RETIREMENT BENEFITS

Your client, Steven, age 43, has come to you for assistance with retirement planning. He provides you with the following facts.

• He earns $80,000 annually.
• His wage replacement ratio has been determined to be 80%.
• He expects inflation will average 3% for his entire life expectancy.
• He expects to work until 68, and live until 90.
• He currently has $60,000 saved, and he is averaging a 9% rate of return and expects to continue to earn the same return over time.
• He has been saving $3,000 annually in his 401(k) plan.
• Additionally, Social Security Administration has notified him that his annual retirement benefit, in today’s dollars will be $26,000.

1. Using calculations, explain to Steven why it is realistic to use a wage replacement ratio of 80%.
2. Using the annuity method, calculate how much capital Steven will need to be able to retire at age 68.
3. Given his current resources, does he have sufficient resources to achieve his retirement goal? Using calculations, show and explain your answer to Steven.
4. Provide Steven with 3 alternatives for meeting his retirement goal. In doing so, use calculations to show the impact of each alternative.

Before hiring you as his financial planner, Steven was going to another planner. He mentions that the other planner calculated this retirement needs another way, so he asks you to calculate his retirement needs using other methods.

5. Using the capital preservation method, calculate how much capital Steven needs in order to retire at 68.
6. Using the purchasing power preservation method, calculate how much capital Steven needs in order to retire at 68.
7. In your own words, provide Steven with the advantages and disadvantages of each method and explain why the amounts calculated are different with the three methods.
8. In your own words, provide Steven with the advantages and disadvantages of 2 investment instruments that are used specifically to save for retirement. Which would you recommend and why?

CASE 8.4

Have Gun, Will Travel … to Work

ORGANIZATIONAL THEORISTS AND EMPLOYEE advocates frequently emphasize the importance, from both a moral and a practical point of view, of companies’ respecting the rights of their employees. Many employees spend long hours at work and remain tethered to the job by phone or computer even when they are off-site; not just their careers but also their friendships, social identity, and emotional lives are tied up with their work. All the more reason, it seems, that companies should recognize and respect their moral, political, and legal rights. But enshrined in our Constitution is one right that frequently gets overlooked in discussions of the workplace: the right to bear arms.⁸⁸

In 2002 Weyerhaeuser, the Seattle-based timber-products company, fired several employees at an Oklahoma plant who were discovered to have violated company policy by keeping guns in their vehicles. Their dismissal provoked a response from the National Rifle Association (NRA) and other gun-rights advocates, which since then have been lobbying for legislation that would make it illegal for companies to bar employees from leaving guns in their cars in company parking lots. Although no state requires companies to allow workers to carry weapons into the workplace, four states have passed laws guaranteeing them the right to keep guns in their cars, and several other states are weighing whether to follow suit. Gun advocates argue that licensed gun owners should have access to their weapons in case they need them on the trek to and from work. If an employer can ban guns from workers’ cars, “it would be a wrecking ball to the Second Amendment” of the U.S. Constitution, says Wayne LaPierre, executive vice president of the NRA.

Brian Siebel, a senior attorney at the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, thinks otherwise. He sees these laws as “a systematic attempt to force guns into every nook and cranny in society and prohibit anyone, whether it’s private employers or college campuses … from barring guns from their premises.” But that’s not how UCLA law professor Eugene Volokh looks at it. “It’s part of the general movement,” he says, “to allow people to have guns for self-defense not only at home, but in public places where they’re most likely needed.” For his part, LaPierre of the NRA contends that the legal right of people to have guns for personal protection is largely nullified if employers can ban guns from the parking lot. “Saying you can protect yourself with a firearm when you get off work late at night,” he argues, “is meaningless if you can’t keep it in the trunk of your car when you’re at work.”

Interpreting the somewhat ambiguous language of the Second Amendment is not easy. It only says, “A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” All jurists agree, however, that the Second Amendment does not make all forms of gun control unconstitutional and that, like the rest of the Bill of Rights, it places restrictions only on what government, not private parties, may do.

