Answer the following statements true (T) or false (F)
1.Biological job design focuses on designing jobs with tasks that remain within the worker’s normal mental capabilities and limitations. 2.In motivational job design, job simplification is the process of eliminating or combining tasks and/or changing the work sequence to improve performance. 3.In human resource forecasting, quantitative forecasting utilizes mathematics to forecast future events based on historical data. 4.In a labor surplus, some form of work-sharing is an option for lowering labor costs without terminating employees. 5.Job rotation is when an organization uses a software program that allows employees to “reserve” office space for particular parts of the workweek when they will need it.
a. ROA focuses on both statements because it is a ratio of net income (from the income statement) divided by total assets (from the balance sheet). b. EVA is not more comprehensive than ROA. They both contain exactly the same inputs (net income and total assets). EVA also contains the weighted average cost of capital explicitly in the formula. But to implement ROA, each division's ROA must be compared to its weighted average cost of capital (wacc). Just because two divisions have the same ROA does not mean they are performing the same if they have different wacc (because their risk factors differ). c. Disagree. EVA and ROA can be applied to each case once the appropriate wacc is set. Both metrics are short-run to the extent that accounting earnings measure last year's earnings; they do
not capture future growth opportunities. For example, R&D expenditures reduce current accounting earnings, but are expected to produce future growth. Both EVA and ROA create incentives for managers to cut R&D spending to boost current ROA and EVA. However, these incentives are reduced if R&D is treated as a capital asset and not deducted from earnings. This adjustment can be made to accounting earnings and assets for both ROA and EVA. Finally, providing long-run incentives can be accomplished by the choice of performance rewards such as stock, options, and deferred compensation.
