burnett corp. pays a constant $7.40 dividend on its stock. the company will maintain this dividend for the next 8 years and will then cease paying dividends forever. If the required return on this stock is 12 percent, what is the current share price

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is $36.778.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

Dividend = $7.40

Time period (t) = 8 years

Return required (r) = 12%

So, we can calculate the current share price by using following formula:

Current share price = Dividend ×  Present value of annuity for 8 years

Where, Present value of Annuity for 8 years = = (1 - (1+r)^-t) ÷ r

= (1 - (1+12%)^-8) ÷ 12%)

= (( 1 - 0.40388322797) ÷ 0.12)

= $4.967639766916667 or $4.97

So, by putting the value, we get

Current share price = $7.40 × $4.97

= $36.778

A company wants to set up operations in a country with the following corporate tax rate structure: Taxable Income Tax Rate <$50,000 15% $50,000 - $75,000 25% $75,000 - $100,000 34% >$100,000 39% Therefore, a taxable income of $60,000 would result in taxes due of $50,000*0.15 + ($60,000-$50,000)*0.25 = $50,000*0.15 + $10,000*0.25 = $10,000 If the compay expects gross revenues of $400,000, $100,000 in total costs, $60,000 in allowable tax deductions and $12,000 in a one-time business start-up credit, how much should the company expect to pay in taxes?

Answers

Answer:

Taxable income = $240,000

Amount payable = $64,850

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

Taxable income :

Gross revenue = $400,000

Total cost = $100,000

Net profit = $400,000 - $100,000 = $300,000

Allowable tax deduction = $60,000

Taxable income = $300,000 - $60,000

= $240,000

Tax to be paid :

Computation of tax       Amount to be taxed           Rate            Tax

$50,000                                 $50,000                        15%            $7,500

$50,000 to $75,000             $25,000                        25%           $6,250

$75,000 to $100,000           $25,000                         34%           $8,500

More than $100,000             $140,000                       39%           $54,600

Total tax                                                                                           $76,850

Amount payable = Total tax - Tax credit

= $76,850 - $12,000

=$64,850

Amos Company

Statement of retained earning

as on December 31, 2017

Retained Earning December 31, 2016    $859,000

Add: Net Income for 2018                       $223,000

Dividend                                                  -$29,000

Prior years error adjustment                  -$37,600  

Retained Earning December 31             $1,015,400

Explanation:

Retained Earning is an equity account and its balance is credit in nature. It is the accumulated balance of all the prior year's income / losses after paying all the dividend. This balance can be used for the dividend payment or reinvestment in the business.

Omission of depreciation expense understated the expenses for the year and overstated the profit of 2015, which ultimately overstated the retained earning value. we need to adjust this error in retained earning balance because it is adjustment of an prior year error, it will not be included in the current years net income calculations. It already netted off so we just simply adjust it in the retained earning with the value of $37,600.

Refer to the HR Reports in the Inquirer. Through past investments in recruiting and training Digby has obtained a productivity index of 109.4%. This means that Digby's labor costs would be increased by 9.4% if it did not have these productivity improvements. This is a competitive advantage that Digby can sustain or even widen further if its competitors have no HR initiatives. Now, refer to the Income Statement in Digby's Annual Report. How much did Digby's productivity improvements save it in direct labor costs (in thousands) last year

Answers

Answer:

$ 3,063.

Explanation:

Saving in labor cost last year = Labor cost during current year * Increase in labor cost during current year.

= 32584 * 9.4 %

= $ 3,063

Conclusion :- Option a). $ 3,063. (This amount of $ 3063 increase in labor costs during current year as compared to last year represents to saving in labor costs during the last year i.e., Labor costs were less / short by $ 3063 during the last year).

Kindly note that this solution was arrived at based on the information that is available to me.

The direct labor cost is the cost incurred over the labor or employees for producing the goods or providing the services. There is a direct relationship between the productivity and direct labor cost.

The saving amount of direct labor cost for improving the productivity is $3,063.

Computation:

Given:

Labor cost of current year =$32,584

Percentage increase in labor cost =9.4%

[tex]\begin{aligned}\rm{Saving in labor cost last year}& = \rm{Labor \;cost\; during\; current\; year}\times\\& \rm{Increase \;in \;labor \;cost \;during \;current \;year}\\&= \$32,584 \times9.4 \%\\&= \$ 3,063\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore, $3,063 is the in the direct labor cost as compared to the previous year. Thus, last year the labor cost was short by $3,063.

