,000

Answer:
6.35%
Explanation:
you can use the yield to maturity formula to determine the coupon:
YTM = {coupon + [(face value - market value) / n]} / [(face value + market value) / 2]
0.065 = {coupon + [(1,000 - 984.56) / 15]} / [(1,000 + 984.56) / 2]
0.065 = {coupon + 1.029} / 992.28
64.4982 = coupon + 1.029
coupon = 63.47
coupon rate = 63.47 / 1,000 = 0.06347 = 6.35%
