People who are high on authoritarianism do not do well
____ [38]

Answer:

(D) In organizations where employees expect clear directions.

Explanation:

Authoritarianism is coined from the word "authority". Authoritarianism is a system of ruling whereby the leader (Authoritative person or Dictator) gives all orders and doesn't expect to be questioned or argued with.

In organizations where employees expect clear directions, people who are high on authoritarianism will not do well, since they could switch orders indefinitely and expect no one to argue with them.

An authoritative boss could say that members of a department should submit their files to his desk by 3pm and then change his mind an hour to the deadline and send a new instruction that those employees should gather for a meeting (without their files) by 3pm.

Such confusion will impede the smooth running of day-to-day activities in that organization; especially as no one challenges the leader.

On January 1, 2018, Burleson Corporation’s projected benefit obligation was $48 million. During 2018 pension benefits paid by th
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

$59.8 million.

Explanation:

At the beginning of the year, the Projected Benefit Obligation (PBO) was $48 million, however, during the year this amount was affected by several factors that are explained in the problem statement: the service cost ($13 million), the interest costs (defined by a discount rate of 10%) and the pension benefits paid by the company ($6 million).

To understand how it was modified exactly, first, we will do a theoretical analysis and then present it more <em>graphically</em> as a financial statement.

1. Theoretical analysis

Firstly, a Projected Benefit Obligation (PBO) is a measure that reflects how much a company needs at the present time (December 31, 2018) to cover future pension liabilities. We know that the year began with a PBO of $48 million. However, this amount must be added to the service costs ($13 million), which is the increase in the present value of the liabilities, because the employees have completed another year in the company and that implies an increase in their pension credit.  

Therefore, so far, the PBO at December 31, 2018 is $61 million. To this amount must be added the interest cost which is the annual interest amount on the unpaid balance of the PBO. In this case, an interest rate of 10% is handled. Therefore the amount of interest is equal to $48 million (original PBO) * 10% = 4.8 million.

So far, the PBO at December 31, 2018 is $61 + $4.8 = $65.8 million

Finally, the pension benefits paid by the trustee during 2018 should be subtracted, since they are a partial payment of the PBO.

Therefore, we have: $65.8 - $6 = $59.8

2. As a financial statement.
