The country of Baurisia has, until now, been self-sufficient in both grain and meat. However, with growing prosperity in Baurisi

a has come a steadily increasing per capita consumption of meat, and it takes several pounds of grain to produce one pound of meat. Therefore, since per capita income in Baurisia is almost certain to rise further but increases in domestic grain production are highly unlikely, Baurisia is soon likely to become an importer of grain.Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?A) When people increase their consumption of meat, they also tend to increase their consumption of grain.B) The per capita consumption of meat in Baurisia is roughly the same accross all income levels.C) Per capita consumption of meat has not increased substantially in recent years in those countries from which Baurisia is likely to import meat.D) It is more economical for Baurisians to import meat than grain.E) During Baurisia's years of growing prosperity, the country's population has remained relatively stable.

Answer:

D) It is more economical for Baurisians to import meat than grain.

Explanation:

The argument states that meat consumption in Baurisia is steadily increasing while domestic production is not.

There are two alternatives:

  1. import more grains to feed more animals and produce more meat (the argument favors this option),
  2. or simply import more meat.

But if importing meat is cheaper than importing grains, then there is no need to import more grains in order to feed animals and later get meat from them, you just simply and directly import meat.

There is conflict and distrust in the team. Glen, the team leader, doesn't think the team members are working enough. The team members, on the other hand, don't think Glen trusts them to do their jobs. You want to resolve this conflict and make sure it doesn't happen again-<u>This can be achieved by using Conflict Management technique</u>

<u>1) Understand the situation. </u>

Understanding/listening  both the side of the story before resolving the conflict is very important

<u>2) Acknowledge the problem. </u>

Acknowledging the frustration and concerns of the employees is an important step in resolving the conflict. what might seems to be a small problem to an employee may be a big problem for another person

<u> 3)Be patient while making decision. </u>

Information evaluation require time.Do not take any decision related to conflict management quickly,try to understand and resolve the situation.

<u>4)Avoid using coercion and intimidation. </u>

Emotional outbursts or coercing people may stop the problem temporarily, but do not fool yourself into thinking it is a long-term solution. Odds are the problem will resurface. At that point not only will you have the initial problem to deal with, but also the angry feelings that have festered below the surface during the interim.

<u>5) Focus on the problem, not the individual. </u>

Most people are known to be a  “problematic individual” during their work but one must avoid their  own pre-conceived notion or attitude about individuals and should focus on problem resolution.

Allow both the parties to keep their points on the conflict and then try to identify the real cause of conflict.

<u> 8. Act decisively. </u>

Communicating  to all the parties involved, and reviewed all the circumstances, and then take  your decision and act. Don’t leave the issue in limbo.

8_murik_8 [283]

Explanation:

Labor productivity is measures the hourly output of a country's economy. Specifically, it charts the amount of real gross domestic product (GDP) produced by an hour of labor.

total labor hours = 25milion x 36 hours per week

                            = 900 million

labor productivity = GDP ÷ total labor hours

labor productivity = $1,200 billion ÷ 900 million

Which of the following is a condition necessary to exclude an obligation from current liabilities? Entry field with incorrect an
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

The answer is: Obligation that has a distant due date exceeding company's operating cycle.  

Explanation:

A current liability is a financial obligation due within one year (or one normal operation cycle).

So a financial obligation that has a due date that exceeds a company´s operating cycle should have been directly classified as a long term liability (or a non current liability) in the first place. It simply is not a current liability that is changed into a long term liability, it always was a long term liability.

The other options represent the steps necessary for turning a current liability into a long term liability.

  1. Intend to refinance the obligation on a long-term basis.
  2. Demonstrate the ability to complete the refinancing.
  3. Subsequently refinance the obligation on a long-term basis.
