Answer:
1) B) I'll be sharing some special sales tips with you tomorrow that will make your job easier.
2) B) Your goal for this month is to sell 10% more lattes, and you will receive a reward if you reach it.
3) C) Two days off with pay
Explanation:
1) The <em>E->P expectancy</em> is related to the concept of investing effort into something that you know will lead to the desired performance. It is the part of the expectancy theory that is not related to rewards.
In this example. the goal (task) is to increase sales. The E->P expectancy is the probability that Ethan's efforts will result in the desired performance (increased sales). By giving sales tips to Ethan, he will get more self-esteem and know-how and believe that his effort will in fact result in the desired outcome.
Although this is an overlooked part of the expectancy theory sometimes, it is crucial. Despite the appeal of a particular reward, an employee may not get increased motivation if he/she thinks that the task itself cannot be completed.
2) The <em>P->O expectancy</em> is related to rewards, and it states that employees will get motivated if the desired performance will result in a reward. In this case, Emma's putting the goal (10% increased sales) in direct relation with a reward.
3) Since the Motivation Report states that Ethan is motivated by time off, two days off with pay is the most appealing reward for him. The money bonus is more appropriate for Jon, while a choice of work assignments is better for Blair.

Answer:
The value of the option to wait is $0.70,option A.
Explanation:
In calculating the value of the option to wait,I discounted all cash flows under both alternatives, using the discount rate of 12% as given in the question.
Option to start now gives net present value(positive return ) of $360.64 while the other one gives $361.34,invariably option to wait one year gives $0.70($361.34-$360.64) more than the option to start now.
The formula used in the calculating present value is PV=FV(1+r)^n
Where PV=present value
FV=future value
r=rate of interest
n=number of year

Answer:
Efficiency of the repair shop is 66.67%
Explanation:
Efficiency is the ability to avoid the available resources such as workforce, time, money, material etc. The maximum output in the available resources is efficiency.
Total Capacity of repair fleet = 800 trucks
Effective Capacity of repair fleet = 600 trucks
Actual Output = 400 trucks
Trucks Utilization = Actual Output / Total Capacity = (400 / 800) x 100 = 50%
Efficiency = Actual output / Effective Capacity = (400 / 600) x 100 = 66.7%
