...Employee Absenteeism Kmart Corporation Alvin Williams Professor Whatley LG415 Quality Control Park University INTRODUCTION The purpose of this research paper is to identify employee absenteeism and explain the process of how Kmart was able to successfully merge with Sears effectively without completely diminishing employee morale and loyalty. Let us first begin by going into detail to primarily explain what employee absenteeism is. In the workforce it is described as a failure to appear for work in a routine period of time. It also means the number of occurrences of missed work without valid reasoning. Picture the scenario that you are shopping in Kmart and you have finally completed your shopping to proceed to check out. The time just so happens to be three o’clock, which are the shift change hours for cashiers. There are three customers ahead of you and only two lanes open. You notice that there is a delay in check out times. You finally get to the counter to pay and over hear the cashier complaining that she will have to stay another two hours because her replacement has called out sick once again, without proper notice. At this point the cashier becomes a little irritated in her responses and appears to be in no way interested in pleasing the customer. What happened to the employee that was smiling just three customers before you? I can easily explain. The motivation the...

...the financial period to end in December 31. Failure to change legal entity is not advantageous to the buyer because he is limited to adhering to the current tax basis on Smithon's assets even if he had paid more for the assets. Issuing debt in Johnson Services Company to pay for the Smithon Company would raise debt equity ratio issues. Issuing debt would increase the amount of liabilities owed by the organization to compound the fact that it is already operating at a loss. Issuing debt would result in ratio that is over or close to unity indicating that the company's assets are being financed by debt. High debt equity ratio indicates that the organization is risky and is financially weak. b) Should Mr. Jones convert Smithon to an S corporation and change the fiscal year Mr....

Advantages: Limited liability, liquidity, infinite life Disadvantages: Double taxation, separation of ownership and control 1-5. Explain the difference between an S corporation and a C corporation. C corporations must pay corporate income taxes; S corporations do not pay corporate taxes, but must pass through the income to shareholders to whom it is taxable. S corporations are also limited to 75 shareholders and cannot have corporate or foreign stockholders. 1-6. You are a shareholder in a C corporation. The corporation earns $2 per share before taxes. Once it has paid taxes it will distribute the rest of its earnings to you as a dividend. The corporate tax rate is 40% and the personal tax rate on (both dividend and non-dividend) income is 30%. How much is left for you after all taxes are paid? First, the corporation pays the taxes. After taxes, $2×(1− 0.4) = $1.20 is left to pay dividends. Once the dividend is paid, personal tax must be paid, which leaves $1.20× (1− 0.3) = $0.84 . So, after...

...Sea Story - Analytical essay The short story, ”Sea Story”, is written in 2012 by Dame Antonia Susan Duffy, better knows as A.S. Byatt. A.S. Byatt is an English writer, who mostly writes novels and poems. She has won several prizes for her work, and was on the top 50 list of the greatest British writers since 1945. She is now 79 years old and lives in Sheffield, England. In the short story, “Sea Story”, the main character is called Harold. Harold is a poet who studies eels in the Caribbean. The story is roughly about him trying to win the love of his life, Laura. Harold has always lived close to the seas and was also born near it. His parents loved the seas and everything about it, so that is why Harold loves the sea so much. His grandfather also loved the sea, so that is where Harold’s father got his love for the sea from. Harold’s mother “wrote fierce little poems about waves and weather” (P. 1, L. 7-8). Laura, who is another character in the story, chose life on the sea. Harold chose life on land studying English, because of his mother’s interest in English literature. Both of them carries the sea in their heart, but in two different ways. That is the difference between them Laura and Harold. Harold has a big love for Laura. He sends letters and e-mails to her trying to get in touch with her, but with no luck. After trying these ways, he tries to get in touch with her by throwing a bottle in the ocean, containing one of his letters. This almost succeed as...

If so, what skills would your partners need to have? I would have to find more than one partner. With the rapid communication of the internet I think it would be possible to run the operation from a single country but to help with the streaming we would have to have server sites around the globe to help with the data flow as well as have a human representative familiar with the countries business practices be able to answer and respond to questions or problems quickly. 4. What form of business ownership would you choose-sole proprietorship, partnership, C corporation, S corporation, or LLC? Why? I think I would choose a C corporation to help the company grow and expand. This would also allow for new shareholders and stockholders to come into the company and raise more capital. This would also allow for future...

...Dear Board of Directors; When contemplating whether to elect to become a “Subchapter S” or not, you must consider the benefits as well as the potential problems that might arise according to the Internal Revenue Code. The Code allows certain corporations to elect not to be taxed. This is an important exception to the fundamental rule that income of a C corporation is taxed twice, first the income is taxed to the corporation when earned and then to the stockholders when paid out to them as dividends. Subchapter S, S corporation, or limited liability in corporations (among other terms), are treated as conduits for tax purposes. The tax liability is passed through to their shareholders. Although S corporations are not subject to income taxes § 6037 requires the electing corporation to file an annual information return because the corporation is still a “taxpayer” by virtue of §7701(a)(14). Where the magnitude of the...

...How children should be raised Our upbringing has a critical importance for us. It makes us who we are and has a great influence on our way of living. Today, most parents try to raise their children to become as perfect as can be. Kids are forced into education and have become victims of insecurity because of the major pressure the civilization puts on their shoulders. These methods of raising children have caused great debate. 1. In text 1, Sophia Chua-Rubenfeld tells about how it was being raised by her mother Amy Chua. Her Chinese mother has recently received a lot of critic on her new book, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother, which is described as “how Chinese parents raise such stereotypically successful kids” (p. 2, l. 4). Though most people have criticized her mother’s raising technique, Sophia Chua thanks her mother for pushing her to do that extra limit. She says her mother’s “tough love” parenting methods actually has raised her to be an independent thinker who has lived her whole life at 110 percent. Mother and writer Amy Chua has surely used strict parenting, not letting her kids attend to a sleepover or even having a playdate, making her playing violin and piano in her sparetime. Sophia Chua uses an example of how her mother and dad pushed her to learn something new in a school-assignment by not letting her interview her grandparents, which would have been the easy way out, but instead pushing her to interview a terrifying Israeli paratrooper. All in all, Amy Chua used...

...Breach of Duty Orm Jenkins Jr Grantham University In 1993, Dweck and Nasser (Chairman and controlling shareholder of Kids) and others purchased the assets of EJ Gitano. As part of the transaction, Kids was formed and designated for tax purposes as a Subchapter S Corporation so Kids' profits would be attributed pro rata to Kids stockholders (originally only Nasser). In 1994, Taxin joined Kids as Vice President of Sales and Merchandising, and Kids' sales subsequently increased by a factor of five over a four-year period. Around 1998, Dweck was issued 45% of Kids' outstanding equity. However, Dweck believed she was not being adequately compensated and so in October 2001, she formed Success Apparel LLC ("Success"), to operate as a wholesaler of children's clothing. From 2001 until 2005, Success operated out of Kids' premises using Kids' employees. Success drew on Kids' letters of credit, sold products under Kids' vendor agreements, used Kids' vendor numbers, and capitalized on Kids' relationships. Then in June 2004, Dweck founded Premium Apparel Brands LLC ("Premium"), a clothing wholesaler, which also operated out of Kids' premises, and used Kids' employees and resources. Dweck owned 100% of Premium and served as its CEO. Between 2002 and 2005, Dweck charged almost $500K in expenses to Kids and at least $172K were personal expenses, including vacations and assorted luxury goods. In March...
