At the Blue Restaurants Corporation, an employee survey reports that efforts to increase worker satisfaction by redesigning jobs led to greater job satisfaction. The human resource department also measured lower rates of absenteeism and employee turnover. What will be the most likely impact of these trends on the profits of Blue Restaurants
Answer:
lower costs, leading to higher profits
Explanation:
Improving job satisfaction in the workplace results in better productivity. This is because employees get to enjoy what they do rather than feeling forced to work.
When the workplace is conducive it will result in lower rates of absenteeism and employee turnover.
These in turn lead to lower costs and higher profit.
Staff turnover is costly on the business as new hires have to be trained on the job to be effective.
Evelyn invests $5,000 in a savings account that pays interest at a rate of 6.7% compounded annually. If she withdraws half the interest earned at the end of the third year, approximately how much additional interest does she earn during the fourth year
Answer:
$371
Explanation:
The computation of additional interest during the fourth year is shown below:
but before that we need to do the following calculations
Amount = Principal × (1 + (rate of interest ÷ (1 × 100)))^(1 × number of years)
A = $5,000 × (1 + (6.7% ÷ (1 × 100)))^(1 × 3)
= $5,000 × (1 + (6.7 ÷ 100))^(1 × 3)
= $5,000 × (1 + 0.067)^3
= $5,000 × (1.067)^3
= 5000 × 1.214
= $6,070
Now, Interest gained after 3 years on the amount of Principal is
= $6,070 - $5,000
= $1,070
Here Evelyn issued interest which is half that is earned at the end of the 3rd year
Sp,
Half of the interest gained will be
= $1,070 ÷ 2
= $535
Now,
The new Principal amount for 4th year is
= $6,070 - $535
= $5,535
So, the final amount in the fourth year is
A = P × (1 + (r ÷ n))^(nt)
= $5,535 × (1 + 0.067 ÷ 1 ]^(1 × 1)
= $5,535 × 1.067
= $5.905.845
Hence the additional interest in the fourth year is
= $5,905.845 - $5,535
= $370.845
or
= $371
Therefore for computing the additional interest during the fourth year we simply applied the above formula.

A company has $102,000 in outstanding accounts receivable and it uses the allowance method to account for uncollectible accounts. Experience suggests that 6% of outstanding receivables are uncollectible. The current balance (before adjustments) in the allowance for doubtful accounts is a(n) $920 debit. The journal entry to record the adjustment to the allowance account includes a debit to Bad Debts Expense for:
Answer:
$7,040 credit
Explanation:
Based on the scenario being described, the journal entry would be a $7,040 credit. This can be calculated by accounting for the desired balance in allowance account which would be the outstanding account receivable times the uncollectable percentage in decimal form (0.06) like so...
$102,000 × 0.06 =$6,120 credit
Finally, 920 is debited to that amount which sums it up to $7,040 credit ($6,120 + 920 )
Suppose the market for a good is composed of 1,000 identical consumers. The market's demand curve is given by QM = 150,000 – 25P. What is the equation for an individual consumer's demand curve?
Answer:
Q = 150 - 0.025.
Explanation:
Given that
Number of identical consumers = 1,000
Market demand curve is given by
QM = 150,000 - 25P
Based on the above information.
The equation for an individual demand curve is shown below:
As we know that the market demand is the total of an individual demand. So, the 1,000 identical demand function would be there and also we have to divide the market demand curve by $1,000 to find out the individual demand curve
So,
Q = 150 - 0.025 as (150,000 – 25P) ÷ 1000
Q = 150 - 0.025.
What is the expected rate of return for a stock that has a beta of 1 if the expected return on the market is 13%?A. 15%.B. More than 15%.C. Cannot be determined without the risk-free rate.
Answer:
Option C, Cannot be determined without the risk-free rate, is the right answer.
Explanation:
Given the beta value = 1
The expected return on the market = 13%
From the given information we have to find the expected rate of return but without risk-free rate, it can not be determined because if we calculate the expected return then the resulting expected rate of return is not in the options. Below is the formula for the expected return.
Expected return = risk-free interest rate + Beta value × (Market rate- risk-free rate).
As the risk-free rate is not given so as the expected return cannot be determined.

The estimated residual value of the property is $150,000. During the first year, the company extracted 6,500 tons of ore. The depletion expense is
Answer:
$26,000
Explanation:
Weber company purchases a mining site for $1,750,000
The company is expected to mine ore for a period of 10 years
A total of 400,000 tons is expected to be recovered
The estimated residual value of the property is $150,000
During the first year, the company extracts 6,500 tons
Therefore, the depletion expense can be calculated as follows
Depletion expense= Actual number of tons that was extracted/Total number of tons to be extracted during the working period × (Original cost of the site-residual value)
= 6,500 tons/400,000 tons × ($1,750,000-$150,000)
= 0.01625 × $1,600,000
= $26,000
Hence the depletion expense is $26,000

Answer:
$29.4 per share
Explanation:
A company has 50,000 shares of common stock outstanding
The stockholder's equity that is applicable to common shares is $1,470,000
The per value of common share is $5
