Answer:
Handpicking is more cost effective (at $12 per hour for 120 pounds).
Explanation:
Information given;
Handpicking yields 80 pounds per hour while
Mechanical pickers yield 120 pounds per hour
Wage rate of human pickers = $8 per hour
Mechanical picker rate = $15 per hour
For the human picker to pick 120 pounds,
Time required = 120/80
= 1.5 hours
If the human pickers are paid at $8 per hour
then wage to be paid in 1.5 hours = 1.5 × 8
= $12
From the above analysis, cost incurred on machine pickers for 120 pounds per hour is $15 while the cost incurred on human pickers is $12. Hence the human pickers are more cost effective.
Answer:
I. The least preferred co-worker (LPC) questionnaire.
II. The situational leadership theory (SLT).
III. Fiedler contingency model.
IV. Path-goal theory.
Explanation:
A leader can be defined as an individual who is saddled with the responsibility of controlling, managing and maintaining a group of people under him or her.
Some types of power expressed by leaders are referent power, coercive, etc.
Generally, managers are typically involved in taking up leadership roles and as such are expected to be build a strong relationship between their employees or subordinates by creating a fair ground for effective communication and sharing of resources and information.
I. The least preferred co-worker (LPC) questionnaire: identifies leadership style by measuring whether a person is task oriented or relationship oriented.
II. The situational leadership theory (SLT): states that successful leadership depends on selecting the right leadership style contingent on the follower’s readiness.
III. Fiedler contingency model: proposes that effective group performance depends on the proper match between the leader’s style and the degree to which the situation gives the leader control.
IV. Path-goal theory: suggests that it’s the leader’s job to provide followers with information, support, or other resources necessary to achieve goals
Answer:
a
b
d
Explanation:
Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year
GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export
Net export = exports – imports
When exports exceed import there is a trade deficit and when import exceeds import, there is a trade surplus.
Items not included in the calculation off GDP includes:
1. services not rendered to oneself
2. Activities not reported to the government
3. illegal activities
4. sale or purchase of used products
5. sale or purchase of intermediate products
6. quality of goods and services
7. externalities
The car parts produced in the US would be added to GDP as parts of exports
Answer:
Option B has a higher present value at time zero is correct
as shown below:
Option A future value at the end of three years = 2000*(1.06)^2+5000*(1.06)^1+5000*(1.06)^0= $12,547
Option B future value at the end of three years = 4000*(1.06)^2+4000*(1.06)^1+4000*(1.06)^0=$12,734
Option B has higher future value as determined above, so first option is wrong.
Option A present value at time zero = 2000/(1.06)^1+5000/(1.06)^2+5000/(1.06)^3= $10,535
Option B present value at time zero = 4000/(1.06)^1+4000/(1.06)^2+4000/(1.06)^3=$10,692
Option B has higher present value as determined above, so second option is correct.
Third option is wrong as Option B is not perpetuity as B has three years life.
Fourth option is wrong as Option A is not ANNUITY as A CASH FLOW amounts is not equal , it varies on annual basis.
