As a manager, you meet with each of your team members quarterly to review their progress toward their written and agreed-upon go

als. One of your employees, Claire, had a goal of increasing sales in her territory by 10% in the first quarter of the year. However, when you review Claire’s sales numbers, you see that her sales have actually gone down. You know that Claire is a hard worker and has an excellent relationship with her customers. When you sit down to discuss Claire’s performance, she explains what is happening in her territory. A major automobile manufacturer, which once provided 25,000 jobs, has moved its operations to Mexico and laid off all 25,000 of its workers. As a result, the economy in Claire’s region has become quite depressed, and the residents are living off their savings.
Taking the steps of the planning/control cycle into account, what is your best course of action with Claire?

a. Terminate Claire's employment with the company.
b. Arrange for Claire to take a refresher course on sales methods.
c. Transfer Claire to another territory and replace her with another sales rep who is new to the company and therefore "hungry."
d. Recognize the economic reality of Claire's territory and change her goals to make them ambitious but realistic.
e. Put Claire on probation, explaining that she will be terminated if her performance does not improve in the next quarter.

Answer: d. Recognize the economic reality of Claire's territory and change her goals to make them ambitious but realistic.

Explanation: a,b and d are all punishments and will cause the company to lose a valuable and hard-working member which does not make sense since it is not her fault. c. is not a very option either as it would involve relocating Claire which she may not want, is not necessarily fair to the new sales rep, and could potentially cause profit and sales to go down even further by having a new sales rep work this territory. c. d. is the best option because it will be kinder to Claire and will keep the company running smoothly.

Hope this helps!  :)

Explain how firms that compete in the four different market structures determine profitability.
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Price is determined by the forces of market demand and market supply. A firm sells its output at the given price. Therefore, a firm under perfect competition is a price taker, not a price maker.

Perfect competition is a form of market where there is a large number of buyers and sellers of a commodity. A homogeneous product is sold and its price is determined by the forces of supply and demand.

The elasticity of demand for the firm's demand =  Infinite Because of free entry and exit, firms, in the long run, earn only normal profits (TR = TC or AR = AC). In the extra normal profits earned, new firms will join the industry. Market supply will increase. The market price will fall. Extra normal profits will be wiped out. In case of extra normal losses, some of the existing firms will leave the industry. Market supply will decrease. The market price will increase. Extra normal losses will be wiped out.

(A). Normal profits (TR = TC or AR = AC)

(B). Extra normal profits ( TR>TC or AR>AC)

(C).  Extra normal losses (TR<TC or AR <AC)

In economics, a market is a system, institution, process, social relationship, or infrastructure configuration in which parties exchange ideas. Although parties can exchange goods and services through barter, most markets rely on sellers offering goods and services (including labor) to buyers in exchange for money.

A market can be described as the process by which prices for goods and services are determined. Markets facilitate trade and enable the distribution and allocation of resources in society. Marketplaces allow the valuation and pricing of any tradeable item. Markets can arise more or less spontaneously or be consciously constructed by people

Which one of the following will produce the highest present value interest factor? A. 6 percent interest for five years B. 6 per
disa [49]

Answer:

The correct answer is A

Explanation:

The formula to compute the present value interest factor using excel is as:

= 1/(1+r)^ n

where

r is the rate

n is number of years

So, in case of A,

The present value interest factor is:

= 1/(1+0.06)^5

= 0.74725

In case of B,

The present value interest factor is:

= 1/(1+0.06)^8

= 0.62741

In case of C,

The present value interest factor is:

= 1/(1+0.06)^10

= 0.55839

In case of D,

The present value interest factor is:

= 1/(1+0.08)^5

= 0.68058

In case of E,

The present value interest factor is:

= 1/(1+0.08)^10

= 0.46319

Therefore, it is highest in option A.
