Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Data for the past 8 months were collected:

Month Labor Cost Employee Hours

January $7,000 360

February $8,140 550

March $9,899 630

April $9,787 610

May $8,490 480

June $7,450 350

July $9,490 570

August $7,531 310

Total Labor Cost = $5,237 + ($7.40 x Employee Hours)

1) To calculate the variable cost we need to use the following formula:

Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)

Variable cost per unit= (9,899 - 7,000) / (630 - 310)= $9.06 per unit

2) Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)

Fixed costs= 9,899 - (9.06*630)= $4,191

Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)

Fixed costs= 7,000 - (9.06*310)= $4,191

3) direct labor hours= 4,000

Total Labor Cost = $5,237 + ($7.40 x Employee Hours)

Total Labor Cost= 5,237 + (7.4*4,000)= $34,837

alexira [117]

Explanation:

In this situation, you can perceive an unethical attitude from your manager, because he has taken credit for the extra work done by you before the president of the company.

So in this situation, it is ideal to have a dialogue between you and your manager in order to clarify the situation that has occurred. Because many managers can act dishonestly with their subordinates because many feel cornered to question the manager's attitudes for fear of reprisals.

It is also ideal that there is support from the rest of the team for a collaborator who is truly unfair because of a situation of abuse of authority, because this way bad behaviors are inhibited and an organizational climate is created, focused on transparency and ethical behaviors.

How are random events taken into consideration during both hindsight bias and overconfidence?

Orlov [11]

The hindsight bias and overconfidence, plus our eagerness to perceive patterns in random events, can cause tendencies that may lead us to overestimate our intuition. Intuition and intellect are not always accurate, therefore these factors are not trustworthy compared to scientific facts or scientific inquiry which can help us overcome our intuition’s biases and shortcomings.
