Answer:
A- Group think
Explanation:
In group think, bad decisions are often made because, rather than consider other alternatives, a group of people agree to a decision suggested by, in most cases, the most superior party in the room.
This form of thinking hides true opinions of other members of the group and though the decision is agreed upon, they could truly not want to be a part of the process.
In this scenario, there is an agreement with the Senior Executive on the plan of action however, nobody is interested in taking up the responsibility to follow through with the plan. This indicates a level of disagreement of other members with the plan regardless of the initially stated agreement with the plan.
Answer:
I agree with the owner of the company
Explanation:
The overall losses are $40,000 per month and the fixed costs are $30,000 per month.
The company should stop production because the losses are over fixed cost and this tells us that the company is not even able to recover the variable costs and because the variable costs are not at least recovered, there would be no point for the company to continue in the business as it would keep on making a loss and the logic might be wrong regarding sunk costs but the decision must be taken in favour where production should be stopped.
January and February are the 2 worst months to make a large profit by selling french fries. The most sold are during September and November. These months are much warmer than January and February.
Answer:
a. 2.13. b. (30.53, 34.79). c. The mean prices for two in mid-range restaurants in Hong Kong are relatively less than those in Tokyo restaurants.
Explanation:
The size of the sample is 42 and the mean of the sample is ∑
= 32.66 and the standard deviation of the sample (σ) is √[∑(
-μ)^2 - 1] = √46.6092 = 6.8271
a. α = 1 - (95/100) = 0.05; α/2 = 0.025; the degree of freedom = n-1 = 42-1 = 41; tα/2 = t0.025 = 2.02. Thus, the error margin = (tα/2)*(σ/√n) = 2.02*(6.83/√42) = 2.1279
b. Lower level limit = 32.66 - 2.1279 = 30.5321; Upper level limit = 32.66+2.1279 = 34.7879. The interval estimate = (mean± margin of error) = (30.53, 34.79).
c. The mean prices for two in mid-range restaurants in Hong Kong are relatively less than those in Tokyo restaurants.
