examples to show your knowledge of the subject matter. The final
essay question is on any T&D topic of your choice that is not
included in the initial four (4) essay questions.

and company core competencies. Why is it important for a trainer
to understand these differences? (30points)

call from the manager of the accounting department. He states that
he needs training done for his team, which will assist it in learning
the newest version of the Peachtree accounting software. He
mentions that his boss, the CFO, told him to put together a proposal
for training that included a way to measure transfer of training. He
is panicked and says, "First of all, I don't know what transfer of
training is, and second, how I can measure it?" What will you tell
him? (40 points)
5. Explain one similarity and one difference between training and
performance management and between training and succession
planning. Does training have a part of either performance

1. Training return on investment (ROI) is a calculation of economic
return on a project.
An organization lost 125 employees last year, at a cost of $5,000.00
each. (Value is derived from cost to rehire and fill opening, as well
as lost investment in the employee.) You suggest that a one-time
investment in a training program (costing $250,000 up front) will
reduce turnover by 50%. Calculate the following numbers using
historical figures as your assumptions.
50. 2. Cost-benefit analysis presents data as a ratio to determine
financial impact on company profitability. The formula is: cost-
benefit ratio = value of projected benefits divided by cost.
We have estimated that a training program on sexual harassment
will cost $14,000 and result in a savings of $70,000 (the cost of the
two settlements we paid last year).
Value of projected benefits = $70,000 Cost = $14,000.00
3. Break-even analysis. This is the point in which revenue (or
savings) from the program equals the cost of the program-the time
the company has "broken even" on the cost of the training.
Formula = Break-even point = cost/savings * time
time is the period of time in which the return is being calculated, if
annually, then 12months.
4. Why is it important for trainers to be able to estimate the ROI,
cost-benefit analysis, and break-even analysis? Give three reasons
why calculating this information will assist the training endeavors.