In particular, the Second Amendment does not give gun owners a constitutionally protected right to carry their weapons onto somebody else’s private property against the wishes of the owner. “If I said to somebody, ‘You can’t bring your gun into my house,’ that person’s rights would not be violated,” explains Mark Tushnet, a Harvard law professor. For this reason, the American Bar Association sides with business owners and endorses “the traditional property rights of private employers and other private property owners to exclude” people with firearms. Steve Halverson, president of a Jacksonville, Florida, construction company agrees that business owners should be allowed to decide whether to allow weapons in their parking lots. “The larger issue is property rights,” he says, “and whether you as a homeowner and I as a business owner ought to have the right to say what comes onto our property.” However, Tennessee state senator Paul Stanley, a Republican sponsor of legislation requiring that guns be allowed in company parking lots, begs to differ. “I respect property and business rights,” he says. “But I also think that some issues need to overshadow this…. We have a right to keep and bear arms.” Other gun advocates think that the property-rights argument is a red herring. Corporations are not individuals, they argue, but artificial legal entities, whose “rights” are entirely at the discretion of the state. What’s really going on, they think, is that some companies have an anti-gun political agenda.

Property rights, however, aren’t the only thing that companies are concerned about. Business and other organizations have a widely acknowledged duty to keep their workplaces—and their employees—as safe as possible, and that means, many of them believe, keeping their campuses free of weapons. There are more than five hundred workplace homicides per year; in addition, 1.5 million employees are assaulted at work, many of them by coworkers or former employees. Having guns anywhere in the vicinity, many employers worry, can only make volatile situations more deadly. “There’s no need to allow guns [into] parking lots,” says the Brady Center’s Siebel. “The increased risks are obvious.” Steve Halveson drives that point home, too. “I object to anyone telling me that we can’t … take steps necessary to protect our employees.” For him it’s no different from banning guns from his construction sites or requiring workers to wear hard hats. “The context is worker safety, and that’s why it’s important.”

1.Do you have not only a legal, but a moral right to own a gun? Do you believe that you have either a moral or a legal right to park a car with a loaded gun in a privately owned parking lot, regardless of what the lot’s owner wants

 

2.In your view, do employees have either a moral or a legal right to park cars with guns in them in the company parking lot? What do you believe should be the property rights and safety concerns of employers?

 

3.Do you think state legislatures are right to get involved, or should the matter be left to companies and employees to settle?

 

4.Because the workplace is the company’s private property, the company could choose to allow employees to bring guns not only into the parking lot, but also into the workplace itself. Are there ever circumstances in which doing so might be reasonable? Or would the presence of guns automatically violate the rights of other employees to be guaranteed a safe working environment?

Week 5 Case Study

 

Interviewer’s Mistakes

Maureen Lovelace is a nurse manager of the Transitional Care Unit at a large metropolitan area hospital.One of her Registered Nurses retired and a replacement was needed. The position was posted on Indeed.com and Xante Clarke, a Registered Nurse at another hospital, responded to the posting.Maureen Lovelace reviewed Xante’s resume and based on her educational background and experience determined she would be a great candidate for the position.The interview was setup and Xante arrived on time, appropriately dressed, and carried a copy of her resume, a pen, note pad, and her RN license with her.

Maureen forgot she had setup the interview and was in a meeting at the time for the interview. Xante was asked Xante to wait for an hour until she was finished with her meeting.Maureen rushed from her meeting to the conference room where Xante was patiently waiting, took off her white coat to reveal a very low cut blouse which had coffee stains in the front.Maureen introduced herself, asked Xante what her name was, asked her to pronounce it again, thanked Xante for coming for the meeting and started with the interview questions.

Resources regarding the next steps and onboarding process shortly.

Respond to the following regarding the case:

1.Give a short summary of what this case is about

2.Identify some things Maureen did wrong, and the possible implications

3.Discuss what you would have done differently

4.Provide some guidelines every interviewer (the person who is doing the interview) should follow when conducting interviews

 

 

 

Multiple Regression – Using Two or More Independent Variables

 

Using your selected Business Research Project or a company/industry of your interest:

• Define a key performance indicator (for example, annual unit sales) that would serve as the dependent variable that you would like to predict. Give this variable a name that is eight characters or less in length, as you would use it in a statistical software package.
• Define two or more independent variables (also known as explanatory variables) that you believe would have predictive power to use in a multiple regression model to predict the value of the dependent variable. Give these variables names that are eight characters or less in length, as you would use it in a statistical software package.
• For each independent variable, (a) define what type of variable it is (quantitative or qualitative) and (b) how it would be measured.  Remember, any qualitative variable should be dichotomous (meaning the attribute is either present or it is not) and you should indicate the anchor descriptions for the 0 or 1 values).
• Describe any potential challenges you think could be present in the design of your model.
• Please comment on the models presented by other learners to identify strengths and potential challenges of their designs.

 

 

 

What are some ways we can determine if adding a specific independent variable is improving the predictive power of our multiple regression model? How do we know if the independent variables we are using provide sufficient explanatory power?
