Answer:
1) B) I'll be sharing some special sales tips with you tomorrow that will make your job easier.
2) B) Your goal for this month is to sell 10% more lattes, and you will receive a reward if you reach it.
3) C) Two days off with pay
Explanation:
1) The <em>E->P expectancy</em> is related to the concept of investing effort into something that you know will lead to the desired performance. It is the part of the expectancy theory that is not related to rewards.
In this example. the goal (task) is to increase sales. The E->P expectancy is the probability that Ethan's efforts will result in the desired performance (increased sales). By giving sales tips to Ethan, he will get more self-esteem and know-how and believe that his effort will in fact result in the desired outcome.
Although this is an overlooked part of the expectancy theory sometimes, it is crucial. Despite the appeal of a particular reward, an employee may not get increased motivation if he/she thinks that the task itself cannot be completed.
2) The <em>P->O expectancy</em> is related to rewards, and it states that employees will get motivated if the desired performance will result in a reward. In this case, Emma's putting the goal (10% increased sales) in direct relation with a reward.
3) Since the Motivation Report states that Ethan is motivated by time off, two days off with pay is the most appealing reward for him. The money bonus is more appropriate for Jon, while a choice of work assignments is better for Blair.
Answer:
0.25
Explanation:
The marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS) can be described as the rate of a reduction is one factor to maintain the same production level when another factor is increased.
Given that labor is measured on the horizontal axis, the MRST of K for L can be calculated as follows:
Where;
MPK = Marginal product of capital = 2
MPL = Marginal product of labor = 8
Substituting the values into the equation, we have:
This implies that 0.25 of capital must be given up to have one unit of labor.
Answer:
5000 partial depreciation
Explanation:
straight line formula is = <u>cost - scrape value</u>
useful life in years
since there is no residual value (scrape value) therefore, we divide <u>100,000 </u>
5
the answer we get 20000 per year depreciation. but the equipment is bought on 1st oct, and if assume that the year ends on Dec, 31 so it is measure for 3 month depreciation which is 5000.
