Looking back over the last ten years or so, what was changed in your workplace? What do you think will happen next in your work place 5 years from now?
As 2020 draws near, it’s hard not to reflect on the past decade- so much has changed in the 10 years that flew by. In 2010, those who even had a smartphone were carrying around an iPhone 4 or a BlackBerry OS 6.0 version.
While the illustrious BlackBerry has all but disappeared from the workplace of 2019, there has been plenty of technologies in its wake to replace it. Let’s take a look at how the workplace has changed, communication tools and otherwise, in the past decade.
1. Collaboration over competition
“So many things have happened in the last decade that have really accelerated this change from competition to collaboration,” said Ann Shoket, workplace thought leader and former Editor-In-Chief of Seventeen Magazine.
“So first of all this old idea that there was room at the table for one woman, and you would fight tooth or nail for that spot, so obviously there was a lot of competition, particularly among women.
“Then the next generation, Millennial women, came in and made more room at the table and brought their friends along with them. That was the shift toward collaboration.”
2. It’s an employee market, not an employer market
“Reflecting back on 2010 and what the economic circumstances were versus where we are at today, the competition for talent was very different in 2010 than as we enter 2020,” said Rhiannon Staples, the Chief Marketing Officer at Hibob.
Low unemployment rates today mean that job seekers have more options, and employees have more leverage in terms of what they can expect of their company due to the competition for top talent.
“It really is on businesses to help develop an environment, a culture, and perks that really draw the best talent in the market,” Staples said. “That’s really very different from where we were just 10 years ago.”
3. Push towards a more remote workforce
Anyone in the workforce 10 years ago won’t be shocked that the change in when and where we work made this list. Whereas in the past remote work was reserved for special situations, that kind of idea is now replaced by a lot more freedom of where you work and when you work, and that’s not just people who are entrepreneurs. This idea is something that everybody wants out of work, to have a more flexible time frame to be free from the office. This idea of freedom is such an important piece of where we are going at work.
“That kind of idea is now replaced by a lot more freedom of where you work and when you work, and that’s not just people who are entrepreneurs,” Shoket said. “This idea is something that everybody wants out of work, to have a more flexible time frame to be free from the office. This idea of freedom is such an important piece of where we are going at work.”
In a free enterprise system, consumers choose their occupations and decide where
to live, where to shop, and where to buy.

in your own opinion, what is the advantages and disadvantages of having a business website.
Answer:
There are several advantages and disadvantages to having a website for your business or limited company. In the modern age, more and more businesses are getting online. As I mentioned in a previous post, there were around 227,225,642 websites online in September 2010. If you don’t take your business onto the World Wide Web, you could miss out on potential customers, sales and profits. According to data collected by the Office for National Statistics – internet sales were up to £473million (a week) in August 2010 (Retail Sales Statistical Bulletin – August 2010). So having a website designed for your small business or limited company is just one important step towards getting a slice of the internet pie.
The company is now using only 70% of its normal capacity; it could fully use its normal capacity by processing the assembly further and selling it for $51 per unit. If the company does this, material and labor costs will each increase by $2 per unit and variable overhead will go up by $1 per unit. Fixed costs will increase from the current level of $160,000 to $225,000.
Required:
Prepare an analysis showing whether Jensen should process the assemblies further.
Answer and Explanation:
The preparation of the analysis shows whether the assemblies should process further or not is presented below:
Differential revenue (38,000 units × ($51 - $44)) $266,000
Differential costs:
Direct material (38,000units × $2 per unit) ($76,000)
Direct labor (38,000units × $2 per unit) ($76,000)
Variable overhead (38,000units × $1 per unit) ($38,000)
Fixed costs ($160,000 - $225,000) ($65,000)
Additional income (loss) from processing further $11,000
Since the amount comes in positive so it should be processed further
On November 1, Year One, a company is paid $12,000 in advance to do a job for a customer. The job has ten separate steps. The first four steps were completed in Year One and the remaining six steps were completed in Year Two. The accountant mistakenly believed that this was just one big job and recorded it in that fashion. However, each of the ten steps was really an individual job and should have been accounted for in that way. Which of the following statements is true?
a. At the end of Year One, the company's liabilities are understated.
b. At the end of Year Two, the company's assets are overstated.
c. At the end of Year Two, the company's retained earnings are overstated.
d. At the end of Year One, the company's retained earnings are understated.
e. At the end of Year Two, the company's net income is understated.
Answer: a. At the end of Year One, the company's liabilities are understated.
Explanation:
Under the Accrual basis of Accounting, revenue should be recorded for only jobs that have been completed. In other words, only earned revenue should be recorded. Revenue that has not been earned but yet received, is to be termed Deferred revenue and should be treated as a current liability.
In this scenario, there are steps that have not been completed so some of the revenue received should be termed deferred revenue. These should therefore be in current liabilities and because they were not, the liabilities for the end of year 1 will be understated.

