...payments.” As we explore the case study of Acme Manufacturing, we will see the salary inequities and the struggles that the newly appointed president, Joe Black, has to go through to fix those issues. In an article titled “Fair Pay or Power Play?” Shin (2013) reported that “pay inequity provides strong motivation for CEOs to restore equity.” For this case, I will identify some issues and recommend some plans to resolve the salary inequities in the Acme case. Some key issues that existed within Acme Manufacturing were: lack of individual equity, internal equity issues, no pay structure for salaried employees, and lack of legal considerations in compensation. Equal Pay Act of 1963 (EPA) “makes it illegal to pay different wages to men and women if they perform equal work in the same workplace.” (“Laws Enforced by EEOC,” n.d.). With the previous president, Bill George, salaried employees bargained their pay. Joe Black identified that there were female supervisors that were earning less than male supervisors. Ultimately the underlying issue was management failed to create a compensation plan that aligned with a reward strategy. According to Dessler (2013), “A compensation plan should first advance the company’s strategic aim.” Therefore, management should create an aligned reward strategy that consists of the compensation package. The package would then enclose “wages, incentives, and benefits that produce employee behavior the company needs to support and achieve its competitive...

...report to Acme Company management on the accounting and reporting standards of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and the impact that the FASB will have on Acme Company. This research covers the history and goals of the FASB, the requirements imposed by the FASB on public corporations, and the impact that the FASB has on the investment community and their satisfaction with the FASB standards. The FASB was formed in the early 1970s, when it became evident that there was a real need for a clear, concise, accurate, and uniform financial reporting system. The FASB standards are known as GAAP, or Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Adherence to these principles by publicly traded companies is required by and enforced by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). GAAP is based on consistency, reliability, relevance, and comparability which help to ensure that the reports provided to all investors and creditors contain credible and accurate information. The investment community relies heavily upon the SEC and the FASB to continually monitor financial reporting systems. As times change, reporting methods need to be updated accordingly, and one of the major roles of the FASB is to stay on top of these changes and implement these necessary updates in an expeditious manner. This diligent oversight helps to keep investor confidence high, allowing the investors to focus on making informed decisions, which allows more funding opportunities for public companies....

In the following pages I have explained the potential personal liability for injuries to consumers and what must be on our labels for safety. Analyzed the newly formed contracts with the retailers and the employment and expansion that are needed for Acme to go along with the new contracts, and then concluding with the change of the business entity.

If the large orders do not continue, the company will not have the funds to pay the new employees. Acme Fireworks should expand to a larger business entity because expanding to a larger business entity will allow the company to negotiate larger contracts with other companies, and the company will never reach its full potential until it has expanded to a larger business entity. Consumers are commonly the victims of mishandled fireworks. There are various ways that fireworks can be mishandled, such as: lighting fireworks improperly, lighting fireworks too close to others, or lighting the fireworks while still holding them. Fireworks can have dangerous affects, whether handled properly or improperly. Fireworks are also capable of being manufactured improperly. Acme Fireworks seeks desperately for consumers to avoid risk while handling fireworks. There are warnings and directions attached to every firework package that is available for purchase. Acme Fireworks requests that all consumers to read the warnings and precautions before use. Never allow children to use fireworks without adult supervision. Only use fireworks outdoors, away from houses and fire hazards. Never try to reignite used or malfunctioning fireworks. Always keep a bucket of water nearby for...
