The vice-president of HR for Health Wizard, Inc. is designing a performance appraisal system that includes subordinate ratings of their supervisors.The supervisors are concerned about this and have raised all of the following objections EXCEPT (d) the concern that they will be rated on how nice they are to subordinates rather than their true supervisory performance
Explanation:
The rating of the sub-ordinates by their supervisors can not be considered as a perfect way for performance appraisal because it will be over-focused on the behavior of the sub-ordinate with their supervisors rather than the on the job performance.
The sub-ordinates who follow all the commands of their supervisors will be rated high rather than those who perform well on the task given to them
So the answer to the above question is (d) the concern that they will be rated on how nice they are to subordinates rather than their true supervisory performance
Answer:
The correct answer is A. Implement single sign-on.
Explanation:
The single sign-on (SSO), is the working method by which workers gain access to different business applications through a registration procedure. For example, when you log in from your computer, you connect directly to all the computer software. There are two ways of single sign-on:
- Basic SSO
- Federated SSO
With the basic SSO, the password is saved in a "vault", a type of virtual security. This storage usually occurs in the cloud. Then, that vault password is retrieved for all applications that must log in later.
Federated SSO is a more advanced form of single sign-on. In this case, the password data is not stored or transmitted. First, they become tokens. Therefore, another code is created and the original password is not known by any other system.
Answer:
1a. Payback period = <u>Initial outlay</u>
Annual cost saving
= <u>$484,500</u>
$85,000
= 5.7 years
b. The equipment should not be purchased because it has a longer payback period than the company's required payback period.
2a. $
Annual cost saving 85,000
Less: Depreciation <u>40,375</u>
Annual profit <u>44,625</u>
Simple rate of return = <u>Annual profit</u> x 100
Initial outlay
<u>$44,625</u> x 100
$484,500
= 9.21%
Depreciation = <u>Cost - Residual value</u>
estimated useful life
= <u>$484,500 - 0</u>
12 years
= $40,375 per annum
2b, The equipment should not be purchased because the simple rate of return is lower than the company's required rate of return.
Explanation:
Payback period is the ratio of initial outlay to annual cost saving. It is the period in which the initial outlay is recouped.
Simple rate of return is the ratio of annual profit to initial outlay. It measures the rate of return on capital invested.
Answer:
Cutting 36 per Labor Hour
Stitching 25 per machine hour
Inspections 17.5 per labor hour
Packing 12.5 per finished good
Explanation:
cost/ cost driver = rate
Cutting Cost 900,000 / 25,000 labor hours = 36 Rate/DLH
Stitching Cost 8,000,000 / 320,000 machine hours = 25 rate/MH
Inspections Cost 2,800,000 / 160,000 labour hours = 17.5 rate/ DLH
Packing Cost 800,000 / 64,000 finished goods = 12.5 rate/FG
