Which of the following communication methods would Phil be most comfortable with?As a manager, you want to praise a team member,

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

The best option would be;

A. Call Phil in for a private meeting to appreciate his work

Explanation:

Communication is very important in a company set up since information can be passed between employees of a company. The money in which the information is passed is also important, and usually depends on a variety of factors. These factors differ from one company to another, and therefor one needs to choose wisely the manner in which he/she is to communicate.

One factor that will be considered is the personality of the person that this particular information is to be passed. The information is to be passed in a manner that is respectful and doesn't cause any discomfort or embarrassment to the recipient. In our case, the team member, Phil, is an introvert. Introverts are generally people who keep to themselves a lot and have a dislike of publicity. This means that any option which will make Phil a public figure in the work place would not be well appreciated by Phil.

The best option will therefor be to call Phil in for a private meeting to appreciate his work. This will make Phil feel respected and appreciated while at the same time will not make him uncomfortable by exposing him to the public.

Neoclassical Model of Investment" (1 point): In class, we discussed the idea of net investment, and how it could change in respo

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

Take Note that the model has following relationship between investment and factors that affect it

Int = F(Ye, it, d, πe, tc, Kt-1)

Net investment is a function of

Expected output (Ye),

Rental or user cost of capital (such as nominal interest rate it),

Expected inflation (πe),

Corporate tax/ investment tax credit,

Existing stock of capital

For a given stock of capital,

A rise in expected output (Ye), increases investment

A rise in expected inflation (πe) increases investment

A rise in the investment tax credit increases investment.

A rise in nominal/real rate of interest decreases investment

A rise in corporate income tax decreases net investment

(a) Anti-inflationary monetary policy raises the real interest rate (r ↑). As mentioned, it will depress net investment as firms have to pay a higher rate of interest on the investment made. Such policy increases rental cost of capital and it will decrease the desired capital stock.

b) An earthquake destroys part of the capital stock (K ↓). This will reduce net investment, increases rental cost of capital and it will decrease the desired capital stock.

(c) Immigration of foreign workers increases the size of the labor force (L ↑). With more workers to share the capital stock, marginal producivity of capital rises and so net investment increases. This decreases rental cost of capital and it will increase the desired capital stock.

(d) Advances in computer technology make production more efficient (A ). This causes the net investment to increase as the marginal productivity of capital will increase. This decreases rental cost of capital and it will increase the desired capital stock.
