Answer:

A) Arbitrary allocation

Explanation:

Arbitrary allocation of resources is a very commonly used method specially by experienced managers. To be honest, almost all the allocation methods are arbitrary, only that some are less obvious, e.g. percentage of sales is also arbitrary because what percentage is the correct allocation, someone decided because their previous experience favors such a number.

The manager doesn't magically come up with numbers and decides that X should be assigned to this product and Y to that product. He/she bases the decision on previous campaigns as a parameter and then he/she determines an amount.

Of course this type of resource allocation is not the best or more exact way to do it, but it is based on experience and experience also matters. What would be really problematic is that the manager is so stubborn that he/she will not adjust the balance according to the needs. You must remember that all budgets are only estimates, and estimates aren't usually 100% correct (they wouldn't be estimates if they were 100% sure). What is important is to be able to adjust your budget to correct any variances.

Answer:

Arbitrary allocation.

Explanation:

Arbitrary allocation is a method where costs budgeted are not based on any precise measurement,hence accurate costs could not be arrived at.

This approach to budgeting breeds inefficiencies as the accurate budgeting is expected to lead to accurate costing of products as well as pricing.

All in all,the true profitability of a business cannot be ascertained.

Finally,the organization adopting this type of approach needs to change to other accurate methods of budgeting such incremental or rolling budgeting.

How does adaptability assist a school leaver to become a successful business owner
noname [10]

Answer:

To create a high degree of adaptability, you should develop more meaningful business relationships with others. If you're mindful of being respectful to others or having empathy, your relationships are only bound to deepen. In other words, when people see that you care about them and their businesses and not just what they can do to help you, you may gain more success. When you help someone without expecting anything in return, something happens. You get goodwill returned to you. In other words, when someone has a need or sees an opportunity for you, they will think of you, so it pays to keep your professional relationships adaptable.

People with a high degree of versatility have specific characteristics: attentiveness, competence, and resilience. Versatile people have a vision for the future and the ability to self-correct. People who are not versatile are resistant to change and single-minded. As an example, our friend could not focus on anything more than client development.
