Answer:

The correct answer is A. A leader who is task-oriented and directs subordinates' work .

Explanation:

The starting structure: Refers to the measure by which the leader can define and structure his role and those of his subordinates, in the pursuit of goal achievement. It includes behavior that tries to organize work, work relationships, and goals.

Extensive research, based on these definitions, shows that leaders with high rates of starting structure and consideration (a "high - high" leader) tend to achieve high performance and subordinate satisfaction, more often than those who rate low either in consideration, starting structure or in both dimensions. It does not always result in positive consequences to high rates of truancy and turnover, as well as low levels of job satisfaction for workers performing routine tasks. In conclusion, the Ohio State studies emerged that "high - high style" generally produced positive results.

Investment X offers to pay you $4,200 per year for eight years, whereas Investment Y offers to pay you $6,100 per year for five

marishachu [46]

Answer:

PVxa = $27,132.00, PVya = $26,413.00,

Explanation:

Present value (PV) is the value of the future expected cash flow. PV rests on the idea that the worth of a cash received is more than that of the cash promised to be received in the future. To calculate PV a stream of incomes to be received a number of period in the future, the following formula is used:

$PV = C[\frac{1-(1+r)^{-n} }{r} ]$

Where PV = present value

C = cash flow amount from the investment

r = discount rate

n = number of period, in this case years, to receive the cash flow.

The PV formula above is therefore employed to answer the question as follows:

Answer to question (a)

For Investment X in question (a)

PVxa = $4,200 * {[1-(1+r)^-n]/r}

PVxa = $4,200 * {[1-(1+0.05)^-8]/0.05}

PVxa = $4,200 * 6.463212759

PVxa = $27,145.49

For Investment Y in question (a)

PVya = $6,100*{[1-(1+r)^-n]/r}

PVya = $6,100*{[1-(1+0.05)^-5]/0.05}

PVya = $6,100 * 4.329476671

PVya = $26,409.81

Answer to question (b)

For Investment X in question (b)

PVxb = $4,200 * {[1-(1+r)^-n]/r}

PVxb = $4,200 * {[1-(1+0.15)^-8]/0.15}

PVxb = $4,200 * 4.487321508

PVxb = $18,846.75

For Investment Y in question (b)

PVyb = $6,100*{[1-(1+r)^-n]/r}

PVyb = $6,100*{[1-(1+0.15)^-5]/0.15}

PVyb = $6,100 * 3.352155098

PVyb = $20,448.15

Where PVxa, PVya, PVxb and PVyb represents PV for X and Y in questions (a) and (b).

Decisions:

1. In question (a) part where the PV of $27,145.49 of X is greater than $26,409.81 of investment Y, it is better to invest on investment X.

2. In question (b) part where the PV of $20,448.15 of Y is now greater than $18,846.75 of investment X, it is better to invest on investment Y.
