Jim is the daytime supervisor for an automobile assembly line. He supervises 45 people who perform relatively routine jobs that

require minimal training. The shop is unionized, so Jim has little latitude when it comes to dismissing poor performers. However, he does have the authority to transfer employees and has been known to reassign poor performers to less desirable jobs on the assembly line. Jim has a reputation for only transferring employees with just cause, and generally is viewed as a fair supervisor by his employees. Although he would like greater autonomy to determine salaries, Jim generally divides bonuses and raises equally among his employees. To do otherwise would likely create conflict with union members and representatives. According to Fiedler’s model, what would the task structure of Jim’s employees be considered?

Answer:

It would be considered as high, or structured.  

Explanation:

Fiedler’s model that is referred to here, refers to Fiedler’s contingency model, which classifies leadership styles according to several variables. These variables are task structures, leader-member relations, and leader position power. Each of these variables, when combined, create a unique leadership style that a person should use when faced with these situations.

In the case of Jim, it is clear that his employees’ work is highly structured, since they work in an assembly line, and thus each person has clearly defined roles and responsibilities, as well as output that they have to reach.

Suppose two cities are considering tearing down their stadiums to build new ones. In one city, the old stadium cost $5 million t
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

These are the options for the question:

A. They should be more willing to tear down the $5 million stadium, because it cost less to build.

B. They should be more willing to tear down the $50 million stadium, because it cost more to build.

C. The cost to build the old stadium shouldn’t be considered.

And this is the correct answer:

A. They should be more willing to tear down the $5 million stadium, because it cost less to build.

Explanation:

City A will likely be more willing to tear down its old stadium because it costed $5 million to build. City B, on the other hand, will have to think twice because a stadium that costed $50 billion to build could have more value than it seems, or the City could simply not have enough money to build a better new stadium (something that would probably cost more than $50 billion to do).

Auto Parts is considering a merger with Car Parts. Car Parts market-determined beta is 0.9, and the firm currently is financed w
kvasek [131]

Answer: 9.7%

Explanation:

Given Data

Rf = Risk free return = 6%,

Rpm = Risk premium = 4%,

Beta = 0.9

Wd = Debt = 20%

rd = cost of debt = 8%

We = equity = 80%

Re = Rf + Beta (Rpm)

= 0.06 +0.9 (0.04)

= 0.096 * 100

= 9.6%

Unlevered Equity Cost ;

ReU= Wd × rd + We × re

= 0.20 × 8% + 0.80 × 9.6%

= 9.28%

Levered Equity Cost:

New Debt = 60%,

New Equity = 40%,

New rd = 9%

ReL = ReU + (ReU - rd) (D ÷ E)

= 9.28% + (9.28% - 9%) (0.60 ÷ 0.40)

= 0.097 * 100

= 9.7%

Vijay Company reports the following information regarding its production costs. Direct materials $9.60 per unit Direct labor $19
solong [7]

Answer:

Unitary cost= $46.4 per unit

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Direct materials $9.60 per unit

Direct labor $19.60 per unit

Overhead costs for the year:

Variable overhead $9.60 per unit

Fixed overhead $121,600

Units produced 16,000 units

Under absorption costing, the fixed overhead is allocated to the cost of the product. Therefore, we need to calculate the unitary fixed overhead.

Unitary fixed overhead= 121,600/16,000= $7.6

Now, we can calculate the unitary cost of production:

Unitary cost= direct material + direct labor + total overhead

Unitary cost= 9.6 + 19.6 + 9.6 + 7.6= $46.4 per unit