Prepare a schedule of budgeted cash payments for April, May, and June.

Answers

Answer:

See explanation section.

Explanation:

                                                    P2 Zisk Co.

                                      Budgeted cash payments

                                            For the 2nd quarter

                                                            April                   May                  June

Budgeted cash payments              $78,000            $101,000           $117,000

Total budgeted cash for the 2nd quarter = $296,000.

30% in the month after purchase means 30% amount will be given in the following month.

Final answer:

The student's question involves creating a schedule of budgeted cash payments for a company based on monthly purchases and specified payment terms. The company pays 70% of purchases in the same month and 30% in the following month, with an accounts payable balance carried from March.

Explanation:

The student's question involves preparing a schedule of budgeted cash payments for Zisk Co., which has planned purchases for the months of April, May, and June, with specific payment terms: 70% paid in the month of purchase and 30% paid in the following month. To begin with, we need to consider the existing accounts payable balance from March 31, which amounts to $22,000.

Here's how you can calculate the cash payments for each month:

April: Payments for April purchases (70% of $80,000) plus the carryover balance from March (30% of $22,000).

May: Payments for May purchases (70% of $110,000) plus the remaining amount from April's purchases (30% of $80,000).

June: Payments for June purchases (70% of $120,000) plus the remaining balance from May (30% of $110,000).

Using this approach, you can detail the cash outflows for Zisk Co. and accurately prepare the cash budget.

Total loss under passive activity = $37,760

a. Adjusted basis in the passive activity: $0

b. Loss suspended under the at-risk rules: $14,1600

Loss suspended under the at risk rules :Total loss under passive activity - At risk amount

=  $37,760 - 23,600  = $14,160

c. Suspended passive activity loss: $18880

Suspended loss at beginning of year +  loss suspended under the risk rules  = 4720 + 14160 = $18880

Merone Company allocates materials handling cost to the company's two products using the below data:

Modular Homes Prefab Barns
Total expected units produced 6500 9500
Total expected material moves 650 250
Expected direct labor-hours per unit 850 350
The total materials handling cost for the year is expected to be $265,500.

If the materials handling cost is allocated on the basis of direct labor-hours, the total materials handling cost allocated to the prefab barns is closest to: (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

Material handling cost allocated to Prefab Barns= $99,750

Explanation:

Activity-based costing is a form of absorption costing where overheads are charged to product using cost drivers.  

Under this method, overheads are first analyzed and categorized by the activities responsible for them and then charged to product based on the amount of benefits enjoyed using cost drivers.

Activity rate per driver is calculated as:

Activity overhead for the period / Total cost drivers for the period

Using direct labour hours, the material handling cost can allocated as follows:

Total direct labour hours

(850 ×6500) +(9500×350) =8850000

Material handing cost allocated to Prefab =

(9500×350)/8850000 × $265,500 =$99750

Material handling cost allocated to Prefab Barns= $99,750

Final answer:

The total materials handling cost allocated to the prefab barns, when based on direct labor-hours, is approximately $99,713.35.

Explanation:

To allocate the materials handling cost on the basis of direct labor-hours to the prefab barns, we must follow a series of steps:

Calculate the total direct labor-hours for each product.

Determine the proportion of total direct labor-hours attributable to prefab barns.

Allocate the materials handling cost based on that proportion.

For Modular Homes: 6500 units  imes 850 labor-hours = 5,525,000 labor-hours

For Prefab Barns: 9500 units  imes 350 labor-hours = 3,325,000 labor-hours

Total labor-hours = 5,525,000 + 3,325,000 = 8,850,000 labor-hours

The proportion for Prefab Barns = 3,325,000 / 8,850,000 = 0.3757 (rounded to four decimal places)

Total materials handling cost for Prefab Barns = 0.3757  imes $265,500 ≈ $99,713.35 (rounded to two decimal places)

b) carefully measure their exchange risk exposure.

c) both a) and b)

Answers

Answer:

C) Both a) and b)

Explanation:

Exchange rate risk is a type of risk which is now present in mostly the emerging or the developing countries. If a company is operating in an emerging economy and suddenly the local currency of that country depreciates than it can favor the company as the exports will now be more cheap than before and will give competitive advantage to that firm. The vice versa will happen when the currency appreciates.

Hence, it is now important for every company to carefully manage their exchange rate risk as well as measure the risk associated with that.

