Answer:
a) employees can be motivated by open communication.
Explanation:
The answer is that Howie does not realize that employees can be motivated by open communication because by asking employees suggestions as to how jobs could be restructured to improve productivity, John Noble is trying to have a direct communication allowing employees to express their thoughts which will make them feel as part of the company and valued which will result in them feeling motivated to perform well in their job.
The other options are not right because employees won't be giving their opinions thinking on equity and ways to simplify job tasks are not the only suggestions that employees can provide.
Answer:
$87 million
Explanation:
The projected benefit obligation (PBO) is a measurement of the present amount of money needed by a company to cover future pension liabilities. PBO uses how long the employee will work and any increased future obligations to the employee's pension.
Given that:
PBO at the beginning of the year = $80 million
Service cost for the year = $10 million
Interest = Discount rate × PBO at beginning of the year = 5% × $80 million = 0.05 × $80 million = $4 million
Actuarial (gain) Loss = Amount paid - Expected money = $5 million - $4 million = $1 million
Benefits paid paid by trustees = $6 million
The total pension expense for the year = PBO at year beginning + Service cost + interest - Actuarial (gain) Loss - benefits = $80 million + $10 million + $4 million - $1 million - $6 million = $87 million
Answer:
(a)
For Job G15:
Direct labor = $20,000
Overhead applied = 16,000
Overhead rate = 
= 0.8 × 100
= 80%
Overhead applied = Direct labor × 80%
= $20,000 × 80%
= $16,000
Overhead is applied on direct labor. Hence, rate is 80%.
Overhead for Job B10 = Direct labor × 80%
= $54,000 × 80%
= $43,200
Therefore,
Total overhead applied = $43,200 + 45,750 + 16,000
= $104,950
(b) Hence,
Overapplied overhead for February:
= Total overhead applied - Actual Overhead
= $104,950 - $68,500
= $36,450
Answer:
B) sample averages
Explanation:
The sampling distribution of the mean is the average of the population obtained from the sample. It shows the patterns that the sample mean (or average) tends to follow. If the population distribution is normal, then the sampling distribution of the mean should follow the same pattern for all the samples obtained from the population. The mean or average of the sampling distribution should equal the population mean.
