In order for tqm to be successful, it is essential that most of the organization be _________.

1 answer:

5 0

There are several good answers to this question. I choose training and leadership support.

Training is absolutely necessary to understand the concepts of teamwork, using data to make decisions, understanding processes and variability, to name a few.

Leadership must be committed or there will not be any support. If your leader isn't on board, you will not be supported. You will start futile attempts that do not get implemented. This causes employees to become disenchanted and just do what they are told.

TQM doesn't get implemented very easily in a bureaucracy. All the concepts are supported by many documented success stories. But there is the "We are different, it won't work here" This denial create failure, not success.

cestrela7 [59]

The answer to the question is Gina (B) is more likely to be perceived as overemotional and incompetent.

This is mainly because of her gender – since Gina is female, and females are often stereotyped as highly influenced by feelings when exhibiting their behaviors, thus, she will be judged as overemotional due to this. She would also be judged as more incompetent than Bill.

Inga [223]

Answer:

ROA = 0.08 or 8%

Asset turnover = 2.4

Profit Margin = 0.033 OR 3.3%

Explanation:

All of the above requirements can be calculated as follows according to their formula

Working

Average asset = (Assets at beginning + assets at end )/ 2

Average assets = (4025 + 4970 )/ 2

Average assets = $4497.5

Requirement A. Return on assets

ROA = Net Income / Average assets

ROA = $359.8 / $4497.5(w)

ROA = 0.08 or 8%

Requirement 2 Asset turnover

Asset turnover = Net Sales / Average assets

Asset turnover = $10,794 / $4497.5

Asset turnover = 2.4

Requirement 3 Profit Margin

Profit margin = Net income / Net sales

Profit margin = $359.8/$10,794

Profit Margin = 0.033 OR 3.3%

Exercise 11-1 (Algo) Depreciation methods [LO11-2] [The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] On Janu

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

Straight line depreciation expense each year of the useful life would be $9,600

The double declining method

Deprecation expense in December 2021 = $20,800

Depreciation expense in 2022 = $12,480

Depreciation expense in 2023= $7488

Depreciation expense in 2024 = $4,492.80

Deprecation expense in 2025 = $2695.68

Explanation:

Straight line depreciation method = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life

Cost of asset = $52,000

Salvage value = $4,000

Useful life = 5

($52,000 - $4,000) / 5 = $9,600

The straight line depreciation method allocates the same deprecation expense for each year of the useful life of the asset.

So the deprecation expense each year would be $9,600.

Double declining depreciation method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset

Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life)

2 × (1/5) = 0.4

Deprecation expense in December 2021 = 0.4 x $52,000 = $20,800

Net book value = $31,200

Depreciation expense in 2022 = 0.4 x $31,200 = $12,480

Net book value = $31,200 - $12,480 = $18,720

Depreciation expense in 2023 = 0.4 x $18,720 = $7488

Net book value = $18,720 - $7488 =$11,232

Depreciation expense in 2024 = 0.4 x $11,232 = $4,492.80

Net book value = $11,232 - $4,492.80 = $6,739. 20

Deprecation expense in 2025 = 0.4 × $6,739. 20 = $2695.68