Suppose that a cafe enjoys a large increase in customers whenever the jazz club next door features a band playing appealing music because it can be easily heard from the cafe. The jazz club owner decides to purchase the cafe so that he can internalize this positive externality. Which of the following types of private solutions to the externality of appealing music has occurred in this case?
a. Contracts
b. Charities
c. Moral codes and social sanctions
d. Integration of different types of businesses through merger or acquisition

Answers

Answer:

D. Integration of different types of businesses through merger or acquisition

Explanation:

Externalities occur when the production or consumption of a particular good or service affects a third-party who is not related to the transaction. A positive externality is one that is favorable and beneficial to the third party and a negative externality is one that is unfavorable and creates a cost to the third party. In this case, the third party is the owner of the cafe and it is a positive externality because the music creates an increase in the number of customers to his/her business.

When the jazz club owner purchases/acquires the cafe, the cafe becomes his. Hence, the benefit felt to the cafe by the music from the jazz club is a benefit that his own new business incurs. Thus, the integration of these two businesses into one helps internalize the positive externality since now the main party involved in the transaction is also the one feeling the positive externality and not a third-party as used to be.

Final answer:

The jazz club owner has internalized the positive externality by purchasing the cafe, representing a private solution of integration through merger or acquisition.

Explanation:

In the scenario provided, the cafe experiences a positive externality from the jazz club's music, which leads to an increase in customers when appealing music is played. The jazz club owner decides to internalize this positive externality by purchasing the cafe, so that he can benefit directly from the increased customer flow that the music provides to the cafe. This type of private solution to the externality of appealing music is an example of integration of different types of businesses through merger or acquisition. This move ensures that the benefits associated with the music are fully captured by the jazz club owner, now owner of both establishments, and is a textbook example of a business solution to manage externalities.

Byrd Corporation is comparing two different capital structures, an all-equity plan (Plan I) and a levered plan (Plan II). Under Plan I, the company would have 155,000 shares of stock outstanding. Under Plan II, there would be 105,000 shares of stock outstanding and $1.33 million in debt outstanding. The interest rate on the debt is 6 percent and there are no taxes.


a. If EBIT is $200,000, what is the EPS for each plan?

b. If EBIT is $450,000, what is the EPS for each plan?

c. What is the break-even EBIT?

Answers

a. Plan I: $1.29, Plan II: $1.16

b. Plan I: $2.90, Plan II: $3.54

c. The break-even EBIT, with an interest rate of 6%, is approximately $221.27.

a. EPS Calculation for EBIT of $200,000:

**Plan I:**

[tex]\[ EPS = \frac{EBIT - Interest}{Number of Shares} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ EPS = \frac{200,000}{155,000} = $1.29 \][/tex]

**Plan II:**

[tex]\[ EPS = \frac{EBIT - (Interest \times (1 - Tax Rate))}{Number of Shares} \][/tex]

Since there are no taxes, the equation simplifies to [tex]\[ EPS = \frac{EBIT - Interest}{Number of Shares} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ EPS = \frac{200,000 - (1.3 million \times 0.06)}{105,000} = $1.16 \][/tex]

b. EPS Calculation for EBIT of $450,000:

**Plan I:**

[tex]\[ EPS = \frac{450,000}{155,000} = $2.90 \][/tex]

**Plan II:**

[tex]\[ EPS = \frac{450,000 - (1.3 million \times 0.06)}{105,000} = $3.54 \][/tex]

c. Break-even EBIT Calculation:

For break-even EBIT, the EPS for both plans are equal:

[tex]\[ \frac{EBIT - \text{Interest}}{155,000} = \frac{EBIT - (1.3 \, \text{million} \times 0.06)}{105,000} \][/tex]

To simplify, we can cross-multiply to eliminate the denominators:

[tex]\[ 105,000 \times (EBIT - \text{Interest}) = 155,000 \times (EBIT - 1.3 \, \text{million} \times 0.06) \][/tex]

Next, distribute and collect like terms:

[tex]\[ 105,000 \times EBIT - 105,000 \times \text{Interest} = 155,000 \times EBIT - 155,000 \times 1.3 \, \text{million} \times 0.06 \][/tex]

Now, isolate the terms involving EBIT:

[tex]\[ 105,000 \times EBIT - 155,000 \times EBIT = - 155,000 \times 1.3 \, \text{million} \times 0.06 + 105,000 \times \text{Interest} \][/tex]

Combine like terms:

