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:
a. $34,900

Answer:
480 inches (40 feet)
Explanation:
Studs are boards placed on walls so as to support the walls. Studs are used in framing the wall and they are vertical.
Studs are usually spaced on walls with wall framing at either 16 inches on center, 19 inches on center or 24 inches on centers.
Given that on center spacing = 16 inches, number of studs = 31
The length of the wall is given by the formula:
number of studs = (length of wall in inches / on center spacing in inches) + 1
Length of wall (inches) = (number of studs - 1) * on center spacing
hence:
Length of wall (inches) = (31 - 1) * 16 inches = 480 inches
Length of wall = 480 inches = 40 feet
Answer: 18.8%
Explanation:
Simple rate of return on investment = Incremental net operating income / investment
Incremental net income = Operating savings - Annual cost
= 145,000 - 420,000/6 years
= $75,000
Net investment = Cost of new machine - salvage value of old
= 420,000 - 21,000
= $399,000
Return on investment = 75,000/399,000
= 18.8%
