Answer: B - Groupshift.

Explanation:

When any group comes together and has different views it can cause a groupshift. This is different than having a discussion, conformity, role conflicts, etc. The groupshift will usually go for the most extreme ideas out of all others and go with that instead. It only takes one vocal person in the group to shift the ways the others think and change the views they had before the meeting.

The most dominant speaker in the group will be the one to persuade the others to join in their views and therefore making it a groupshift.

The nominal exchange rate is the price of one currency in terms of another currency. A nominal exchange rate specifies how many
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

Approximate price of marble statue in USD is:

= Price of statue * Foreign Currency Cost of one unit

= 1,700 * 0.9213

= US$‭1,566.21‬

<em>If the nominal exchange rate for the U.S. dollar–euro rises from $1.3457 to $1.547555 per euro, the euro </em><em><u>appreciated</u></em><em> in value, or </em><em><u>appreciated</u></em><em>, relative to the U.S. dollar.</em>

If this direct rate increases from $1.3457 to $1.547555 per euro, it means that one Euro can now buy more dollars than before which means that it gained/ appreciated in value relative to the USD.

For instance: Before the change, €10 = 10 * 1.3457 = $10.3457

After the change, €10 = 10 * 1.547555 = 10.547555

Euro therefore became stronger relative to the USD.

Joe Jenkins, the owner of Jenkins Manufacturing, is considering whether to produce a new product. Joe will be selling the produc
Paul [167]

Answer:

Jenkins Manufacturing

Joe should produce using the new equipment.

Explanation:

a) Costs incurred using the old equipment:

Variable costs = $45,000 ($50 x 900)

Fixed costs = $40,000

Total costs = $85,000

Operating Loss = $22,000 ($63,000 - 85,000)

b) Costs incurred using the new equipment:

Variable costs = $22,500 ($25 x 900)

Fixed costs = $60,000

Total costs = $82,500

Operating Loss = $19,500 ($63,000 - 82,500)

Production using the new equipment would reduce the operating loss by $2,500.

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

d. "Shoot the messenger" management exists, implying a lack of control

Explanation:

The approach of "shoot the messenger" implies that the management of a company tend to blame the bearer of bad news as if they are responsible for the bad occurrence.

This approach causes tension and lack of communication in the workplace as employees are afraid of communicating when something bad happens.

Management is supposed to look objectively at the situation, identify the party that is responsible for the failure, and work towards rectifying it.

This is the situation in the scenario where Matilda received an e-mail from an angry client about a certain product and she hesitated to report it to her manager because she knew that he had a tendency to unfairly blame people for things