[tex]\[ -50,000 \times EBIT = - 155,000 \times 1.3 \, \text{million} \times 0.06 + 105,000 \times \text{Interest} \][/tex]

Finally, solve for EBIT:

[tex]\[ EBIT = \frac{- 155,000 \times 1.3 \, \text{million} \times 0.06 + 105,000 \times \text{Interest}}{-50,000} \][/tex]

Now, plug in the given values:

[tex]\[ EBIT = \frac{- (155,000 \times 1,300,000 \times 0.06) + 105,000 \times \text{Interest}}{-50,000} \][/tex]

Calculate the terms:

[tex]\[ EBIT = \frac{- (11,070,000) + 105,000 \times \text{Interest}}{-50,000} \][/tex]

Now, express the equation without the fraction:

[tex]\[ -50,000 \times EBIT = -11,070,000 + 105,000 \times \text{Interest} \][/tex]

Isolate EBIT:

[tex]\[ EBIT = \frac{-11,070,000 + 105,000 \times \text{Interest}}{-50,000} \][/tex]

Substitute the given interest rate of 6% into the equation:

[tex]\[ EBIT = \frac{-11,070,000 + 105,000 \times 0.06}{-50,000} \][/tex]

Simplify the expression:

[tex]\[ EBIT = \frac{-11,070,000 + 6,300}{-50,000} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ EBIT = \frac{-11,063,700}{-50,000} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ EBIT = 221.274 \][/tex]

Therefore, the break-even EBIT, when the interest rate is 6%, is approximately $221.27.

When Crossett Corporation was organized in January 2018, it immediately issued 4,000 shares of $50 par, 6 percent, cumulative preferred stock and 50,000 shares of $20 par common stock. Its earnings history is as follows: 2018, net loss of $35,000; 2019, net income of $125,000; 2020, net income of $215,000. The corporation did not pay a dividend in 2018. Required How much is the dividend arrearage as of January 1, 2019

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is $12,000.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-

Issued Shares = 4,000

Shares Per Value = $50

Percentage of Cumulative Preferred Stock = 6%

We can calculate the Required Dividend Arrearage by using following formula:-

As Of January 1,2019 Arrearage Dividend = Issued Share × Value Of Per Share × % Of Cumulative Preferred Stock

By putting the value, we get

= 4000 × $50 × 6%

= $200,000 × 6/100

= $12,000

Destin Corp. is comparing two different capital structures. Plan I would result in 12,000 shares of stock and $120,000 in debt. Plan II would result in 11,500 shares of stock and $140,000 in debt. The interest rate on the debt is 6 percent. a. Ignoring taxes, compare both of these plans to an all-equity plan assuming that EBIT will be $70,000. The all-equity plan would result in 15,000 shares of stock outstanding. What is the EPS for each of these plans? (Round your answers to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))

Answers

Answer:

Plan 1= $40 per shares

Plan 2= $40 per shares

Explanation:

We can therefore calculate the price as the value of shares repurchased divided by the number of shares repurchased.

Hence:

Plan I, the value per share will be:

P = $120,000 / (15,000 – 12,000 shares)

P=$120,000/$3,000

P = $40 per share

Plan II, the value per share will be :

P = $140,000 / (15,000 – 11,500 shares)

P=$140,000/$3,500

P = $40 per share

Therefore the EPS for each of these plans is Plan l =$40 per shares and Plan ll=$40 per shares

Pamela is also a saver. She sets aside $200 per month during her 40 year career. She invests in the US stock market* through an index fund that averages a 7% return over this 40 year period. How much is her retirement account worth?

Answers

Answer:

$32,183.77

Explanation:

The value of her investment at the end of the 40th year will be equal to the accumulated sum pf the monthly payment compounded at the 7% rate of return.

This is given as follows:

FV = A × (1 -(1+r)^(-n))/r

 A- monthly payment, r- monthly interest rate, n- number of months

A- 200, r- 7%/12 =0.583%, n = 40 × 12 = 480

FV = 200× (1- (1.00583)^(-480))/0.00583

     =32,183.767

     = $32,183.77

   

Final answer:

Using the future value of a series formula, the estimated value of Pamela's retirement account after 40 years with a $200 monthly investment and a 7% return rate is approximately $1,068,481.

Explanation:

Pamela's investment can be calculated using the future value of a series formula. This formula is FV = P * [(1 + r)^nt - 1] / r, where:

P = $200 (the amount she sets aside per month) r = 7% or 0.07 annual rate (divided by 12 to get a monthly rate, or 0.07 / 12 = 0.005833), n = 12 (number of times the interest is compounded per year), t = 40 (number of years she is saving).

