Answer:

Salary and Commission compensation benefit has its pros and cons. However, The Company that adopts Salary Compensation benefit might be making a mistake.

Explanation:

If you pay salesmen a straight salary, some may have limited motivation to exceed basic expectations. However, commission based remuneration is pro performance in that drive salesmen to set more aggressive goals, work through obstacles and rejection to meet their target for a particular period.

Businesses that pay fixed salaries incur higher overhead costs because you have to pay whether you are making profits or not. But the case is different in Commission based compensation benefit where the risk is shared and commission is only paid when money is made.

Answer:The firm who pays on fixed salary is making a mistake.

Explanation: A compensation plan this is the total package which shows details of an employee's salary, wage, terms of payment, and benefits. They also includes comission and bonuses to be paid to employees.

Both firms have different compensation plans, for their ‘salesperson’. firm A would benefit more from paying a commission to their employees because this means they would only have to pay the employee if there is a sale ( or for job done.). This cancels the need to pay employee's for work which does not result in sales. Unlike Firm B who operates on a fixed salaries which translates to having to pay employee's salary even when they are not productive.

A cafeteria buys muffins daily. Demand varies Uniformly between 30 and 50 muffins per day. The cafeteria pays $.20 per muffin an
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

The optimal stocking level is 45 muffins.

Explanation:

First we have to calculate the Overage cost Co = Purchase price - Salvage value = $0.2 - 0 = $0.2

Then the Underage cost Cu = Selling price - Purchase price =$0.80 - $0.2 = $0.60

Service level = Cu / (Cu + Co) = $0.60/($0.60+$0.2) = $0.75

Hence, optimal stocking level = Minimum demand + Service level *(Maximum demand - Minimum demand)

optimal stocking level = 30 + 0.75*(50-30) = 45

The optimal stocking level is 45 muffins.

Optimal stocking level = 68.75 Muffins

A consumer has a choice of spending $20,000 on a Honda or $14,000 on a Kia. She was observed buying a Kia during the weekend. Do
max2010maxim [7]

Answer: Not necessarily

Explanation:

Consumer purchase decisions are dependent on multiple factors such as price, income and preference. It could be that the customer purchased the Kia because the price was less than that of the Honda and so she wanted to save and costs and bought the less expensive choice.

It could also mean that the Kia was all she could afford based on her income so she bought that. It could however also mean that the Kia is her preference as compared to the Honda so she chose that instead.

It is therefore not a foregone conclusion that she bought the Kia simply because she preferred it. More information would be needed to reach that conclusion definitively.
