Situational leadership theories grew out of an attempt to explain the inconsistent findings about traits and styles. Situational

theories propose that the effectiveness of a particular style of leader behavior depends on the situation. One situational leadership theory is the Path-Goal Theory.

The goal of this exercise is to challenge your knowledge of the eight leadership styles in the revised path-goal theory. Select the appropriate path-goal leader behavior for each scenario.
1. Supportive behaviors
2. Path-goal clarifying behaviors
3. Value-based behaviors
4. Work facilitation behaviors
5. Representation and networking behaviors

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

a. Asarta Inc. could pay the fishermen $8,500 and keep polluting  

Explanation:

The fishermen sell the fish for $8,000 a year at local market.

Blababa [14]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the predetermined overhead rate is shown below:

For Cutting department

= Variable manufacturing overhead per machine hour + (Total fixed manufacturing overhead ÷ machine hours)

= $2 + ($264,000 ÷ 48,000)

= $2 + $5.50

= $7.50

For finishing department

= Variable manufacturing overhead per direct labour + (Total fixed manufacturing overhead ÷ direct labor hours)

= $4 + ($366,000 ÷ 30,000)

= $4 + $12.20

= $16.20

kvasek [131]

Answer:

Net Income = $28,070

Explanation:

As for the provided details:

Balances as on December 31, 2014

Cash = $70,050

Accounts Receivables = $40,000

Inventory = $77,000

Total Assets = $187,050

Accounts Payable = $13,600

Note Payable = $3,400

Interest payable = $180

Total Liabilities = $17,180

Common Stock = $70,900 + $70,900 = $141,800

Retained earnings = $28,070

Total Stockholder's Equity = $169,870

Total of Equity and Liabilities = $187,050

Now, since it is the first year of operations, the balance of retained earnings in beginning = $0.

Also no dividend is paid, therefore, net income for the year shall be

Opening Retained Earnings + Net Income - Dividend = Closing Retained Earnings

$0 + Net Income - $0 = $28,070

Thus, Net Income = $28,070
