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.

The total cost of producing a given level of output is:____.
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

The total cost of producing a given level of output is:____.

d. minimized when the ratio of marginal product to input price is equal for all inputs.

Explanation:

With the above situation, the marginal cost (input price) = the marginal revenue (marginal product).  The producer can then maximize profit if it can lower its average total cost per unit below the marginal cost for producing one additional unit of its product.  In all cost situations, it is better for the producer to have the total revenue exceeding the total costs, at all times, but more especially with increasing production.

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

$4,790,000

Explanation:

We know,

Opening cash flow + Net cash generated during the period = Closing cash

Opening cash = $150,000

Closing = $310,000

Net cash generated = $310,000 - $150,000 = $160,000

Cash inflow from operating activities = $2.5 million

Cash flow from investing activities = $2 million

Cash from issue of debt = $500,000

Dividends paid = ($50,000)

Net cash generated = $4,950,000

Cash generated - Cash used for repurchase of common stock = $160,000

$4,950,000 - cash used = $160,000

Cash used in repurchase of common stock = $4,790,000

Anastasy [175]

Answer: commercialization

Explanation:

Concept testing is the stage at which survey is being carried out for a particular product. This is done in order to know how consumers will accept a new product before such product is finally introduced to the market.

Since the product has passed the concept testing, the next step will be commercialization. This is when the product is then introduced and the business is managed in order to make profit.
