2 reasons why it is important to learn how to use a budget

Give some examples of each of the three ""occasions for decision"" cited by Chester Barnard. Explain in your own words why Barna

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer: The three "occasions for decision" are:

1. From authoritative communications from superiors

2. From cases referred for decision by subordinates

3. From cases originating in the initiative of the executive command

Explanation: Examples of the three "occasions for decision" are:

1. From authoritative communications from superiors: an increase in the annual target of a sales force, passed on from the director to the sales manager.

This type of decision making is usually about the application of an instruction.

2. From cases referred for decision by subordinates: decision to employ branch level staff, whose engagement is within the right of the branch manager

This occasion for decision shows a lack of authority in subordinates or an inability to be decisive in the subordinate.

3. From cases originating in the initiative of the executive command: the CEO deciding to take his brick and mortar business completely online.

This is a decision that that is totally the product of the executive head's thoughts, it is usually a strategic level decision and opens his authority to criticism.

Chester Barnard believed that this is the most important occasion for decision because the executive head is best placed to make these decisions in the organization. He has the authority as well as resources to ensure that the decision is followed through.

I also agree that this is the most important occasion for decision. While they are difficult decisions, they can determine the direction of an organization. There is no one better qualified than the executive command to make or initiate these decisions. Also, it is part of their responsibility to make these decisions.

How long will it take for the dollar's purchasing power to be 3/4ths of what it is now, if the general inflation rate is expecte

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

5.61 years

Explanation:

Let the Present value be 'x'

Data provided in the question:

Future value = $\frac{3}{4}x$

Inflation rate, i = 5% = 0.05

Now,

Using the compounding

let number of years be n

thus,

Future value = Present value × [ 1 - inflation rate ]ⁿ

$\frac{3}{4}x$ = x × (1 - 0.05)ⁿ

or

0.75 = 0.95ⁿ

on taking log on both the sides , we get

or

log(0.75) = n × log(0.95)

or

-0.125 = n × (-0.0223)

or

n = 5.61 years

or, n = 11.89 years

What is meant by production?

Making something out of parts or raw materials is the act of producing something. In other words, manufacturing uses inputs to create an output that is suitable for consumption—a good or product with value for a consumer or end-user.

Production is the process of combining various immaterial inputs (plans, knowledge) with material inputs to create something that is intended for consumption (output). It is the process of producing an output, a good or service that has value and enhances people's usefulness.

During the current year, Walter invests $35,000 in each of two separate corporations. Each investment gives him a 20% ownership

Bond [772]

Answer:

B) Only statement II is correct.

II. Has $20,000 of taxable income from Corporation Z.

Explanation:

One of the disadvantages of a C Corporation is that their owners (stockholders) are double taxed. That means that the corporation is taxed and then the stockholders are taxed depending on the dividends that they receive. In this case, Walter has $10,000 of taxable income from Corporation X (= $50,000 x 20%).

On the other hand, sole proprietorships, partnerships, limited liability companies and S Corporations are not taxed, they are pass through entities whose owners are taxed directly. In this case, Walter owns 20% of Corporation Z, therefore he must pay taxes on 20% of taxable income = $100,000 x 20% = $20,000.

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

B. minus$2,000.

Explanation:

The computation of the economic profit is shown below:

As we know that

Economic profit = Total revenue - Explicit costs - Implicit costs

= $35,000 - $30,000 - $7,000

= -$2,000

The implicit cost is come from

= $70,000 ×10%

= $7,000

We simply applied the above formula so that the economic profit could come
