Question: Falkirk prepares a grid (see Table 5) highlighting the level of management and interdepartment interaction as well as the number of N.J. resident employees in

Falkirk prepares a grid (see Table 5) highlighting the level of management and interdepartment interaction as well as the number of N.J. resident employees in each function. He believes that those functions with the lowest level of interdepartment and management interaction would be best for possible relocation and selects the departments with low to medium interdepartment rankings. Additionally, Falkirk prepares a summary list of employees by function and their residence (see Table 6) to estimate the likely number of employees that would be retained and the potential severance costs if a portion of the accounting functions are relocated to N.J. He assumes that department heads and their assistants would have offices in both the corporate headquarters and the N.J. location. He estimates that 250 square feet of office space per position will be needed for each employee relocated from the New York office and a comparable amount would be available for subleasing. He assumes 100% of all employees who are N.J. residents would be retained. Of the residents not in New Jersey, he assumes all department heads and their assistants would remain while all other employees not from New Jersey would terminate, and severance would be paid to any employee not relocating
