We have to go backwards:
After the discount in July ( 50 % ), the cost of jeans is $25.50
So the price before this discount was 2 * $22.50 = $45
In June, the price was reduced by 25%.
45 ------------------75%
x --------------------100 %
45 : x = 75 : 100
45 * 100 = 75 x
4,500 = 75 x
x = 4,500 : 75
x = $60
Finally, in May the price was 250% of its wholesale cost.
60 ----------------- 250%
x -------------------100 %
60 : x = 250 : 100
6,000 = 250x
x = 6,000 : 250
x = $24
Answer: The cost of the jeans in the wholesale was $24.

Herzberg's motivational factors and Maslow's esteem and self-actualization needs are similar. Explain how organizations can meet
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Organizations can meet the human needs identified by Maslow by studying and implementing the motivational factors specified by Herzberg.

The similarity of Herzberg's motivational factors and Maslow's esteem and self-actualization needs is addressed by the following questions: "What do people really want from their work?"  "How do organizations go about meeting these needs or ensuring that the needs are met?"

The answer is in the awareness of what workers want from the work they carry out for organizations.  As Maslow stated, people generally have five human needs: physiological needs, safety needs, social belonging, self-esteem, and self-actualization (later described as  transcendence).   It is only when the basic needs (physiological needs, safety needs, and social belonging and love needs) are satisfied  in that order, that workers would seek self-esteem and self-actualization or transcendence.  It is also at this level of seeking self-esteem and self-actualization that organizations would derive the greatest benefits from their workers.  It then behoves organizations to ensure that the basic needs are not denied, but to push forward to help their workers attain self-esteem and self-actualization.

Herzberg's motivational factors show that it is the responsibility of organizations to ensure that their workers achieve a sense of achievement in the work they do.  They should also be recognized for doing good jobs.  The nature of the work should be such that it does not demean the worker.  There should be dignity of labor.  Workers achieve more when they are made responsible for the outcome of their work.   Being assigned responsibilities help them to advance and and grow.  Organizations also need to manage well the extrinsic job elements that Herzberg identified as "hygiene factors," which concentrate on the work environment.

Explanation:

a) Frederick Herzberg identified certain job factors that bring about employee job satisfaction whereas others can create job dissatisfaction. According to Herzberg, "motivating factors (also called satisfiers) are primarily intrinsic job elements that lead to satisfaction, such as achievement, recognition, the (nature of) work itself, responsibility, advancement, and growth."  The dissatisfiers, on the other hand, he called "hygiene factors."   They are "extrinsic elements of the work environment such as company policy, relationships with supervisors, working conditions, relationships with peers and subordinates, salary and benefits, and job security, which can result in job dissatisfaction if not well managed."  An interesting result of Herzberg’s studies was that "the opposite of satisfaction is not dissatisfaction."  Herzberg's studies established that proper management of hygiene factors could prevent employee dissatisfaction, but that these factors could not serve as a source of satisfaction or motivation.  The summary is that motivational factors are quite distinct from hygiene factors.

b) Maslow identified the following hierarchy of human needs: physiological needs, safety needs, social belonging, self-esteem, and self-actualization (later described as  transcendence).  The hierarchy of needs, according to Maslow, show how humans essentially partake in behavioral motivation.   The summary of Maslow's hierarchy of human needs is that "people are motivated to fulfill basic needs before moving on to other, more advanced needs."

Nataly_w [17]

Donna independently owns and operates Punkin's Pies, a small business with about 30 employees. She is happy with the size of her business and the average profits it generates. From this scenario, Donna's business can be considered an entrepreneurial venture -  False.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A person starting a new business with limited amount of resources and plans is called an Entrepreneur.  He is the person who takes responsibilities for the risk and rewards that are associated with that business. The idea of the business must be unique and it should focus only on newer products.

A small business and an entrepreneurial ventures differs from each other although they have similar roles. A small business generally deals with a familiar and an product and services that are already established. The persons of small business usually have risks that are already known. In an entrepreneurial venture, only new products and unknown risks are present.

aalyn [17]

Answer:

The amount allocated to goodwill at January 1, 2017, is: $16,000

Explanation:

We talk of goodwill when a company acquires another one and is the difference between the cost to purchase the business minus the fair market value of the tangible assets netted the liabilities.

In this case the fair value of the assets is:

Assets $550,000 + $40,000 - $10,000= $580,000

The book value of the assets is corrected with the fair value, in this case we correct the value of the patent.

Liabilities $300,000

porcentage acquired 30%

price paid $100,000

$100,000 - ((580,000-300,000)*30%) = $16,000

In this problem we are given the mean of $1100, SD of $150 and x equal to $900. In this case, we need to use the z-score table to answer the problem: 
z = (x-mean)/sd
z = (900-1100)/150
z = -1.33
from z-table, the probability at the left of z= -1.33 is equal to 9.18%

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

The opportunity cost of each pipe and what is the sunk​ cost is $77 and $67 per pipe respectively.

Explanation:

Opportunity cost: The opportunity cost is that cost which is incurred to choose the best options with the available options.

Sunk cost: The sunk cost is that cost which is not recovered in the future. Its other name is the past cost. It does not help to make future decisions as if it is incurred then it cannot be recovered again

So, the opportunity would be the current price i.e $77

And, the sunk cost is $67 per pipe ($77 - $10)
