Joyce works hard and puts in many extra hours. For this, she can anticipate a pay raise, a promotion, or an expanded sales territory. However, getting a promotion is most important to Joyce. According to the useful guidelines of the ____ theory, Jim, her manager, must recognize that (1) she is putting in hard work and long hours to obtain a promotion, (2) what motivates Joyce will change over time, and (3) he must clearly show Joyce how to attain the desirable reward.

Answer:

Expectancy theory

Explanation:

Expectancy theory states that when an individual is faced with different choices they will be motivated in a certain way in choosing a particular option based on what they expect to be the result of the choice.

So behaviour is affected by perceived result or consequence of a particular choice.

In the given scenario Joyce works hard and puts in many extra hours, and getting a promotion is most important to Joyce.

So because of her expectations that manager must recognise that:

(1) she is putting in hard work and long hours to obtain a promotion,

(2) what motivates Joyce will change over time (if she does not get the promotion), and

(3) he must clearly show Joyce how to attain the desirable reward.

They intend on using this data to send speeding tickets to those who moved too far, too fast. Also, if an underage driver spends too long parked by an adult only establishment, police will be notified to investigate. If you are the research firm, would you supply the data?

(Identify Temporary Differences and Classification Criteria) The asset-liability approach for recording deferred income taxes is an integral part of generally accepted accounting principles.
Instructions
(a) Indicate whether each of the following independent situations should be treated as a temporary difference or as a permanent difference, and explain why.
(1) Estimated warranty costs (covering a 3-year warranty) are expensed for financial reporting purposes at the time of sale but deducted for income tax purposes when paid.
(2) Depreciation for book and income tax purposes differs because of different bases of carrying the related property, which was acquired in a trade-in. The different bases are a result of different rules used for book and tax purposes to compute the basis of property acquired in a trade-in.
(3) A company properly uses the equity method to account for its 30% investment in another company. The investee pays dividends that are about 10% of its annual earnings.
(4) A company reports a gain on an involuntary conversion of a nonmonetary asset to a monetary asset. The company elects to replace the property within the statutory period using the total proceeds so the gain is not reported on the current year’s tax return.
(b) Discuss the nature of the deferred income tax accounts and the manner in which these accounts are to be reported on the balance sheet.

1) Jason is a 14-year-old seventh grader who moved to Saint Cloud this summer from another state. He has recently been referred to the school psychologist because of concerns about both his academic performance and school behavior. A review of his school records shows that Jason repeated kindergarten and third grade. His elementary school grades were primarily S's ("Satisfactory") and N's ("Needs Improvement"). His current teachers state that they are unsure of Jason's academic skills because he typically does not turn in assignments and appears to "clown around" and not take exams and assignments seriously.
2) Brenda is a 5th-year undergraduate student. She began her post-secondary education as a nursing major at a private college, but decided she wanted to pursue a career in special education, so she transferred to a state university with a large education program. After a year, she discovered that special education was not for her, so she transferred back to the college where she had first enrolled and registered for courses in the psychology major sequence. She is now a liberal studies major and will graduate in May. Brenda has thought about applying to law schools, but recently decided she really didn't want a career in law. At this point she has no firm career plans. Rather, she had decided to work as a waitress for at least a year, and after that, who knows?
3) Carrie is a 36-year-old woman who is currently being seen for counseling at the community mental health center. Her second marriage recently ended in divorce, and she has sought counseling so that she might "find" herself and get her life "back on track." Carrie married for the first time at age 18, but she and her husband grew increasingly apart and found they had little in common, other than their two children! She remarried shortly after her first divorce as she felt "empty" being alone and thought both she and her children needed a man in the house, but that marriage also proved unsuccessful. She is now thinking of attending college, and is trying to figure out what to do "with the rest of her life."
