Answer:

C. Fixed Interval

Explanation:

"Fixed Interval" is a type of <em>Reinforcement Schedule. </em>The "reward" in the situation above is the<em> salary given to the employees</em> during Wednesdays. As noticed, their productivity increases over the week, with the peak on Wednesday.  

The<u> "peak" of productivity</u> is the<u> exhibited behavior during pay day.</u> They try to work hard in order to receive a salary. <em>They become more inspired to work during the salary day.</em> It is followed by<em> </em><em>less productivity on Thursdays</em><em> </em>because they have already been rewarded.

Such reinforcement schedule is called the "fixed interval." This also means that their productivity will not increase if they will not be paid.

So, this explains the answer.

Answer:

A. make Spiros responsible for sourcing wall hangings and window treatments only

Explanation:

Process loss can be said to be an action or deficiency in performance by an individual that prevents a team or group from reaching its potential or achieving its goal within a stipulated time.

The two main factors that contribute to process loss are:

i) Coordination loss: Here, there is too much wait time among all members of the group. Members must coordinate their individual tasks and that of other group members. Too much time is lost here because individuals efficiency differs.

ii) Motivational loss: This happens when individuals of a grouo fail to work as hard as they should. Some individuals may tend to put lesser efforts than their team members, and this leads to loss of team effectiveness in the given task and it affects the results of the group.

Here, Spiro's problem is related to motivational loss, as his efforts do not match that of his teammates'.

There are steps used in addressing process loss.

The best way for Marsha to address spiros' behavior is to make Spiros's task more discrete and identifiable, this involves making Spiro solo responsible for sourcing wall hangings and window treatments only. This will ensure Spiro does not depend on other teammates and he has a solo responsibility which he must fulfill.

Which of the following circumstances must be present for departmental overhead allocation to be favored over a traditional overh
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

B. Each​ product, or​ job, uses the department to a different extent.

Explanation:

Departmental overhead rates uses a standard charge that is based on produced units attributed to a department.

Costs are applied with high precision.

When this model is used, the standard rate is multiplied by the number of units produced in the department, so there is no over allocation of resources.

For example if we consider the hours a machine operates. With a standard rate of $10 per hour, machine operation of 6 hours will give $10* 6 hours= $60
