Assume you are the manager of a company who is looking for just the right person to fill a unique new position. You need to write a very targeted and effective ad that will grab attention and create interest in potential candidates. You can decide what the company does and what position is needed. Using principles of motivation from the article on Southwest Airlines, the interview with Greg McEvilly, and the theories discussed in Chapter 8 of Introduction to Industrial and Organizational Psychology, write an advertisement for a job that would spark interest in people who are creative, dependable, and innovative.

Company X's total outstanding shares are 1000 shares, with 400 shareholders A, 300 B, 150 C, 100 D and 50 E, respectively.
C held a shareholders' meeting to appoint directors, and the agenda was presented as candidates for directors by F,G,H and B, professional managers recommended by A.

1. Is it possible for B to exercise its voting rights on the agenda of the shareholders'meeting for the appointment of this director?

At the shareholders' meeting, B,F,G and H were all appointed directors, while B and F were registered as co-chairmen of the company.

2. Explain how this sales contract works if B signed a contract with a customer and sold the product alone because F went on a family trip and could not be reached.

Since then, B has resigned as CEO and F has become the sole CEO. X Corp. recently decided to sell its holdings for 500 million won due to financial pressure, which CEO F wants to buy.

3. If A,B,C and D agree in writing to a land purchase transaction of F in connection with this transaction, will F acquire land from X in effect?

Prior to the transaction of this land, X held a board meeting, and the minutes indicated that B and G agreed, but no indication of H's intention was made.

4. If the market price of the land is found to be well over 1 billion won, explain later whether the company can get the difference back and from whom.

President Trump has criticized Amazon on many instances for causing the United States Postal Service to lose billions of dollars every year. Below is a recent quote from the president,

“Amazon and other companies like it, they come and they drop all of their mail into a post office,” Trump said in an interview with ‘Fox & Friends.’ “They drop packages into the post office by the thousands and then they say, ‘Here, you deliver them.’ We lose $3 and $4 a package on average. We lose massive amounts of money.”(CNBC, 2020)

From other sites I have gathered the following information. The USPS states

Total operating revenue for USPS in 2019 was roughly $71 billion, $3.9 billion came was received from Amazon alone. The total costs in 2019 were roughly 80 billion .The net reported loss was $8.8 billion (USPS, 2020)¹. Fixed costs for USPS have been over 40 percent of total costs in the past, and possibly increasing significantly due to increasing payments to retirees. Whether or not you agree with the statement by Trump, based on what we have learned about costs in class answer the following questions in your video:

1. Are the USPS’s losses increased or decreased by delivering packages for Amazon?
2. Amazon has discussed building its own airport and internalizing the delivery of its packaging. Explain whether or not this would benefit the USPS and why.

Analyzing Accounts and Notes Receivable; Computing Interest, Estimating Value, and Recording Bad Debts

Analyze each of the four separate scenarios and answer the requirements.

Note: Round each of your answers to the nearest whole dollar.

1. On December 31, 2020, Helena Company, a California real estate firm, received two $28,000 notes from customers in exchange for services rendered. The 8% note from El Dorado Company is due in nine months, and the 3% note from Newcastle Company is due in five years. The market interest rate for similar notes on December 31, 2020, was 8%. At what amounts should the two notes be reported in Helena’s December 31, 2020, balance sheet?

2. EPPA, an environmental management firm, issued to Dara, a $14,000, 8%, five-year installment note that required five equal annual year-end payments. This note was discounted to yield a 9% rate to Dara. What is the total amount of interest revenue to be recognized by Dara on this note?

3. On July 1, 2020, Lezix Company, a maker of denim clothing, sold goods in exchange for a $140,000, one-year, noninterest-bearing note. At the time of the sale, the market rate of interest was 12% on similar notes. At what amount should Lezix record the note receivable on July 1, 2020?

4. The records of Quest Company included the following accounts (with normal balances).

The company estimates bad debts as 2% of receivables at year-end to be uncollectible.

Prepare the adjusting entry at December 31, 2020, to adjust the allowance for doubtful accounts.

Strategy Exercise: Read the following vignette and develop some suggestions for the company based on the material you read in this chapter.

Twisted is a small company with big dreams. The shopping mall-oriented hot pretzel company has successfully grown its revenues by a rate of 10 percent annually over the last 10 years. Twisted wants to sustain its growth rate in the years ahead. The company has traditionally hired new store managers from outside of the company. However, in the last few years, it has had a difficult time recruiting enough of these people. The CEO feels that there are probably a large number of employees who might make good managers. However, the company has no good internal assessment systems in place to identify them. The CEO asks your group to help the firm identify internal managerial talent so it can continue to pursue its growth strategy. What methods would you suggest for doing so?

ZigZag provided an extract of the asset register as at the end of the current and prior financial year:
ASSETS CARRYING AMOUNTS

Office buildings (2) 1 900 000 1 370 000
Industrial buildings (3) 3 333 333 3 666 667
Machinery (4) 1 800 000 2 700 000
Additional information:
1. Land is vacant land and it is classified as investment property. The land was acquired on
1 April 2019 at R2 800 000. The fair value adjustments have been accounted for at the end of
the respective financial years.
2. The office building was acquired on 1 July 2019 for R1 400 000 and was revalued for the first
time on 31 December 2020 to its fair value of R1 900 000. The office buildings are depreciated
on the straight line basis over 20 years to its residual value of R200 000. During 2019,
management expected to use the asset up to the end of its economic life.
On 1 January 2020, management estimated the remaining useful life of the building to have
changed to 10 years and the residual value to be R500 000.
In December 2020 the management changed the intention and decided they were going to sell
the office building.
Office buildings have no capital allowances available.
3. Industrial buildings are depreciated over 12 years on the straight line basis. In terms of the
Income tax act, a section 13 allowance of 5% applies to the industrial buildings. The buildings
were bought on 1 January 2019, with the intention to keep the building, for an amount of
R4 000 000 paid in cash immediately with its residual value regarded as being insignificant.
4. Machinery is depreciated on a straight line basis at 20% per year to Rnil residual value. The
SARS allows a section 12C allowance of 40%/20%/20%/20% on machinery. The machinery had
a tax base of R1 800 000 on 31 December 2019 and R900 000 on 31 December 2020. No
additional machinery was acquired during FY2020.
5. ZigZag always pays their insurance in advance. At the end of FY2020 the balance for insurance
paid in advance amounted to R35 000 (2019: R25 000).
6. On 1 December 2020, Zamdela, a loyal customer, ordered transportation equipment from
ZigZag which will be delivered to him during December 2021. ZigZag received R500 000 from
Zamdela in cash when the order was placed.
7. The accounting profit before tax, which included dividends received of R40 000, amounted to
R3 200 000 for the year ended 31 December 2020. All above mentioned movements were taken
into account in arriving at this accounting profit.
8. The deferred tax asset balance as at 31 December 2019 was R390 150 due to an assessed
loss of R2 200 000 that existed at that time. ZigZag expected to make sufficient taxable profits
during 2020 and onwards to fully utilize assessed losses and other deductible temporary
differences.
