The chairman of the Executive Compensation Committee is Howard Bigger, Sam Bigger’s son. Having family connections, Howard is considered an insider and shouldn’t be allowed on the committee. Betty Moneymaker should not be on the committee either. She is also an insider because she represents the company’s investment banker. The Governance and Nominations Committee normally sets the fees for the directors and the salary of the non-employee chairman. Since Sam Bigger was also the chair of the…

Easterbrook’s compensation is at risk, being based on performance. In 2014, 93% of shareholders supported the approach for executive compensation. In the appendix, a pie chart provides the detail of CEO compensation. The five sections are salary, STIP (operating income growth), LTIP (return on incremental invested capital), options (share price), and RSUs (earning per share). We believe the risk-reward basis of the compensation structure is appropriate. With 90% of Easterbrook’s compensation…

When you compare executive compensation to household income, you noticed executive pay is not tied to performance, the average executive pay keep going up with no penalize from the board. “In the United States, the pay of CEOs at publicly traded companies went down in real terms by 46% between 2000 and 2011, although it bounced back—as did corporate profits—in 2012, while still remaining well below the 2000 level.” (Vanessa Sumo and Hal Weitzman, 2013).

My goal is to persuade you that seat belt laws are a prime example of government overstepping its bounds, chipping away at our right to freedom, and generating revenue in the process. Anything you do in life contains some element of risk. Sensible people understand that and act accordingly, because most people do not want to be a casualty. Adult drivers should know the probability of risk in driving, and be able to make their own choices as to how best to handle the situation. The points that…

Disclosure of the executive compensation promotes the spirit of transparency, consistency, and clarity of the company reporting such that it becomes difficult to conduct dubious deals within the company. In conclusion, BHP Billiton needs to adopt the recommendations of this report…

Executive compensation has attracted wide attention from both theoretical and empirical researchers in the past two decades. Berle and Means (1932) first introduced the idea of chief executive officer (CEO) pay as a mechanism to align the interests of management with those of shareholders. A key issue of modern corporate governance is how to design compensation packages that give appropriate incentives to CEOs to maximise firm performance. To design an appropriate compensation package, the usual…

Specifically, in a survey in 1997, Deegan documented that a small proportion of managers held the equity interest in the firm, usually as a part of an employee share scheme. However, more recent studies have indicated that stock-based compensation is increasing in importance as a component of remuneration packages in Australia (Coulton and Taylor, 2002b; Matolcsy and Wright, 2006a; Chalmers, Koh and Stapledon, 2006). In a sample constructed from the top 200 Australian firms across the period…

Hirschey(2009) explains the law of diminishing returns “As the quantity of a variable input increases, with the quantities of all other factors being held constant, the resulting increase in output eventually diminishes (Hirschey, 2009, pg.253). This is illustrated within the table, as it is seen that at a certain point, paying an additional employees, reduces output. Milestone IV Market Structure Deloitte operates in an oligopolistic market structure. In Fundamentals of Managerial Economics,…

Flames swarm around him, taking away his supply of oxygen one small breath at a time. He’s trying to unbuckle his seatbelt, but it’s jammed shut. He screams for help, yet the roaring of the flames drown out the sound of his voice. People stand by wanting to help, but fearing for their lives, as the car may explode any second. When the Police and Firefighters arrive they were too late he had been burnt to death. This scene that many Americans experience across the states and has scarred them for…