The Filling Department received 52,900 ounces from the Blending Department. During the period, the Filling Department completed 67,000 ounces, including 16,700 ounces of work in process at the beginning of the period. The ending work in process inventory was 2,600 ounces.
Required:
How many ounces were started and completed during the period?b
Answer: 50,300 ounces
Explanation:
Ounces started would exclude the beginning ounces while ounces completed would include the beginning ounces.
Ounces started and completed during the period are:
= Ounces completed - Beginning Work in process ounces
= 67,000 - 16,700
= 50,300 ounces
Fore Farms reported a pretax operating loss of $210 million for financial reporting purposes in 2021. Contributing to the loss were (a) a penalty of $10 million assessed by the Environmental Protection Agency for violation of a federal law and paid in 2021 and (b) an estimated loss of $20 million from accruing a loss contingency. The loss will be tax deductible when paid in 2022. The enacted tax rate is 25%. There were no temporary differences at the beginning of the year and none originating in 2021 other than those described above. Required: 1. Prepare the journal entry to recognize the income tax benefit of the net operating loss in 2021. 2. What is the net operating loss reported in 2021 income statement
Answer:
Fore Farms
1. Journal Entry
Debit Net operating loss $180 million
Credit Loss Carryforward Relief $180 million
To record the income tax benefit of the net operating loss.
2. The net operating loss reported in 2021 income statement is $180 million.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Enacted tax rate = 25%
2021 Reported pretax operating loss = $210 million
Less:
Penalty for EPA violation = 10 million
Loss contingency accrued
(temporary difference) = 20 million
Net pretax operating loss = $180 million
b) The net operating loss (NOL) suffered by Fore Farms, after adjusting non-allowable penalty for EPA violation and temporary differences, will be used to offset the company's tax payments in subsequent tax periods. This is an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) tax provision called a "loss carryforward." It allows some tax relief to Fore Farms for losing money in 2021.
The current price of the Volkswagen ADR (VWAGY) is 35.50. You purchase 50 shares on margin. You finance half of the purchase yourself and borrow the other half from your broker at an annual interest rate of 6.0%. Assume that the ADR pays an annual dividend of 0.56 per share. If the price in one year is 42, what is the return on your investment (keep in mind that you need to pay interest on the loan)
Answer:
33.77%
Explanation:
In one year, you are going to receive ($42 x 100) + ($0.56 x 100) = $4,256
you must return ($35.50 x 50) = $1,775
plus interests = $1,775 x 6% = $106.50
total return = $4,256 - $1,775 - $106.50 = $2,374.50
you invested $1,775
return on your investment = ($2,374.50 / $1,775) - 1 = 33.77%

Answer:
lower per capita real gross domestic product (GDP) growth rates allow for less spending on automobiles.
Explanation:
Gross Domestic Products (GDP) is a measure of the total market value of all finished goods and services made within a country during a specific period.
Simply stated, GDP is a measure of the total income of all individuals in an economy and the total expenses incurred on the economy's output of goods and services in a particular country.
Generally, the Gross Domestic Products (GDP) of a country's economy gives an insight to the social well-being of the country, such as;
Adjusting the Real gross domestic product (Real GDP) for price level changes by using a price index. This simply means, Real GDP is adjusted for inflation to measure the value of goods and services produced by a country in a specific period of time.
Mathematically, [tex]{Real GDP}=\frac{\text{Nominal GDP}}{\text{GDP deflator}}[/tex]
Hence, residents of poor countries tend to have fewer automobiles per capita because lower per capita real gross domestic product (GDP) growth rates allow for less spending on automobiles.

You are a financial adviser working with a client who wants to retire in eight years. The client has a savings account with a local bank that pays 8% annual interest. The client wants to deposit an amount that will provide her with $1,003,500 when she retires. Currently, she has $301,400 in the account. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, and PVA of $1) (Use the appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)
How much additional money should she deposit now to provide her with $1,003,500 when she retires? (Round your answer to nearest whole dollar.)
Answer:
x = $240759.82559797761 rounded off to $240.759.83
Explanation:
To calculate the additional amount that is required to be invested today, we will use the formula for Future value of a cash flow.
FV = PV * (1+r)^t
Where,
FV and PV are future value and present value respectivelyr is the interest rate or rate of returnt is the time periodWe know the Future value that is the sum required and we know the r which is 8% and t which is 8 years. We know the partial PV which is 301400 and we need to calculate the other part of PV. Thus we can say that PV = 301400 + x
Solving the equation for x where x is the additional money that should be deposited today.
1003500 = (301400 + x) * (1+0.08)^8
1003500 / (1+0.08)^8 = (301400 + x)
542159.8255977329 = 301400 + x
542159.8255977329 - 301400 = x
x = $240759.82559797761 rounded off to $240.759.83

Carla McFarland was an associate professor of English literature at Highland College. She was the only single person in her department. Consequently, she was frequently assigned classes late in the evening, on weekends, and during the summer semester. She was also called upon to pick up visiting professors and serve as their escort and guide during their stays at the college. She received extra duty as adviser to the The Highland Review, the college’s literary magazine. When McFarland complained about the unequal treatment, she was told that the married professors had family responsibilities that she did not have, which took up much of their time and prevented them from having the flexibility that she had. Thus, she would continue to carry the extra load. McFarland filed a complaint with the EEOC.
Required:
Can discrimination based on an employee’s status as a single person be considered unlawful under the Civil Rights Act? Explain. Is this a case of disparate impact or disparate treatment? Explain.
Answer and Explanation:
The case shown above is an example of discrimination by civil status, however it is not an example of violation of the civil rights law, as it is not prohibited by the Civil Rights Act of 1964. However, some states have their own legislation that prevents this type of discrimination, which makes it a violation of state laws, which can lead the offender to be severely punished.
This is an example of case of disparate treatment, as we can see that there is discriminatory treatment with an employee, where she is treated differently compared to other employees because of a characteristic of her personal life.
This would be a case of disparate impact if there were a group of protected and privileged employees at the expense of the exploitation of other employees.