Substitute these values into the formula, it becomes: FV = $200 * [(1 + 0.005833)^(12*40) - 1] / 0.005833. After doing the math, the value of Pamela's retirement account is approximately $1,068,481.

he manager of the student center cafeteria, has added pizza to the menu. The pizza is ordered frozen from a local pizza establishment and baked at the cafeteria. She anticipates a weekly demand of 10 pizzas. The cafeteria is open 45 weeks per year. The ordering cost if $15 and the holding cost is $0.40 per pizza per year. The pizza vendor has a one week lead-time and the manager wants to maintain 1 pizza for safety stock. What is the optimal reorder point

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is 11 pizza.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows:

Weekly demand = 10 pizzas

Safety stock = 1 pizza

Let cafeteria works 5 days a week, then daily demands = 10 ÷ 5 = 2 pizza per day

Lead time = one week = 5 days working.

So, we can calculate the optimal reorder point by using following formula:

Optimal reorder point =  (Daily demand × Lead time) + Safety stock

By putting the value, we get

Optimal reorder point = ( 2 × 5) + 1

= 10 + 1

= 11 pizzas.

During 2021, its first year of operations, Hollis Industries recorded sales of $10,500,000 and experienced returns of $750,000. Cost of goods sold totaled $7,350,000 (70% of sales). The company estimates that 9% of all sales will be returned. Prepare the year-end adjusting journal entries to account for anticipated sales returns under the assumption that all sales are made for cash (no accounts receivable are outstanding).

Answers

Answer:

The adjusting entries are as follows

Explanation:

The adjusting entries are as follows

1. Sales return Dr $195,000

         To Refund liabilities $195,000

(Being the sales return is recorded)

It is computed below:

= $10,500,000 × 9% - $750,000

= $195,000

2. Inventory estimated returns Dr $136,500  

       To Cost of goods sold $136,500  

(Being the inventory estimated return is recorded)

It is computed below:

= $195,000 × 70%

= $136,500

Final answer:

To account for the anticipated sales returns, an adjusting journal entry is made. This involves debiting the Sales Returns and Allowances account and crediting the Sales Revenue account by the estimated return amount.

Explanation:

To account for the anticipated sales returns, we need to make an adjusting journal entry at the end of the year. Since the company estimates that 9% of sales will be returned, we need to calculate the estimated return amount. In this case, the estimated return amount is $10,500,000 * 9% = $945,000.

Now, let's make the adjusting journal entry. The first step is to debit the Sales Returns and Allowances account for the estimated return amount of $945,000. The offsetting credit entry is made to the Sales Revenue account, reducing it by the same amount. So, we credit the Sales Revenue account for $945,000.

The journal entry would be:

Debit: Sales Returns and Allowances - $945,000Credit: Sales Revenue - $945,000

Suppose the S&P 500 index is currently 950 and the initial margin is 10%. You wish to enter into 10 S&P 500 futures contracts. a. What is the notional value of your position? What is the margin? b. Suppose you earn a continuously compounded rate of 6% on your margin balance, your position is marked to market weekly, and the maintenance margin is 80% of the initial margin. What is the greatest S&P 500 index futures price 1 week from today at which you will receive a margin call?

Answers

Final answer:

The notional value of entering into 10 S&P 500 futures contracts with an index at 950 is $2,375,000, and the initial margin is $237,500. A margin call would occur if the futures price drops significantly in a week, considering a 6% continuously compounded interest rate on the margin balance and an 80% maintenance margin requirement.

Explanation:

The question involves calculating the notional value and initial margin for entering into S&P 500 futures contracts and determining the futures price at which a margin call would occur given certain conditions.

a. Notional Value and Initial Margin

The notional value of a futures contract is the value of the underlying asset represented by the contract. With the S&P 500 index currently at 950 and the intention to enter into 10 contracts, the notional value would be 950 (index value) * 10 (number of contracts) * $250 (standard contract size for S&P 500 futures), totaling $2,375,000. The initial margin, being 10% of this value, equates to $237,500.

b. Margin Call Price

With weekly mark-to-market and a maintenance margin set at 80% of the initial margin, the margin balance would need to be at least $190,000 (80% of $237,500). Assuming a continuously compounded interest rate of 6% on the margin balance, the account value would grow to approximately $240,113.29 in one week. To avoid a margin call, the futures price should not drop to a level where the equity in the account falls below the maintenance margin requirement, considering gains from interest.

