Correct option is (d)
Explanation:
Capacity refers to the amount of goods that a plant or organization can produce. Maximum capacity refers to the total number of goods produced at maximum efficiency.
In this case, Joe's plant could produce 1,000 items if all conditions are met, which means when the plant is at its highest efficiency. This states the maximum capacity of the plant.
Answer: Option A
Explanation: The basic organisational structure and several different characteristics prevailing in a business environment together constitutes a market structure. In an oligopolistic there are very few large firms which dominate the market, for example - auto industry.
As firms in the oligopolistic market are very high this results in high concentration in the market. Each firm in this market structure operates in so large scale that actions of one affects the operations of others.
Usually the capital need in such industries is too large making it difficult to entry also the need for several licenses acts as barriers to entry but there is no such thing like NO ENTRY in such industries.
Answer:
7 workers will be required
Explanation:
We will define actual time required to do a job
= Standard time required for producing each unit x Worker efficiency (%)/100
= 11.65 x 115/100
= 13.3975 minutes
Total available minutes in 4 days = 4 days x 8 hours/ day x 60 minutes / day = 1920 minutes
Therefore ,
Number of units which can be produced by 1 worker in 4 days = 1920 /13.3975
Number of units to be produced = 1000 units
Therefore,
Number of workers required
= Number of units to be produced / Number of units which can be produced by 1 worker in 4 days
= 1000 x ( 13.3975 /1920)
= 6.977 ( 7 rounded to nearest whole number )
Answer:
change management is the most important skill that human resource personnel contribute.
Explanation:
Elaboration stage of an organisation is also called the maturity stage. It is characterised by different units being involved in making decisions.
This slows down speed of decision making.
At this stage there is a need for revitalisation and change in order to make the organisation more efficient.
Change management is the process by which employees in an organisation are prepared and supported when there are far reaching improvements to organisation structure.
It ensures a smooth transition by providing needed information and reducing the stress associated with organisational change.
This is a key skill needed by human resource personnel fusing the elaboration stage
As long as the marginal benefits are higher than the marginal costs you are better off continuing the activity.
Consider the example of eating pizza. Each slice of pizza gives you happiness and helps fill you up (marginal benefit), but each slice also has lots of calories and fat (marginal cost). As long as you are still hungry and getting enjoyment from eating, you should keep eating. But once you reach the point where you are too full then you should stop, because the costs now outweigh the benefits.
