Answer:
<u>THEORY X</u> managers subscribe to the traditional view of direction and control of subordinates, who they see as indolent and lazy, whereas <u>THEORY Y</u> managers naturally take the opposite view of workers, seeing them as willing and eager to be productive.
Explanation:
Douglas McGregor developed the theory X and Y management models in the late 1950s.
Theory X managers have a fairly negative view of their employees (and probably humanity as a whole), and they consider them lazy, with very little personal ambition and motivation, and that they work only for their paycheck. They believe that strict supervision and a system of rewards and payments is the best management model.
On the other hand, theory Y managers have a much more positive view of their employees (and humanity as a whole), they consider them responsible, capable of making good decisions, are internally motivated to work better, and not just because they want to earn a paycheck. They emphasis on job satisfaction and less supervision.
Answer:
Direct material quantity variance= $10,980 unfavorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard Price or Rate Direct materials 8.5 kilos $ 6.00 per kilo
The company reported the following results concerning this product in August. Actual output 3,200 units Raw materials used in production 29,030 kilos Purchases of raw materials 31,600 kilos. Actual cost of raw materials purchases $ 195,920
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Standard quantity= 8.5*3,200= 27,200 kg
Actual quantity= 29,030kg
Standard price= $6
Direct material quantity variance= (27,200 - 29,030)*6= $10,980 unfavorable

Explanation:
To calculate investment interest expense dedcution, we need to know the total investment income & total investment interest expenses
Then there're 2 scenarios as followings:
- If the investment interest expenses are less than the net investment income, the entire investment interest expense is deductible.
- If the investment interest expenses are more than the net investment income, we can deduct the expenses up to the net investment income amount. The rest of the expenses are carried forward to next year.
In this example, Ramon's investment income is $72,000 ($34,500 of interest and a $37,500 net capital gain on the sale of securities); is lower than his interest expenses of $83,100.
So Ramon is entiled to deduct $72,000 all the entire investment interest expense in current year
Answer:
the share should sell at $46
Explanation:
We use the CAPM method to know the required return of the capital
risk free 0.04
market rate 0.1
beta(non diversifiable risk) 2
Ke 0.16000 = 16%
Now we calculate with the dividends grow model the intrinsic value of the share:
$4.6/0.1 = $46
Answer:
$1,667
Explanation:
Given that,
Savings account at the beginning of the year = $2,000
Price level at the beginning of the year = 100
Price level at the end of the year = 120
Price level increases from 100 to 120
Therefore, what was worth $120 earlier, is not worth only $100.
Hence, $120 at the beginning of the year is worth = $100 at the end of the year
$1 at the beginning of the year is worth = ($100 ÷ $120) at the end of the year
Savings of $2,000 at the beginning of the year is worth:
= ($100 ÷ $120) × $2,000
= 0.833 × $2,000
= $1,667
Therefore, the real value of the savings is $1,667.
