Executive compensation and rewards continue to increase at a higher rate than employee income, incentives, and rewards despite prominent growth in corporate earnings and stock valuations. The aim of this study is to determine whether executive compensation policies are aligned with firm performance, and assess how an employee profit-sharing structure could be implemented to minimise the disparity between firm income growth and the level of employee productivity that contributes to such growth. Three firms listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) were selected for this study for the financial period 2014 to 2020. Log-linear models are applied to firm efficiency and growth factors. A classification model relating executive compensation to firm risk and performance is presented. Thirdly, a profit-share model is proposed to analyse profit-share impact on compensation ratios and firm cash flow and net profit. No conclusive relationship be-tween executive compensation and financial performance was found for this sample. Profit-share implementation reduces the average employee-executive compensation ratio marginally and has mixed results on inter-firm cash flows and net profits.

Besides all the variables have been tested with the classical assumption. The results of this research showed that all variables passed the test classic assumptions and fit for use as research data. Statistical t test results showed that the variables PBV, NPM and ROA were partial positive and significant impact on stock prices, other variables in this research that the Parliament has negative and insignificant. DPS and DER have no effect and significant to price stock. The results of F test showed that all variables in this study positive and significant effect on the price stock.

Licensed commercial banks may be known as organizations that participate in the financial intermediation process, which entails some risk in carrying out their business. This study looked at how non-performing loans and advances, together known as net non-performing assets, impact commercial banks' net profits. The study concentrated on examining the occurrences in relation to Sri Lanka. The Central Bank of Sri Lanka's economic data library continues to be the principal source of secondary data used in this study. The licensed banks in the Sri Lankan banking system continue to be the target audience for the study, from which 24 licensed commercial banks were conveniently chosen. Time-series data from 2001 to 2020 related to the variables have been collected to ensure the accuracy of the research. The data has been analyzed statistically with the aid of E-Views version 10. The results of the regression analysis have revealed that there is a significant impact on the net profit of the commercial banks in Sri Lanka from the non-performing assets of the bank, further revealing that the relationship existing between the variables under consideration is negative, which leads to conclude that the non-performing assets adversely affect the net profit of the commercial banks in Sri Lanka. The researcher suggests future studies focus on a diversified sample to gain a comprehensive overview of the banking sector of Sri Lanka. The results of this research are useful for Sri Lankan commercial banks in managing their credit risk.

AbstractThis paper derives an optimal sharing ratio for a capitalist or non‐participating firm in a model where workers get a fixed market‐determined wage plus a share of net profit. For the analysis, modern capital market theory and the stock value maximization principle are used. It is shown that the optimal sharing ratio depends on (i) the productivity effect of profit sharing, (ii) the corporate tax treatment of the sharing wage, and (Hi) the risk preferences of management! shareholders. A relationship between productivity effects from profit sharing and optimal sharing ratio is derived. Assuming normally distributed profits of the firm, the results of the paper are illustrated numerically.ResumeCet exposé présente la proportion de partage optimal pour une firme capitaliste ou non‐participante dans laquelle les employés recoivent un salaire déterminé par les forces du marché avec un pourcentage des profits‐net. On utilise pour l'analyse la théorie du marché capital moderne et le principe de maximalisation de la valeur des réserves. Il est démontré que la proportion de partage optimal dépend de: (i) l'effet que le partage des profits a sur la productivité, (ii) comment les taxes commerciales affectent les salaires portagés et (iii) les préférences de risque des gestionnaires\actionnaires. Un rapport est établi entre les effets sur la productivité du partage des profits et la proportion de partage optimal, partir d'une distribution normale des profits d'une firme, les résultats de cet exposé sont illustrés numériquement.

Business of all sizes have a problem: How do you know-in real time-whether you are earning the profit you need to grow or even just stay in business? And which products or services are doing the "heavy lifting" in contributing to profit? Financial statements tell only part of the story. They are backward looking, for one thing, and they generally show results only in the aggregate. Worse, they never seem to reflect the hard work you're doing on a daily basis. As one manager said, "If I'm adding 25% profit to every job, why am I getting barely 5% net profit at the end of the year?" Improving Pr

This study examined the influence of the separation of prescribing and dispensing roles(SPD) policy implemented in Korea in July 2000, especially on the change in the net profit of medical institutions. Using the data set from the Korea's National Health Insurance and the previous research, this study elicited the following main results. First, tertiary care institutions was estimated to lose about 631 billion won after the SPD policy. Second, general hospitals and hospitals gained about 557 billion and 564 billion won, respectively. Third, it is shown that clinics also gained 389-659 billion won. Finally, however, the change in net profit of medical institutions after the SPD policy largely depends on different estimation models. Moreover, it also varies from the assumptions on the price differential of a reimbursable drug which worked as cross-subsidy to insufficient physician's fee before the SPD policy. Despite such limitations as lack of data outside of the National Health Insurance's coverage, this study differs from others. This is the first research to explore the effect of the SPD policy on different types of medical institutions and to attempt to purely focus on the SPD policy. In this study, we can draw the policy implication that preparing for a policy change, the government should set up the policy evaluation system to collect the concerned data and develop the methodologies in advance to the policy implementation. ; open
