Do you find that Canada's Labor Relations Board is very tough? In a surprising case, which has largely gone unreported, I was ordered to pay members of the Performing Seals Association a lump sum of no less than $150,000. This is lump-sum back pay for wages the seals claimed was owed for five years of performing in my circus on Granville Island. They should have been paid monthly at 9% compounded quarterly. How much was the monthly wage I should have paid? (And is this justice??). No decimals.they can swim for any lost cents! They'll be asking to be fed fish next!

Heidt Cleaning Services (HCS) is a local custodial service company serving both the residential and commercial markets.

Twenty-five employees worked a total of 45,300 hours last year, 30,200 on commercial jobs and 15,100 on residential jobs. Wages were $20 per hour for all work done.

Carrie Overwood works fluctuating work schedules. Besides her fixed salary of $1,044 per week, her employment agreement provides for overtime pay at an extra half-rate for hours worked over 40. This week she worked 48 hours. Compute the following amounts. Round all divisions to two decimal places and use the rounded amounts in subsequent computations. Round your final answers to the nearest cent. a. The overtime earnings: $87.04 1044/48= 21.75 21.75 x 0.5= 10.88 8x 10.88= 87.04 b. The total earnings: $1,131.04 1044+ 87.04= 1,131.04 c.

In one year, the Arizona Diamondbacks (AD) signed many free agents, and the ball club had to pay a big amount of salaries. AD figured out its break-even point. AD had to have 40,000 fans for each home game just to break even. AD is franchised in Phoenix, Arizona, which is not a big market. Therefore, drawing 40,000 people to each game would be impossible. So AD lowered the break-even point by raising the ticket prices. Ironically, AD did that during a fan appreciation weekend. What a great way to appreciate fans! In that year, the attendance dropped by nearly 10%, and Ad’s income dropped by nearly 100%. Why is it that the profit declined so much, given just a 10% drop in attendance? (CVP Analysis)
Recently, the owner of a Trader Joe's franchise decided to change how she compensated her top manager. Last year, she paid him a fixed salary of $65,000, and her store made $120,000 in profits (not counting payment to her top manager). She suspected the store could do much better and feared the fixed salary was causing her top manager to shirk on the job. Therefore, this year she decided to offer him a fixed salary of $30,000 plus 15 percent of the store's profits. Since the change, the store is performing much better, and she forecasts profits this year to be $280,000 (again, not counting the payment to her top manager). Assuming the change in compensation is the reason for the increased profits, and that the forecast is accurate, (a) Which compensation method (the old one or the new one) will the manager prefer? Please explain why. (b) Which compensation method (the old one or the new one) would the owner of the franchise prefer? Please explain why. (c) If there was another…
Your company has won a one-year contract that was planned to start on January 1, 2016 and be completed by December 31, 2016. The work that was to be performed by the engineering department was estimated at 1000 hours per month for the duration of the twelve-month project using pay grade 7 employees (i.e., regular engineers). The customer informs you that they wish to start the project on July 1 rather than January 1, and they assume that there is no financial impact on the total cost of the project. According to company policy, in 2016 the project account would be charged at a rate of $51 per hour for grade 7 employees, plus an overhead rate of 150%. Also, a salary increase will take effect on January 1, 2017, so the hourly rate will be $54 in 2017 for the grade 7 employees. Moreover, it is expected that the overhead rate will be increased to 155% in 2017. Is there a financial impact on the total cost of the project, and if so, how much of an impact? The escalation reserve should be…
A University of Massachusetts study found that married women who work outside the home do about one hour less of housework per week for every $7500 they earn outside the home. Assume that they hire a housekeeper one time per week for $120; that the $7500 is received in uniform amounts of $625 per month; and, that the housekeeper is paid weekly with these payments made before the $625 is received. What rate of return are they making per week on their “investment” in the housekeeper?
The service department at Major Motors sold $48,000 in service last month. They had direct costs of $16,500 to pay their technicians.

What is the gross profit Major Motors earned last month?
