In this scenario, the performance norms are _below-average____ and cohesiveness is _ high____, so productivity is _low___.
Explanation:
It has been established that group norms influence individual behavior and group performance. Performance Norms refer to how a person should work in a given group and what his or her output should be.
Cohesion, according to wikipedia.com, "can be more specifically defined as the tendency for a group to be in unity while working towards a goal or to satisfy the emotional needs of its members." Employees of the packaging department tend to be enjoying so much group cohesiveness. But, they need to break some habits to focus on achieving corporate goals by increasing their productivity.
According to Paul Krugman of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, "Productivity is commonly defined as a ratio between the output volume and the volume of inputs. In other words, it measures how efficiently production inputs, such as labour and capital, are being used in an economy to produce a given level of output." A rough assessment of the packaging department employees' performance shows low productivity, as they are "consistently behind schedule and take long lunch breaks, and frequently chat with co-workers," instead of concentrating on their jobs.

Drawings $58
Modeling $0.7
supervision $190
Billings $1037.5
Collections $1642.5
Total overhead allocated: $ 126,826
Explanation:
First, we divide the cost of each activity over the base total to get the rate.

Now we apply this rate against the job activity measurement:

If this is the whole problem:
<span>A trucking company is hired to deliver 125 lamps for $12 each. The company agrees to pay $45 for each lamp that is broken during transport. If the trucking company needs to receive a minimum payment of $1365 for the shipment to cover their expenses, find the maximum number of lamps they can afford to break during the trip.
My answer is 3 lamps.
125 lamps * 12 each = 1,500 total revenue
</span>
Minimum revenue: 1,365
1,500 - 1,365 = 135 excess from minimum revenue.
135 ÷ 45 charge of broken lamp = 3 lamps.
The company can afford to break a maximum of 3 lamps w/o falling below its minimum payment.
