Answer:
Authority - Responsibility Balance & Incentive Development.
Explanation:
Authority refers to the power to command, give orders to somebody. And enjoying the position of having right to get it obeyed.
Responsibility refers to being in a position of accountability, answerability for an allocated task or job & its performance.
For Eg : A manager given responsibility to complete a task of production targets achievement, is also given authority to command the entire staff at the production site.
Joe had problem while working for someone else that :- he had responsibility to complete employers allocated task, but may be not given enough authority to do so, thats why he felt he is being 'commanded by, working for' someone else. Also, he doesn't owe the rewards of his acts, so lacks incentive.
Being an entrepreneur will entitle him with managerial responsibilities, but at the same time will also give him higher authority to take his own independent decisions. And, he is himself responsible for his acts, will bear losses or enjoy profits for himself. So, it also incentivises him to work for himself.
Answer:
Amount of cash paid on Aug 16 = <u>$8,167.50</u>
Explanation:
As for the information provided the terms of purchase are,
1% discount if payment made within 10 days,
and a total credit period of 30 days without any discount beyond 10 days.
Here, inventory purchased on August 7 = $9,750
Less; Return on 11 August = $1,500
Net Purchases = $8,250
Since payment is made on 16 August that is within 10 days from purchase discount will be received
= $8,250
1% = $82.50
Amount of cash paid on Aug 16 = $8,250 - $82.50 = $8,167.50
Answer:
a) $3
b) $2
c) 1449
Explanation:
Given:
The cost for a carton of milk = $3
Selling price for a carton of milk = $5
Salvage value = $0 [since When the milk expires, it is thrown out ]3
Mean of historical monthly demand = 1,500
Standard deviation = 200
Now,
a) cost of overstocking = Cost for a carton of milk - Salvage value
= $3 - $0
= $3
cost of under-stocking = Selling price - cost for a carton of milk
= $5 - $3
= $2
b) critical ratio =
or
critical ratio =
or
critical ratio = 0.4
c) optimal quantity of milk cartons = Mean + ( z × standard deviation )
here, z is the z-score for the critical ration of 0.4
we know
z-score(0.4) = -0.253
thus,
optimal quantity of milk cartons = 1,500 + ( -0.253 × 200 )
= 1500 - 50.6
= 1449.4 ≈ 1449 units
