Recently, you accepted an internship position with the Tulawaka Zoo in Tennessee. You report to Sharon Molacavage, the Senior An

imal Keeper, who is in charge of all of the big cats at the zoo. Sharon reports to the zoo director, Adam Teitelbaum. You like your job a lot, because you play an active role in all of the zoo meetings and discussions. Adam is particularly interested in what you are learning in your Management classes, because he likes keeping up with new leadership ideas. Today the zoo team is having a meeting to talk about the zoo’s upcoming review by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA). The meeting starts when Adam asks Sharon to talk about the way she manages the employees who report to her. Sharon says, "I’m pretty focused on getting the work around here done, and making sure that all the employees do what is best for the animals. I give my staff specific instructions on what to do every day, and then I check to be sure that they’ve followed those instructions exactly. I don’t tolerate mistakes." As you listen to Sharon you think about what you’ve learned about the Ohio State studies of leadership.
After Sharon talks about her management style, Adam turns to you and says, "I thought I heard something about different styles being effective in different situations. According to Fred Fiedler’s Contingency Theory, what situation would be best for Sharon’s management style?"

-A very favorable situation in which Sharon had very good relations with her employees, and the employees are doing highly structured tasks.

-A moderately favorable situation in which Sharon’s relationships with her employees are strained, but where the employees are still doing highly structured tasks.

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": A moderately favorable situation in which Sharon’s relationships with her employees are strained, but where the employees are still doing highly structured tasks.

Explanation:

Austrian organizational psychologist Fred Fiedler (<em>1922-2017</em>) proposed in his Theory of Contingency that leaders only have one leadership style and that they cannot shape it according to the different situations they might be involved in. Instead, leaders must be located in a situation that matches their style.

Since Sharon's leadership style is <em>autocratic</em>, she is likely to manage herself better in adverse situations where the subordinates still follow her instructions.

Two types of cars (Deluxe and Limited) were produced by a car manufacturer last year. Quantities sold, price per unit, and labor
Damm [24]

Answer:

Labor productivity in units per labor hour for Deluxe car = 0.19 per hour

Labor productivity in units per labor hour for Limited car = 0.24 per hour

Labor productivity in dollar of output per dollar of labor expense for Deluxe car = $98.75

Labor productivity in dollar of output per dollar of labor expense for Limited car = $128.69

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete and its data are merged together. The complete question with the sorted data is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

Two types of cars (Deluxe and Limited) were produced by a car manufacturer last year. Quantities sold, price per unit, and labor hours are given below.

                                QUANTITY                     $/UNIT

Deluxe car            3,655 units sold            $7,700/car

Limited car           5,850 units sold            $9,200/car

Labor, Deluxe        19,000 hours                 $15/hour

Labor, Limited       24,600 hours                 $17/hour

What is the labor productivity for each car? Provide two sets of figures: units per labor hour, and dollar of output per dollar of labor expense. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

The explanation of the answers is now provided as follows:

For each type of car, the following formulae can be used:

Labor productivity in units per labor hour = Units sold / Labor hours ……. (1)

Labor productivity in dollar of output per dollar of labor expense = (Units sold * Price per car) / (Labor hours / Labor rate per hour) ……………. (2)

Using equation (1), we have:

Labor productivity in units per labor hour for Deluxe car = 3,655 / 19,000 = 0.19 per hour

Labor productivity in units per labor hour for Limited car = 5,850 / 24,600 = 0.24 per hour

Using equation (2), we have:

Labor productivity in dollar of output per dollar of labor expense for Deluxe car = (3,655 * $7,700) / (19,000 * $15) = $98.75

Labor productivity in dollar of output per dollar of labor expense for Limited car = (5,850 * $9,200) / (24,600 * $17) = $128.69

These can be translated into a table as follows:

                                     Labor Productivity  

                               Units/hour         Dollars

Deluxe Car              0.19/hour           $98.75

Limited Car             0.24/hour         $128.69

Getting the listener’s full attention, questioning him or her, and asking him or her to paraphrase the message are all technique
timama [110]

Answer:

poor listening

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that this is done in order to overcome poor listening. This refers to individuals who get distracted when listening and hear/understand very little to nothing of what they were supposed to be listening to. By making sure their attention is on you and asking them to repeat what you just said allows the individual to pay more attention to what you are saying and helps the information stick.

A company with 110,000 authorized shares of $8 par common stock issued 49,000 shares at $13. Subsequently, the company declared
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

$29,400

Explanation:

The company will distribute dividends only to outstanding shares, since the number of outstanding shares is not specified, we should assume that all the 49,000 shares issued are outstanding shares. The company declared a 2% dividend, so we must multiply the current value of the stock times 2% = $30 x 2% = $0.60 per share.

The total amount distributed was 49,000 outstanding shares x $0.60 per share = $29,400
