Stereotype threat

Stereotype refers to preconceived perspective about a particular people or group. Stereotype threat, coined by Claude Steele and Joshua Aronson, refers to a way a person behaves that tend to confirms the negative stereotype about a particular race, gender and others. In Kristen's case the added stress generated by her anxiety about the Algebra II test as a result of the supposedly tough teacher coupled with the preconceived notion that girls are not good in math may lead to her actually failing the test or performing badly.

Answer:
$ 44000
Explanation:
Given:
Actual overhead manufacturing cost, Ac = $ 352000
Actual direct labor hours, Ah = 56000
Estimated manufacturing overhead cost, Ec = $ 330000
Estimated direct labor hour, Eh = 60000
Now,
Predetermined Overhead Rate = Ec/Eh
on substituting the values in the above formula we get
= $ 330000/60000 = 5.5
also,
Underapplied Overhead = Ac + (Ah × Predetermined Overhead Rate)
on substituting the values in the above formula we get
Underapplied Overhead = 352000 - (56000 × 5.5)
or
Underapplied Overhead = $ 44000
The vice-president of HR for Health Wizard, Inc. is designing a performance appraisal system that includes subordinate ratings of their supervisors.The supervisors are concerned about this and have raised all of the following objections EXCEPT (d) the concern that they will be rated on how nice they are to subordinates rather than their true supervisory performance
Explanation:
The rating of the sub-ordinates by their supervisors can not be considered as a perfect way for performance appraisal because it will be over-focused on the behavior of the sub-ordinate with their supervisors rather than the on the job performance.
The sub-ordinates who follow all the commands of their supervisors will be rated high rather than those who perform well on the task given to them
So the answer to the above question is (d) the concern that they will be rated on how nice they are to subordinates rather than their true supervisory performance
