Answer:

The correct answer is letter "E": pathways to need satisfaction and the influence of blocked needs.

Explanation:

The Content Theories of Motivation comprises <em>Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, the Douglas McGregor's "Management Assumptions" (Theory X and Theory Y), the Clayton Alderfer's Existence, Relatedness, and Growth (ERG) Theory, David McClelland's Need for Achievement, Affiliation and Power, </em>and <em>Frederick Herzberg's' Two Factor Theory</em>.

The Content Theories of Motivation have been useful in the work-frame to understand employees' needs determining what motivates them and the steps workers follow to satisfy their wants influenced by needs that at a certain point were blocked. In academic circles, these theories are not accepted because of their simplicity and methodology biases.

Multi-item indexes are unable to account for dual sources of status (both men and women) in american households because they?

Goshia [24]

These consider many variables simultaneously and weight these according to a scheme that mirrors societal perceptions. It is a rating scale made up of several items, each of which is a separate question or statement that must be evaluated. Subjects will be able to explain their feelings about many aspects of their professions using a multi-item measure.

This will considerably increase the measure's precision and validity. As a result, multi-item measures are among the most essential and widely utilized tools in social research. Multiple-item scales are intended to sample a broader range of interpretations in order to capture the entire spectrum of a construct.

Effective SCM requires reducing cost, increasing inventory velocity and compressing cycle time. What of the following is true? 1

-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

The answer is: 4) More frequently than not, the three objectives are compatible.

Explanation:

Toyota is famous for its Just in Time (JIT) management. They are the absolute kings of efficient supply chain management and they were able to do it by making the three objectives compatible. That doesn't mean that they all have to be dealt with at the same time and with the same intensity.

Toyota's first goal was to reduce costs and in order to reduce costs they had to increase their inventory turnover. Then they discovered that in order to keep increasing inventory turnover, they had to compress their cycle time. When they were able to compress their cycle time, their turnover increased even more and their costs were lowered. The system produces continuous feedback and their efficiency keeps increasing.

I once visited one of their factories that produces almost 500 pickup trucks per day and every single work station had available inventory for only 4 trucks; only 4 engines, 16 doors, etc. It is amazing how they do it considering that every 3 minutes one truck is fully produced.

The three objectives are not only compatible, but they are absolutely necessary for the SCM to be effective.

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

Manufacturing-related production costs are initially recorded as expenses

Explanation:

Cost is defined as an amount that has to be paid or spent to buy or obtain something. Cost can be specific, like, "What is the cost of a particular product?" or it can be a penalty, like consider the cost of missing the event.

Expenses sounds similar to that of cost: an amount of money that must be spent especially regularly ro pay for something.

Manufacturing cost are considered to as those that are spent to transform materials into finished goods. Manufacturing costs include direct materials, direct labor, and factory overhead.

Manufacturing cost are also known as factory cost or production cost

Two investment opportunities are as follows:________. Alt A Alt B First Cost 200 100 Uniform annual benefit 32 27 End of useful

Talja [164]

Answer:

Since the 4.34 NPV of Alt A is greater than the 2.35 NPV of Alt B, it therefore implies that Alt A should be selected.

Explanation:

Note: The data in the question are merged together. They are therefore sorted before answering the question as follows:

Alt A Alt B

First Cost 200 100

Uniform annual benefit 32 27

End of useful life salvage value 20 0

Useful life, in years 10 5

The explanation to the answer is now given as follows:

a. Calculation of NPV of Alt A

First Cost = 200

PV of uniform annual benefit = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) ……………………. (2)

Where;

P = uniform annual benefit = 32

r = MACC = 10%, or 0.10

n = number of useful years = 10

Note: The formula for calculating the present value of ordinary annuity is being used here to calculate the Present Value (PV) of uniform annual benefit.

Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:

PV of uniform annual benefit = 32 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.10))^10) / 0.10) = 32 * 6.14456710570468 = 196.63

PV of Salvage value = FV / (1 + r)^n ..................... (2)

Where;

FV = End of useful life salvage value = 20

r = MACC = 10%, or 0.10

n = number of useful years = 10

Note: The normal formula for calculating the present value (PV) is being used here to calculate the PV of Salvage value

Substitute the values into equation (2) to have:

PV of Salvage value = 20 / (1 + 0.10)^10 = 20 / 2.5937424601 = 7.71

Net present value (NPV) of Alt .A = PV of uniform annual benefit + PV of Salvage value - First cost = 196.63 + 7.71 - 200 = 4.34

b. Calculation of NPV of Alt B

First Cost = 100

PV of uniform annual benefit = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) ……………………. (3)

Where;

P = uniform annual benefit = 27

r = MACC = 10%, or 0.10

n = number of useful years = 5

Note: The formula for calculating the present value of ordinary annuity is also being used here to calculate the Present Value (PV) of uniform annual benefit.

Substitute the values into equation (3) to have:

PV of uniform annual benefit = 27 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.10))^5) / 0.10) = 27 * 3.79078676940845 = 102.35

NPV of Alt B = PV of uniform annual benefit - First cost = 102.35 – 100 = 2.35

c. Decision

Since the 4.34 NPV of Alt A is greater than the 2.35 NPV of Alt B, it therefore implies that Alt A should be selected.