Nicholas is the production manager for a manufacturing firm. He has two supervisors who are experiencing conflict with each other based upon personality differences. Nicholas should have held a meeting last week to discuss next year's budget, but cancelled it because the two supervisors had a verbal confrontation on the shop floor the previous day. What conflict handling style is Nicholas demonstrating
Answer:
Avoidance
Explanation:
Conflict or disagreement usually occurs when individuals or members of a group engage in an expressed struggle that hinders a task accomplishment. This occurs mainly due to the real and perceived differences that exist among individuals or members of a group.
Communication
Simply deals with how individuals coordinate actions and achieve goals. It is usually refered to as the process by which information is exchanged between individuals via a common system such as symbols, signs, or behavior. People communicate differently and when you don't understand each other ways, attitude or method of communication, conflict is bound to occur.
Avoiding conflict-handling style
This is a type of conflict handling style that is generally of little/low concern for meeting the needs of both yourself and your group members. It is the act of deliberately ignoring or withdrawing yourself and hopingthe problem will go away and letting others to handle it. It is only useful when facing trivial/temporary issues, no chance to get what you want, when others can, when people need to cool down/get more information etc. But it usually makes other people perceive you as uncaring and a conflict simmers.

During the middle years of last decade, the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar has declined against the currencies of its major trading partners. You would expect this to result in a corresponding increase in U.S. dollar denominated import prices from those trading partners. U.S. dollar import prices, however, often rise less than the increase in the currency value of the exporter. Why
Answer:
Because there are other factors that influence the weakening or strengthening of the dollar, not just the dollar exchange rate in relation to the exchange rates of other countries' currencies.
Explanation:
Although the United States has registered increases in the trade deficit, that is, when the country imports more goods and services from abroad than it exports, there are other factors that determine whether the country's currency is valued or not. In the case of the dollar, its value has not decreased despite the fall in the exchange rate of the dollar in relation to the currencies of its main trading partners due to the fact that the dollar is the main reserve currency in the world, which means that the dollar is the fashion of commercial transaction in the world, therefore its value is not lost in relation to other currencies, since several important transactions in the world such as gold and oil commodities are traded in dollars.
There is also the fact that the US attracts a lot of international investment for US Treasury bills, which helps to strengthen the dollar.
Rockwood Industries has 100 million shares outstanding, a current share price of $25, and no debt. Rockwood's management believes that the shares are under-priced, and that the true value is $30 per share. Rockwood plans to pay $250 million in cash to its shareholders by repurchasing shares. Management expects that very soon new information will come out that will cause investors to revise their opinion of the firm and agree with Rockwood's assessment of the firm's true value. Assume that Rockwood is not able to repurchase shares prior to the market becoming aware of the new information regarding Rockwood's true value. If Rockwood repurchases the shares following the release of the new information, then the number of shares outstanding following the repurchase is closest to:_______
A. $30.00
B. $31.50
C. 28.75
D. $30.60
Answer:
D. $30.60
Explanation:
A step by step approach is provided below to determine the shares value after repurchase.
Number of Shares Repurchased = $250 million / $25 per share
Number of Shares Repurchased = 10 million shares
The total number of shares outstanding after repurchase are 90 Million (100 million - 10 million).
Value of the firm before repurchase = $30 x 100 million shares = $3,000 million
Value of the firm after repurchase = $3,000 million - $250 million = $2,750 million
Price per share after repurchase = $2,750 million / 90 million shares = $30.56 per share
You have decided to buy a used car. The dealer has offered you two options: (FV of S1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, and PVA of $1) (Use the appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)
a. Pay $540 per month for 25 months and an additional $10,000 at the end of 25 months. The dealer is charging an annual interest rate of 24%.
b. Make a one-time payment of $16,638, due when you purchase the car.
1-a. Determine how much cash the dealer would charge in option (a). (Round your final answer to nearest whole dollar.) Present value
1-b. In present value terms, which offer is clearly a better deal?
a. Option a
b. Option b
c. The present values of the options are nearly the same
Answer:
1-a.
in order to determine the present value of option a we can look for the PVIFA (annuity factor) for 24% / 12 = 2% monthly rate and 25 payments.
PVIFA = 19.523
Present value of the 25 payments = $540 x 19.523 = $10,542.42
+
Present value of final payment = $10,000 / (1 + 24%)²⁵/¹² = $6,388.10
PV = $16,930.52
Present value of option b = $16,638
1-b.
b. option b (lower present value)
