Answer:
The famous study which asked employees to rank a list of job related factors in order of what motivates them most was introduced and supervised by Federick Herzberg.
Explanation:
Federick Herzberg was an american psychologist ( clinical psychologist ) , who was know to be a great thinker of management and motivational theories. He was the one who introduced the concept of job enrichment and gave the two factory theory of job satisfaction ( also know as motivation - hygiene theory ) , according to which employees or people in general are influenced by two factors - motivation and hygiene.
Where if the hygiene factor is not present in the work environment than it can lower motivation and motivational factors are the ones which can increase an employees motivation.
Total cost for the trip = $800.
Let x = original number of friends.
Therefore the equally shared cost of the trip for each friend is $800/x.
After 2 friends drop out, the cost for each friend increases to $800/(x-2).
The increase in cost for each remaining friend is $20, therefore

Divide through by 20.

Cross multiply.
x(x - 2) = 80
x² - 2x - 80 = 0
(x + 8)(x - 10) = 0
x = -8 or 10
Reject x = -8 because we cannot have a negative number for friends.
x = 10
Answer: There were 10 friends in the original group.

Answer:
Option 2 should be selected
Explanation:
Using a rational approach which option most benefit and have a minimum cost. We will use the break-even level here to decide which option should be selected.
Option 1
Price per call = $30
Variable cost per call = $18
Contribution = Sales - Variable cost = $30 - $18 = $12
Fixed Cost = $15,000
Break-even point = Fixed cost / Contribution per call = $15,000 / $12 = 1,250 calls
Option 2
Price per call = $30
Variable cost per call = $18 + ( $30 x 10% ) = $18 + $3 = $21
Contribution = Sales - Variable cost = $30 - $21 = $9
Fixed Cost = $9,000
Break-even point = Fixed cost / Contribution per call = $9,000 / $9 = 1,000 calls
Difference = 1,250 calls - 1,000 calls = 250 calls
Option 2 is better option because it take 250 less calls to reach at break-even in the month. It should be selected.

Explanation:
We need to recalcualte the desired ending inventory
as currently they are calcualte at 20% and we want it at 25% we do cross multiplication
Jan: 7,540 / 20 x 25 = 9,425
We divide by 20 to get the value of a single percent f sales and then we multiply to 25 as it is our desired amount
Feb: 6,500 / 20 x 25 = 8,125
March: 2,770 / 20 x 25 = 3,462.5
Next we adjsut6 the beginning inventory for January as it is 2,770 instead of 4,900 and we can determiante the production budget need for the quarter
