Answer:

This question is about Schien's common elements of an organization. Schien proposed four common elements of an organization.

The explanation of this question is given below in the explanation section.

Explanation:

Schein's four common elements of an organization include common purpose, coordinated effort, division of labor, and hierarchy of authority.

In this question, it is asked to identify these four common elements of an organization and some other terms related to the management of an organization.

(d) Common Purpose:

An organization without a clear purpose or mission soon begins to drift and become disorganized. Because a common purpose unifies members or employees and gives everyone an understanding of the organization’s direction and about its objectives. To communicate the common purpose across organizations is the responsibility of central management and central tasks for managers. Managers communicate this common purpose by educating all employees on general strategy, values, mission statement, and short and long term objectives of the organization.

(e) Coordinated effort: Individuals do make a difference, but they cannot do everything themselves. It involves working together in a way that maximizes the resources of an organization and achieving tasks and objectives effectively. The common purpose of coordinated effort is to achieve the objectives of the organization through the coordinated effort of all groups and individuals within an organization.

(f). Division of Labor: This results in great efficiency.

The division of labor is also known as work specification for greater efficiency. It involves dividing tasks among people and groups of an organization according to their best skill set. By systematically dividing complex tasks of achieving a particular objective into specialized jobs, an organization uses its human resources more efficiently.

(g). Hierarchy of authority: Without the right to direct the work of others, there is no coordination of effort. It is the control mechanism for making sure the right people do the right things at the right time in organization.

(h). Organizational Structure: This is linked with whether the structure is taller or flatter. Taller or vertical structure in an organization like one CEO directing the organization according to his best capabilities while flatter or horizontal structure of organization, involves fewer levels of management and more employee autonomy in the decision-making process.

(i) Manager responsibility: This has to do with having the rights associated with managerial tasks

(j)  Top Management: Top management is responsible for making important decisions in the organization.

The following is the sales budget for Coore, Inc., for the first quarter of 2019. January February March Sales budget $168,000 $
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

a. Sales for November = $192,666.67

b. Sales for December = $390,500

c. Cash collections for:

January = $216,200

February = $213,075

March = $191,750

Explanation:

First consider the following information:

Credit sales are collected as follows:

65% in the month of the sale

20% in the month after the sale

15% in the second month after the sale

a. To calculate sales for November, note that the account receivable balance at the end of the previous quarter is from the sales of the previous two months (November and December), of these sales, we are told that $78,100 is from December sales, therefore to calculate the amount from November sales = 107,000 - 78,100 = $28,900.

Next, we are told that the 15% of sales are collected is the second month following sales, and January is the second month following the November sales from the previous quarter, therefore, the $28,900 from the previous November sales is 15% of the original sales, and the original sale is calculated thus:

Let sale for November be N

15% of N = 28,900

15/100 × N = 28,900

0.15N = 28,900

∴ N = 28,900 ÷ 0.15 = $192,666.67 ( to 2 decimal places)

b. The $78,100 which was uncollected December sales is 20% of the original sales, since December is the one month away from the beginning of the new quarter, and 20% of sales is collected in the month following sales. Therefore December sales is calculated as follows:

Let December sales be D

20% of D = 78,100

0.20 × D = 78,100

∴ D = 78,100 ÷ 0.20 = $390,500

c.

i. Cash collections in January

from previous quarter = $107,000

from January's sales = 65% of January sales

= 0.65 × 168,000 = 109,200

Total cash collection in January = $216,200

ii. cash collections in February:

From December sales = 15% of December sales ( Fabruary is 2 months following December sales)

= 0.15 × 390,500 = $58,575

from January's sales = 20% of January sales (February is the month following January's sales)

= 0.20 × 168,000 = $33,600

from February's sale = 65% of February's sales

= 0.65 × 186,000 = $120,900

Total cash collections in February = 58,575 + 33,600 + 120,900 = $213,075

iii. Cash collections in March

From January's sale = 15% of January's sales

= 0.15 × 168,000 = $25,200

from February's sale = 20% of February's sale

= 0.20 × 186,000 = $37,200

From March's sale = 65% of March's sale

= 0.65 × 199,000 = $129,350

∴ Total cash collections for March = 25,200 + 37,200 + 129,350 = $191,750
