1 answer:

4 0

<span>Active voice gives the idea that actions are being undertaken and that things will be able to be completed. The passive voice gives the appearance that the tasks are not of high importance and that they'll only be completed if the time allows or if the person is interested in completing them. Active voice allows for the belief that the task is important and the result will be high-priority to the listener(s).</span>

Answer:

Authority - Responsibility Balance & Incentive Development.

Explanation:

Authority refers to the power to command, give orders to somebody. And enjoying the position of having right to get it obeyed.

Responsibility refers to being in a position of accountability, answerability for an allocated task or job & its performance.

For Eg : A manager given responsibility to complete a task of production targets achievement, is also given authority to command the entire staff at the production site.

Joe had problem while working for someone else that :- he had responsibility to complete employers allocated task, but may be not given enough authority to do so, thats why he felt he is being 'commanded by, working for' someone else. Also, he doesn't owe the rewards of his acts, so lacks incentive.

Being an entrepreneur will entitle him with managerial responsibilities, but at the same time will also give him higher authority to take his own independent decisions. And, he is himself responsible for his acts, will bear losses or enjoy profits for himself. So, it also incentivises him to work for himself.

hjlf

Answer:

GROSS MARGIN = 33.33%

Explanation:

PRODUCTION COST COMPONENTS

Direct materials 14,000
Direct work 19,000
Lease and utilities 17,000

TOTAL PRODUCTION COST = 50,000

TOTAL UNITS PRODUCED = 5,000

UNIT COST= (Total Production Cost / Total Units Produced) = 50,000 / 5,000 = 10

FINAL GOODS INVENTORY = (Total Units Produced – Total Units Sales) = 5,000 – 3,000 = 2,000

FINAL GOODS INVENTORY AMOUNT = (Final goods Inventory * Unit Cost) = 2,000 * 10 = 20,000

SALES REVENUE= (Sold Units * Sale Price) = (3,000 * 15) = 45,000

COST OF SOLD GOODS (a) = (Sold Units * Unit Cost) = 3,000 * 10 = 30,000

COST OF SOLD GOODS (b) = (Beginning Balance + Production cost – Final Balance) = 0 + 50,000 – 20,000 = 30,000

GROSS MARGIN = ((Sales Revenue – Cost of sold Goods) / Sales Revenues) * 100 = ((45,000 – 30,000) / 45,000) * 100 = 33.33%

COST OF SOLD GOODS (a) Calculated according to the inventory unit cost

COST OF SOLD GOODS (b) Calculated as the difference in inventory

Based on your personal experience, cite three service businesses and three product businesses that gave you an impressive experi

KengaRu [80]

Explanation:

Product companies: Apple, Adidas and Sephora

Service companies: Dell technical support, Disneyland and Hilton Hotels.

In all these products and services companies mentioned, I had a positive experience in relation to the attendance of the employees, this shows that the employees were really trained. An interesting example is Disneyland, where the slogan "The most magical place on earth" really makes sense, as all employees were trained to provide an experience for the visitor, as they are characterized as famous characters in the film and have a very playful way to create an atmosphere of magic. In other companies, the experience, although different, can be described as similar to Disney, because the main challenge of training employees is that they are able to provide the customer with an effective alignment between the company's purpose and the services offered, so it is essential that the employee is trained to provide all the values that the company demonstrates to the customer, being always solicitous, cordial, having property to answer questions and explain about the product or service, etc.