What method did Gabrielle and Trent use to arrive at the marketing communications budget

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": competitive-parity method.

Explanation:

The competitive-parity method is the marketing approach in which companies simply adopt the same advertisement strategy its competitors incorporate in an attempt of reducing costs. No major research is conducted implementing this practice since entities limit themselves to follow the current marketing trend.  

Incorporating similar advertisement approaches in most cases takes companies to allocate for it the same amount of money than rivals.

  2                        $50,000                              ($40,000 )

  3                        $40,000                              $0

  4                        $30,000                             -$30,000

  5                        $20,000                             -$50,000

As this shows in year 3 the cumulative cash flow becomes 0.

Hence, the payback period is 3 years.

Explanation:

According to the sticky-wage theory, the economy is in a recession because the price level has declined so that real wages are too high, thus labor demand is too high.

Real wages decline as nominal wages are adjusted. As a result, the economy returns to full employment

According to the sticky-price theory, the economy is in a recession because not all prices adjust quickly.

As people observe the lower price level, the economy returns to the long-run aggregate supply curve.

According to the misperceptions theory, the economy is in a recession when the price level is below what was expected.

As people observe the lower price level, their expectations adjust.

b. $58.15
c. $62.87
d. $60.07
e. $54.91

Answers

Answer:

The price of the Stock today is $60.07. So option D is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The stock price of a company's stock whose dividends grow at two different growth rates can be calculated using the two stage Gordon growth model also known as the two stage DDM.

The short term growth rate or the growth rate that is for a limited time period is taken as g1. So, g1 is 15%

The sustainable growth rate which is the growth rate that will prevail forever is taken as g2. So, g2 is 10%

The price of the stock today is,

P0 = 1 * (1+0.15)  /  (1+0.12)   +   1 * (1+0.150^2  /  (1+0.12)^2   +  

[ (1 * (1+0.15)^2 * (1+0.1)  /  (0.12 - 0.1))  /  (1+0.12)^2 ]

P0 = $60.067 rounded off to $60.07

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": learner characteristics.

Explanation:

In psychology, there are three main learner's characteristics considered: personal characteristics (demographic information from the learners such as age, gender, language or social-economic status), academic characteristics (type of education and qualifications), and cognitive characteristics (level of intellectual skills and type of operational memory).

These characteristics must be considered by trainers at the moment of creating their programs since they must include a variety of learning approaches suitable for each type of learner in an attempt to ensure they will understand the information the trainer wants to transmit.

In the video, Mike Boyle says he has read that meeting with employees regularly is important to motivation. Although he and Bob hold weekly staff meetings with their employees, Mike believes they should meet more often. He knows that employee meetings should have a purpose, and he asks you for advice. To make sure meetings are motivational for employees, what should be discussed?

Answers

Answer:

A meeting should have a specific time limit. Within that time limit, only a several amount of topics should be discussed as more focused the topics will be, the more effective the meeting will be.

In these meetings, the employers must make a platform for the employees to present the challenges and difficulties they face over the course of their work. This way, many problems can be identified and solved effectively.

Moreover, employees grievances must be discussed as well.

Explanation:

Final answer:

Employee meetings should focus on performance appraisals, career development, and open feedback discussions to be motivational. Building a strong manager-employee relationship and translating meeting outcomes into actionable plans are also key for meeting effectiveness.

Explanation:

To ensure that employee meetings are motivational and effective, several key topics should be discussed. First, performance appraisals should be on the agenda, allowing for a structured evaluation of an employee's work performance, which may involve discussing job responsibilities and setting goals for future improvement. This process should be based on original job analysis and relevant objectives.

Another topic is career development, where employees' paths within the company are explored, including skills development and growth opportunities. This could be broken down into specific time frames for milestones and goals, as suggested in their first year on the job. Thirdly, meetings should include open feedback discussions where employees have the chance to communicate their perceptions of the work environment, express concerns, and provide suggestions for improvement in a confidential and trusting setting.

Furthermore, the aspect of the manager-employee relationship cannot be overstated. Managers can enhance this relationship by understanding and addressing what motivates and frustrates their employees, thus promoting a collaborative work atmosphere. Lastly, it is crucial for both parties to translate the outcomes of these meetings into actionable plans, with employees taking initiative to work on identified weaknesses and managers working eficiently to aid their team's development.
