Answer:

a) Decentralized

Explanation:

Decentralization refers to delegation of authority from the top level managers to the lower level managers.

When a superior assigns his routine tasks to his immediate subordinate giving him ample authority to do such task, it is referred to as Delegation.

When delegation is carried out to the lowest level in the organizational hierarchy, it is termed as Decentralization.

In the given case, the company assigned more authority and responsibility to it's managers located across the country who are in direct interaction with the customers.

This represents a decentralized structure of organizational hierarchy form.

iragen [17]

Answer:

equipment    3,700

Explanation:

First we calcualte the values of the machine given up:

<u>traded-out assets</u>

purchased  23000

depreciation <u>20,000 </u>

book value   3,000

fair value   5,000

gain on disposal   2,000

This gain would be recognzie if there was commercial substance. In this case we don't have commercial substance. So it is deffered.

Value given up forthe new equipment:

cash                   700

traded-out        <u>5,000 </u>

total value         5,700

We subtract the deffered gain on disposal to get the accounting value for the new equipment:

deferred gain       (2,000)

accounting value 3,700

The machine will enter the accounting with 3,700

journal entry

equipment    3,700

acc del        20,000

   equipment            23,000

  cash                             700

Mikhail's claim has been denied once. Now, he is writing a second persuasive claim message to his digital media services company
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

a) Appeal to the receiver's sense of responsibility and pride in the company's good name

Explanation:

Persuasive messages refer to communicating an idea so as to persuade the recipient towards an action.

Such messages are usually drafted by sales and marketing personnel.

While drafting a persuasive message, AIDA (Attention, interest, desire and action) principle is usually followed by the marketers.

In the given case, Mikhail's claim has already been denied once and he is drafting the second persuasive message. As he expects resistance from the media company, he should draw the attention of the recipient towards their own responsibilities and duties and pride relating to the good reputation of the company.

He may choose to express, what the receiver's responsibility and duties are and how non performance of those puts the company's reputation (pride) at stake.
