Answer:

Here are the possible answers:

a) making the best possible ethical choice.

b) going to make a terrific President of the United States some day.

c) none of these.

d) ultimately going to be rewarded by having the most profitable car

The answer is: c) none of these.

Explanation:

Ethics in industries related to manufacturing things that are of critical importance to public safety and security is very important.

The behavior of a manager like Lee is deemed as highly unethical, as he puts the marketing and design need in front of an essential need such as safety compliance.

Regardless of the ethics perspective, it is also irrelevant to state that this kind of car would be the most profitable. That could be possibly true in the short-run (due to intensive design and marketing efforts), but on the other hand, a critical dose of bad PR when an accident occurs (due to low safety improvement efforts) can be devastating for the company's profit in the long run.

Answer:

Theory X.

Explanation:

In this scenario, Groovy Rags, a trendy retail store, manager Eon Forcer doesn't waste any time thinking about whether the employees on his shift get their breaks at a reasonable time. In fact, he claims he is hard pressed to determine which one has "worked hard enough" to even deserve a break. Earlier today, Eon remarked, "I've never met one that likes this job! They're only biding their time and here for the money." Eon's managerial style would be classified as Theory X.

Douglas McGregor developed the theory x and y in the 1950s while working at the MIT Sloan school of management.

Theory X suggests that employees working in a particular organization dislike work, possess minimal ambition, and are generally not willing to take up responsibility.

Hence, with the Theory X it is very important and essential that these employees be supervised and rewarded externally with prizes and punishment should be used when they err.

The Coase theorem states that A) the private sector will fail to produce the efficient amount of a public good because of the fr
Sonja [21]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

One of the problems in economics is the allocation of goods in the presence of externalities. When externalities are present allocation of goods in private market won't be efficient because private parties won't internalize them and would arrive to an inefficient outcome. For many years this was an argument in favor of government intervention.

However, Ronald Coase showed that assigning property rights of the externality to one of the private parties (no matter which one) would result in an efficient outcome. This is because  the parties with the property right would then internalize the cost. Then in the bargaining process private parties would reach an efficient outcome without the intervention of the government.

A company bases its predetermined overhead rate on direct labor cost. For next year, total factory overhead cost is estimated at
AlekseyPX

Answer:

Allocated MOH= $18,750

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The estimated total factory overhead= $300,000

Total estimated direct labor cost= $240,000.

The actual direct labor cost was $15,000.

First, we need to calculate the estimated overhead rate based on direct labor cost. Then, we can allocate overhead.

To calculate the estimated manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 300,000/240,000= $1.25 per direct labor dollar

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Allocated MOH= 1.25*15,000

Allocated MOH= $18,750
