Which management theory was based on understanding each part of a task, selecting the right workers, providing adequate training

n200080 [17]

Answer:

Taylorism

Explanation:

Taylorism, often referred to as Scientific Management, was the first theory of management to focus specifically on analyzing and optimizing workflows. These theories of process optimization helped drive the Fordist shift to mass production which occurred in the early part of the 20th Century. Taylorism can be boiled down to 4 principal points: The method of doing a task should be informed by a scientific investigation of the task , employees should be selected and carefully trained for tasks ,tasks should have detailed instructions and should be subject to supervision and management should evaluate tasks and formulate optimized approaches for the workers to follow .

Some forms of analysis might be done by timing how long it takes a worker to do a task, others by weighing raw materials. Process analysis, for Taylor, had to look at both the minutiae of the process composition and the detail of the physical acts required to complete the process. The elements of process improvement Taylor advocated for were successful in regards to processing materials; changing the way steel was cut and patenting that process. Yet, during his life, Taylor struggled to achieve quite the same success improving the efficiency of workers. Taylorism was first scientifically understanding how the production process worked and then supporting the managers of a workplace to intimately train workers to work at maximum efficiency. This way, the means towards higher returns is paved with a well-managed, harmonious relationship between managers and workers. In theory, this would have been a much more sustainable model for an organization. But despite that promise, people, although genetically similar, are intrinsically unique and complex. Aligning different minds and ushering people to a new way of working (from individual craft, to standardized production), sometimes require more time and effort than bringing in a new piece of technology.

A company has a selling price of $1,300 each for its printers. Each printer has a 2 year warranty that covers replacement of def

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

$56,000

Explanation:

The computation of the warranty expense for the month of November is shown below:

Warranty expense = Number of printers × Estimated percentage of defectives parts × Average cost per printer

= 20,000 printers × 2% × $140

= 400 × 1460

= $56,000

We simply multiplied the number of printers with the estimated percentage and the average printer cost so that the warranty expense could come

Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

1. $26 per unit

2. $183,040

3. $503,360

Explanation:

1. Computation of per unit mineral cost

Per unit mineral cost=(1,169,500+96,300+214,000-107,000)/52,800

Per unit mineral cost=1,372,800/52,800

Per unit mineral cost=$26 per unit

Therefore the Per unit mineral cost will be $26 per unit

2. Computation of Total materials cost

Total materials cost= (26,400 tons-19,360 tons)*26

Total materials cost=7,040*26

Total materials cost=$183,040

Therefore the Total materials cost will be $183,040

3. Calculation for the Total materials cost in Cost of goods sold

Total materials cost in Cost of goods sold= (19,360*26)

Total materials cost in Cost of goods sold =$503,360

Therefore the Total materials cost in Cost of goods sold will be $503,360

Palencia Paints Corporation has a target capital structure of 35% debt and 65% common equity, with no preferred stock. Its befor

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Cost of common equity is 15.7% and WACC is 7.2%

Explanation:

D1 is

D1= 2.25 (1+0.05)

The cost of common equity is

Rs = 2.36/ 22.00 + 5% =0.157= 15.7%

The cost of common equity is weighted average cost of capital (WACC)

WACC = (0.35) * (0.08) (1- 0.40) + 0 preferred stock+ (0.35) * (0.157)

WACC = 0.03 *0.6 + 0 + 0.054

WACC = 0.018 + 0.054

WACC = 7.2%
