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.

Most home insurance policies cover jewelry for $1,000 and silverware for $2,500 unless items are covered with additional insuran
raketka [301]

Answer:

$8,200

Explanation:

The amount of asset that is not covered under the insurance policy would not be claimable so if the amount of insurance policy that covers jewelry of worth $1000 and silverware of worth $2,500 then the total claimable insurance would be $3500 ($1000 for both Jewelry and $2500 for silverware).

The jewelry stolen is worth $5200 and out of it $4200 is not claimable because $1000 of this is covered under the insurance policy. Likewise the silverware worth of $6500 has been stolen of which $4000 is not claimable because $2500 of this is covered under the insurance policy.

The claim that would be not covered under the insurance policy would be:

Non claimable insurance amount = ($5,200 - $1,000) + ($6,500 - $2,500)

= $8,200

Even though the remainder of this assignment will focus on motivation, there are two additional determinants of job performance.
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

The answer is Job perfomance= Motivation x Ability x Situational x Constraints

Explanation:

Because in this formula, job performance is how well someone performs the requirements of the job, motivation is the degree to which someone works hard to do the job well, ability is the degree to which workers possess the knowledge, skills, and talent to do the job well, and situational constraints are factors beyond the individual control of the empolyees. Such as policies, resources. Since job perfomance is a multiple function of motivation times ability times situational constraints, the job performance wil decline if one of those elements is considered insuficient.
