Answer:

D (Mia realized that Jason was being overpaid) relates to Equity Theory.
B (Offering range of rewards) relates to Expectancy Theory.
A (Identifying causes of dissatisfaction) relates to Two Factor Theory.
C (Offering trips) relates to The Porter-Lawler Model.

Explanation:

Equity Theory: Equity theory says that employees are motivated by the amount of fair treatment they are getting in the company.

For example: A employee would be satisfied, if he is paid equal to the other employee, but will be dissatisfied if the other is overpaid despite the fact that both have the same position and qualification.

Expectancy Theory: It suggests that employees are motivated by the value of the rewards, the more the value will the more they will be motivated to work.

For example: Employee knows the worth of their own effort, and the reward they will get against those efforts should be worth it.

Two Factor Theory: Suggested by Hezberg, there are factors of satisfaction and dissatisfaction, he categorized them as, Hygiene factors and Motivation factors. So, it's necessary to identify them and fix them.

The porter - Lawler Model: It suggests that the motivation is caused by rewards.

For example: Company is offering high rewards which will increase the motivation of the employees.

Your project to obtain charitable donations is now 30 days into a planned 40-day project. The project is divided into three acti

adell [148]

Answer:

1. schedule variance = -$52,500

2. SPI = 0.65

3. CPI = 0.56

Explanation:

to get the solution, we calculate for BRWS and BRWP

first we calculate the budgeted revenue of the work scheduled for each activity using this formula:

budgeted revenue * planned completion

A = 25,000 x 100percent

= $25000

B = 150,000 x (25/30) percent

= $125000

C = 50000 x 0percent

= 0$

total = $25000+$125000+$0

= $150000

Next we calculate budgeted revenue of work performed (brwp)

calculated using this formula:

budgeted revenue x actual completion

A = 25000 x 90percent

= 22500 dollars

B = 150000 x 50percent

= $75000

C = 50000 x 0%

= $0

total = 22500 + 75000 + 0

= $97500

1. schedule variance = BRWP - BRWS

= $97500 - $150000

= -$52500

we have a negative schedule, telling us that the project is behind schedule

2. schedule performance index = revenue of work performed divided by revenue of work schedule

= 97500/150000

= 0.65

3. cost price index = revenue of work performed divided by actual revenue

= 97500/175000

= 0.56

4. how the project is going:

the schedule performance index (SPI) is 0.65 which is less than 1. this is to say that the project is doing better than planned revenue when we talk of revenue

If frost in Florida reduces the quantity of vegetables sold by 20 percent and increases their retail price by 30 percent, one ca

Anit [1.1K]

Answer: The supply of vegetables has shifted to the left along an inelastic demand curve

Explanation: The quantity of vegetables sold has been reduced by 20 percent, which simply means the aggregate market supply curve has experienced a drop/decrease and that is usually indicated by a complete shift of the supply curve to the left.

Furthermore, we can determine easily if the demand is elastic or inelastic, since the question has stated the percentage change in quantity demanded as 20% and the percentage change in price as 30%.

The coefficient of elasticity is calculated as

E = %change in quantity demanded/%change in price

E = 20/30

E =0.66

Since the coefficient of elasticity is less than 1, then it means demand is inelastic.
