John Kotter’s theory for leading can help business staffs to
improve their performance especially in completing assignments and improving
teamwork. His theory centers on eight
steps:
1.
Creating urgency to spur change.
2.
Forming a powerful coalition from people of
diverse talents.
3.
Make a vision of change that would inspire and
rally your group.
4.
Communicate that vision so that all of you
understand what needs to be done.
5.
Remove obstacles that would impede your goals.
6.
Create short-term wins that would help in the
short run but will contribute in the long run.
7.
Build on change while the momentum is there.
8.
Anchor that change as a model for others to
follow.
Answer:
They should operate Mine 1 for 1 hour and Mine 2 for 3 hours to meet the contractual obligations and minimize cost.
Explanation:
The formulation of the linear programming is:
Objective function:
Restrictions:
- High-grade ore: 
- Medium-grade ore: 
- Low-grade ore: 
- No negative hours: 
We start graphing the restrictions in a M1-M2 plane.
In the figure attached, we have the feasible region, where all the restrictions are validated, and the four points of intersection of 2 restrictions.
In one of this four points lies the minimum cost.
Graphically, we can graph the cost function over this feasible region, with different cost levels. When the line cost intersects one of the four points with the lowest level of cost, this is the optimum combination.
(NOTE: it is best to start with a low guessing of the cost and going up until it reaches one point in the feasible region).
The solution is for the point (M1=1, M2=3), with a cost of C=$680.
The cost function graph is attached.
The price elasticity of supply is a measure used in economics to show the responsiveness, or elasticity, of the quantity supplied of a good or service to a change in its price.
Answer:
Debit Cash account $16,800
Credit Unearned Subscription Revenue $16,800
Explanation:
When a fee is received in advance for a service yet to be rendered, the revenue for such fee is said to be unearned. The entries required are
Debit Cash account and Credit Unearned fees or deferred revenue.
As the service is performed and the revenue is earned, debit Unearned fees and credit revenue.
Total amount received
= $20 * 8400
= $16800
