Write 8 pages with APA style on Discovering Motivational Theories. The instinct theory deals with inborn, automatic, involuntary, and unlearned processes that control and direct human behavior and has been developed by drawing up a list of human instincts. This theory sets an important perspective of evolution and has been adopted by socio-biologists considering a wide range of human behavior, from aggression to interpersonal attraction, from the standpoint of natural selection and the survival of humans as a species. But the theory has been abandoned as an explanation of human motivation as human beings are not driven by instincts only to act in a certain manner (“Motivation”, 2008).

The need theories of human motivation include Murray’s theory of human personality, Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory, ERG theory, McClelland’s achievement motivation theory, and Herzberg’s motivator-hygiene theory. All these theories focus basically on need as a motivator for human behavior. Murray’s theory of human personality assumes the human ability to learn from the environment and hypothesizes an invisible link between stimulus and reaction to the stimulus. The theory focused on physical and psychological needs as the motivations of human behavior. The theory tried to explain the complexities of multiple psychological needs but did not focus much on physical needs. Maslow’s theory on the other hand placed the physiological needs at the base of his pyramid of hierarchy of needs followed by safety, love/ belonging, esteem, and self-actualization. According to him satisfaction with a lower level of needs only can stimulate concentration towards a higher level. He explained that growth needs can be met only after meeting the deficiency needs of survival, safety, love, and esteem. Growth needs were thought to be enduring motivators after the neutralization of deficiency needs. This theory is more universal than Murray’s theory but there is no evidence of need hierarchy and it is not possible to maintain such hierarchy in the everchanging society.

ZEV credits (ZEV=zero emission vehicle) are awarded to car makers who sell electric or hydrogen cell powered cars in certain participating states. Each car earns differing levels of credit based on the range of the vehicle and certain characteristics such as if the vehicle is purely electric or a hybrid gas/electric car. In the states that participate in this program, car makers are required to earn, or purchase on the market, a certain number of ZEV credits relative to the number of cars they sell in that state. In 2018, for example, the ZEV program requires about 2.5% of sales to be zero emission vehicles. Because Tesla only sells electric vehicles, they earn far more ZEV credits than they need, allowing them to sell the excess to other car manufacturers.

For the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2016, Tesla reported the following in their annual report:

Regulatory Credits

California and certain other states have laws in place requiring vehicle manufacturers to ensure that a portion of the vehicles delivered for sale in that state during each model year are zero emission vehicles. These laws and regulations provide that a manufacturer of zero emission vehicles may earn regulatory credits (ZEV credits) and may sell excess credits to other manufacturers who apply such credits to comply with these regulatory requirements. Similar regulations exist at the federal level that require compliance related to greenhouse gas emissions and also allow for the sale of excess credits by one manufacturer to other manufacturers. As a manufacturer solely of zero emission vehicles, we have earned emission credits, such as ZEV and GHG credits on vehicles, and we expect to continue to earn these credits in the future. We enter into contractual agreements with third parties to purchase our regulatory credits.

We recognize revenue on the sale of these credits at the time legal title to the credits is transferred to the purchasing party as automotive revenue in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Revenue from the sale of regulatory credits totaled $302.3 million, $168.7 million, and $216.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014.

Review the annual report (Specifically refer to Consolidated Statements of Operations) and calculate how these credits would affect Tesla’s reported profit. That is, if these revenues disappeared in 2016 and all other aspects of Tesla’s operation remained the same, what would their reported “net loss” have been?

1.      Now that we have discussed a Roth IRA and what types of requirements apply to this form of retirement account, explain the general guidelines for taking distributions from this form of retirement account.

2.      What are some of the requirements that determine whether a distribution is a qualified distribution or non- qualified in nature when it applies to a Roth IRA?

3.      What are some of the post death distribution rules and how do we establish our Roth IRA with these rules under consideration?

4.      Using the definitions of both the traditional and Roth IRA’s, explain what a rollover is and why we would ever want to consider doing one? What types of rules apply to performing a rollover?

5.      In performing a rollover, there may be specific situations where the process does not work properly, or becomes defective in its execution. How do we handle a defective rollover situation? What types of penalties apply to this type of situation?

6.      Explain a Coverdell Education Savings Account to include their objectives, purpose, and how transfers and rollovers are performed for these types of accounts.

7.      Explain how we would rollover an IRA to a qualified plan and all of the considerations we would want to review first.

8.      Discuss how we would rollover an IRA to a health savings account and the considerations we would want to consider.

Professional Development Question

If the meteorite struck the car with a speed of 550 m/s, what was the magnitude of its deceleration, assuming it to be constant? X v0 = 550 m/s Original top of car trunk Draw a simple diagram showing the meteors starting and ending points and the origin and direction of increase of your coordinate system. Write out the values of the known and solve variables. Known: Solve: v0 = 550 m/s a=? V = 0 m/s x = 0.22 m What is the variable Not Involved? 2 v 2 = v0 + 2ax 2 v 2 V0 = 2ax 2 v 2 Which kinematic equation does that suggest that you should use? Solve that kinematic equation for the variable of interest? Plug in the known values and solve for the desired quantity?
