Answer:

The correct answer is c. McGregor's Theory X.

Explanation:

Theory X is defined by Douglas McGregor in his 1960s book "The Human Side of Enterprise" as an <em>authoritarian</em> style of management. In the book, McGregor explains that styles of management are greatly influenced by how the manager views people. Theory X is based on the view that workers are inherently lazy and unmotivated, prefer to be directed, do not like to take responsibility and dislike to work in general. In this style of management, it is assumed that the only way to push employees to work is to provide them with incentives or punishments, according to their performance. Also, authority is centralized on a select few and employees are strictly controlled and supervised.

In this particular case, Gerard fits the Theory X style of management, as he coerces and threatens employees to push them to do their jobs. He has the belief that people don't like to work and avoid it.

Hickory point amusement park sells admission tickets for $50 per person for one visit. variable costs are $15 per visitor and fi
Kay [80]
First, calculate for the total operating cost of the park through the equation,

   TC = TV + TF

where TC is the total cost,
     TV is the total variable cost which is equal to the product of the variable cost per visitor and number of visitor, and
     TF is the total fixed cost. 

Substituting the known values,
    TC = ($15)(1,750,000) + $60,000,000 = $86,250,000

Then, the total revenue is the product of the cost of ticket and the number of visitors.
     TR = ($50/visitor)(1,750,000 visitors) = $87,500,000

Subtracting the two values will give us an answer of $1,250,000.
