Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

In the last year,

Output per unit of labor hours:

= Output ÷ Labor Hours

= 10,500 units ÷ 12,000

= 0.875

Output per utility consumed:

=  Output ÷ Utilities

= 10,500 units ÷ $7600

= 1.3815

Output per unit of capital:

= Output ÷ capital

= 10,500 ÷ 83,000

= 0.1265

In this year,

Output per unit of labor hours:

= Output ÷ Labor Hours

= 12,100 units ÷ 13,200

= 0.917

Output per utility consumed:

=  Output ÷ Utilities

= 12,100 units ÷ $8,250

= 1.466

Output per unit of capital:

= Output ÷ capital

= 12,100 units ÷ $88,000

= 0.1375

Percentage change in Output per unit of labor hours:

= (0.917 - 0.875) ÷ 0.875

= 4.8%

Percentage change in Output per utility consumed:

= (1.466 - 1.3815) ÷ 1.3815

= 6.11%

Percentage change in Output per unit of capital:

= (0.1375 - 0.1265) ÷ 0.1265

= 8.69%

Therefore, there is a positive percentage increase in all the computations of productivity which shows that there is an improvement in the productivity this year.

An organizational chart of a company shows vice presidents with responsibility for key areas such as design, manufacturing, sale
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer: Functional

Explanation: The functional structure of an organisational chart places people with similar skills who perform similar activities in a group under a common manager who answers to an executive a level up in the hierarchy who may oversee multiple departments. Therefore, an organizational chart of a company showing vice presidents with responsibility for key areas such as design, manufacturing, sales, marketing, and after-sales support would reflect a functional structure.

An advantage of the functional structure is that employees are allowed to focus their collective energies on executing their roles as a department but sometimes they might develop tunnel vision (seeing the company solely through the lens of the employee’s job function) and often at times there is a lack of inter-departmental communication.
