StopNShopToday, Inc. has had difficulty motivating and retaining key cashiers and wants to provide an incentive to them that will generate improvement in several critical areas of store cashier performance, which include the following:

  • Increasing total sales revenue
  • Reducing inventory losses and theft
  • Improving overall customer service and satisfaction
  • Improving store cleanliness and housekeeping
  • Improving attendance and reducing unscheduled absences

Several stores have poor overall sales volume and ongoing chaos because of the staff taking unscheduled absences. Others have issues with inventory and theft. All the stores want to address cleanliness and customer satisfaction problems.

Overall, officials with the company feel they can commit no more than an additional $200 per employee per year as an individual incentive and no more than $500 per year for the same store or corporate incentives.

  • You will select one of the critical areas of store cashier performance improvement (listed above), and recommend three components to be included in an individual incentive program for the cashiers. Use information from the Internet research you have done to aid in your understanding of cashiers’ tasks and work values. Tie your ideas to a contemporary motivational theory.
  • Discuss how you might incorporate the ideas you have generated regarding individual incentives.
  • Next, discuss store- or corporation-wide incentives.
  • Generate a recommendation for 2 possible avenues of same-store incentives and 2 possible avenues for corporation-wide incentives.
  • Present these recommendations in the form of a recommendation to Morry and Mo Gassup, owners of StopNShopToday Inc.

Communicating in a Diverse Society

Who you are and what has influenced your development influences every communication that you take part in on a daily basis.

 

Start thinking about culture by thinking first about your own cultural background. Some of you may fall into categories that are clearly marked as ethnic by the larger culture. Whatever your cultural background, this is a chance to explore it a little bit. In this Assignment, you will consider your ethnic, religious, socioeconomic, and educational background. For Assignment purposes, you will break down each of these four categories into three sections: statement, practices, and expectations. You shall look at ethnicity as an example of how to set up the four sections. Each section must include a statement, practices, and expectations.

▶ Requirements

1. Show how each relevant item would be reported on the Braintree Foods, Inc., classified balance sheet, including headings and totals for current liabilities and long-term liabilities.

2.    Answer the following questions about Braintree’s financial position at December 31, 2012:

a.    What is the carrying amount of the bonds payable (combine the current and long-term

amounts)?

b.   Why is the interest-payable amount so much less than the amount of interest expense?

3.    How many times did Braintree cover its interest expense during 2012?

4.    Assume that all of the existing liabilities are included in the information provided. Calculate the leverage ratio and debt ratio of the company. Evaluate the health of the company from a leverage point of view. What other information would be helpful in making your evaluation?

5. Independent of your answer to (4), assume that Footnote 8 of the financial statements includes commitments for operating leases over the next 15 years in the amount of

$3,000,000. If the company had to capitalize these leases in 2012, how would it change the leverage ratio and the debt ratio? How would this change impact your assessment of the company’s health from a leverage point of view?

Discussion Board Instructions

The learning theories, upon which this course is based, are actualized in the Discussion Board Forums. At the beginning of each module/week, you will choose a key term to research. You will be required to write a thread of at least 400 words on the topic, complete with page references and specifics to document the response, and post it to the corresponding Discussion Board Forum. Correct use of English and grammar are required.

  1. Conduct an Internet search to find and read 3 recent articles that relate to the term.
  2. Select the 1 article that you wish to discuss.
  3. Post a new thread that contains the following information in the following format, using the headers so that you ensure that all aspects of the assignment are completed as required. Failure to follow these instructions will result in a 1-point deduction.
    1. Definition: Give a brief definition of the key term followed by the APA reference for the term; this does not count in the 400-word requirement.
    2. Summary: Give a brief summary of the selected article, in your own words.
    3. Discussion:

                                                    i.     Give a brief discussion of how the article relates to the selected chapter key term. This gives you the opportunity to add value to the discussion by sharing your experiences, thoughts, and opinions. Draw your peers into discussion of topics by asking questions. This is the most important part of the posting!

Reflect on how psychological principles can help you learn and remember. Compare a theory to a hypothesis and explain the role each plays in the advancement of psychological research. What do split-brains reveal about the functions of our two brain hemispheres? In your own words, briefly explain the function of the amygdala. Describe how your life could be affected if your amygdala was damaged.

Free Fall

Free fall is when gravity is the only force on an object. In the real world falling objects also have air resistance (a type of friction) on them, but this force is so small that it can often be ignored. 

 

 g = acceleration due to gravity on Earth = 9.8 m/s
2

 

This value can be used in place of a in our force and acceleration equations. If there was no such thing as air resistance, all falling objects would strike the ground at the exact same time. Even a feather and hammer as astronauts tested on the moon in the video below.

 

 

 

Weight Vs. Mass

In our everyday language these words are often used to mean the same thing, however their real meanings are different. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and never changes. The SI unit for mass is kg. Weight is the force on a object due to gravity. The SI unit for weight is newtons because it is a force. Weight can be calculated using the following equation:

Weight = m * g

This is just a variation of Newton’s second law using a specific force and a specific acceleration. Weight changes depending on the gravitational force. This is different on each planet due to their differences in mass.

Apparent Weightlessness

Since there is no where on Earth where we can escape Earth’s gravitational pull, we know that even when we feel weightless, like on a big drop on a roller coaster, we do still have weight. Apparent weightlessness occurs when your body is falling downwards at 9.8 m/s
