Instrumentality.

Since Rick believes that working hard will result in better incentives and his attitude towards these incentives is not known, we can say that in the context of expectancy theory of motivation, that this scenario best reflects the factor of <u>instrumentality</u>.

Vroom's expectancy theory of motivation attempts to explain that people choose to perform certain actions over other in a manner that aims to maximize pleasure and reduce pain to lowest possible extent.

There are three factors that affect motivation : expectancy, instrumentality and valence.

Expectancy : refers to the belief of working harder with the expectation of attaining the goals set within an organization.

Instrumentality : refers to the belief that one will be rewarded if certain goals are met. These rewards may take the form of increased wages, recognition, increased incentives etc.

Valence: refers to the value attached by the worker to the reward that has been attained.

Mr. Bailey would like to gift $515,000 (FMV) of appreciated property (basis $200,000) to his son. Mr. Bailey doesn't want to use
Oliga [24]

Answer:

He should set a grantor retained annuity trust (GRAT).

Explanation:

Mr. Bailey would be the grantor that transfers the asset into the GRAT, but retains the right to receive annuity payments for a number of years. The IRS has set a minimum annuity corresponding to the Section 7520 rate, during the last two years the rate has varied from 2-3%. When the trust expires (pays all the annuities), the beneficiary gets the asset tax free.

Since the grantor is giving up an asset but in exchange is receiving an annuity form it, there is no applicable gift tax, it is called a zeroed-out GRAT.

This type of grant makes sense only if the grantor believes that the future value of the asset will be higher than the current value, since the annuity is based on the current value. In this case, Mr. Bailey would receive payments based on a $200,000 value, but the property's fair market value is already higher and should increase as time passes.

raketka [301]

Based on the sales figure and the change in the accounts receivable balance, the amount of cash received from customers wa<u>s $14,300.</u>

<h3>What was the amount of cash received?</h3>

The accounts receivable balance refers to the amount that customers owe to the company.

This means that if the accounts receivable balance decreases by the certain amount, it would be because that amount was paid by the customers who owe the business.

The cash paid is therefore the amount of $14,300 which the balance reduced by.

The required return on the company's stock given the growth rate and the dividend yield is 10.4%.

<h3>What is the required return?</h3>

The required return is the return that investors demand for investing in a stock. The more risky a stock is, the higher the return demanded by investors.

Required return = dividend yield + growth rate
