Dan Pink argues that for 21st century tasks in creative businesses the mechanistic, reward-and-punishment approach will not work

Ber [7]

Answer: True

Explanation:

This statement is true. Dan Pink argued that when it came to creative businesses, it would be best to use intrinsic as opposed to extrinsic rewards to encourage employees as extrinsic rewards such as money could constrain creativity.

Intrinsic rewards are those that are psychologically rewarding such as giving employees tasks that are fulfilling and make them feel part of the team as well as positive feedback from employers.

Information technology has advanced dramatically within the last 25 years or so. At the same time there have been significant sh

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

Did the technology push the changes in the world, or was it the other way around? What evidence is opinion based upon or how did you draw your conclusions?

In my opinion the world started to change during the 1970s when Steve Jobs introduced the personal computer. Before him, only huge corporations could afford computers since they were huge and costed millions. Since then, information technology (IT) has increased in gigantic steps and when the internet was available for public use, the world as we know it changed.

When the world was struggling again during the great recession, my hero came back and changed the way IT industry again with the iPhone and the whole app culture. I am a little over 25, and I can tell that everything was very different when I was a small kid. You actually needed to read a newspaper and use encyclopedias (very large books).

Now everything is on the web and now most of us are even working using the internet. In just seconds we know what is happening in China or any other country in the world, while before all we heard about China was that were many Chinese and they were communists. IT has enabled whole new industries that boost the economy much more than any other manufacturing business ever had. The world would be a much different place if it wasn't for the Apple I, the internet or the iPhone.

Jefferson Co. uses the following standard to produce a single unit of its product: Variable overhead $6 (2 hrs. per unit @ $3/hr

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

B. 6,000U

Explanation:

The total variable overhead variance shall be calculated using the following formula:

Variable overhead variance=(Actual units produced*Standard hours per unit* Standard rate per hour) - (Actual variable production overhead cost of actual production)

Standard rate per hour=$3

Standard hours per unit=2

Actual units produced=24,000

Actual variable production overhead cost of actual production=$150,000

Variable overhead variance=(24,000*2*3-150,000)

=(144,000-150,000)

=$6,000U

So the answer is B. 6,000U

Martinez Manufacturing applies overhead based on direct labor hours. The company estimates that their overhead for the year will

aev [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is C: underapplied by $2,500

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Martinez Manufacturing applies overhead based on direct labor hours.

The company estimates that their overhead for the year will be $180,000 and that they will use 72,000 direct labor hours.

During the year, Martinez Manufacturing used 75,000 direct labor hours and actual overhead costs were $190,000

We need to calculate if the overhead was under or over applied and in what amount.

Predetermined overhead rate= total estimated manufacturing overhead for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined overhead rate= 180000/72000= $2.5 an hour

Now, we can calculate the amount of overhead allocated:

Overhead allocated= 75000 hours*2.5= $187,500

Over/under applied= actual overhead - allocated overhead= 190,000 - 185,500= $2,500 underapplied
