Answer:
No. I do not think leadership style is fixed.
Explanation:
There are various leadership styles used by leaders in organizations depending on the type of job, the category of employees, the situation, or the organizational goal the leader is trying to achieve.
Some of these leadership styles include; bureaucratic, democratic, autocratic, servant and transactional leadership styles.
It is best for leaders to be flexible and know what style to adopt depending on the particular situation.
For example, in <u>situations where employees are inexperienced</u>, a leader should choose a leadership style (such as bureaucratic leadership) where he gives instructions and directs the employees on what to do.
If on the other hand, such a l<u>eader is in charge of experienced employees</u>, then he can adopt the democratic style of leadership, where the employees are allowed to give inputs and have freedom to make certain decisions.
Answer:
a) a downward shift in the AFC curve
Explanation:
AFC = Average Fixed Cost, AVC = Average Variable Cost, MC = Marginal Cost
Average Fixed Cost is defined as the fixed cost of production divided by the quantity produced. Mathematically given as:
Average Fixed Cost = Fixed Cost ÷ Quantity
AVC = FC ÷ Q
Average Variable Cost is defined as the variable cost of production divided by the quantity produced. Mathematically given as:
AFC = VC ÷ Q
Marginal Cost is defined as the cost incurred for an additional unit to be produced. Mathematically given as:
MC = ΔC ÷ ΔQ
The firm discovered a more efficient technology implies that the cost of production is reduced. The result of this is that the fixed cost (FC) is reduced and consequently, the AFC is reduced as well. Hence, the AFC curve shifts downward. We therefore see that a reduction in fixed costs (due to the discovery of a more efficient technology) results in the AFC curve shifting downwards
<u>Hence, Option A (a downward shift in the AFC curve) is the correct answer </u>
Answer:
<u>The correct answer is that Rachel's workshop total cost is US$ 5,700 per month and US$ 19 of average cost per unit sold every month.</u>
Explanation:
<u>1. Rachel's workshop monthly costs</u>
Rent US$ 600
Salaries US$ 3,600
Insurance premium US$ 300
Raw materials US$ 1,200
<u>Total monthly costs US$ 5,700</u>
<u>2. Rachel's workshop average monthly costs</u>
Number of units sold per month = 300
Average monthly costs = Total monthly costs/Number of units sold
Average monthly costs = 5,700/300
<u>Average monthly costs = US$ 19</u>
Answer:
a) Seizing the farms from his political rivals, and giving them to his friends, even when they do not know about farming, will result in less economic growth, because the human capital employed in farming is now of less quality. If things turn sour, a famine could even result (there have been many examples of this kind of situation throughout history).
b) This kind of red-tape will result in less economic growth, because investments that could have been made during the current year, will be postponed at least one year due to the bureaucracy.
c) The government of Tempestia is improving the judiciary, granting it independence and credibility. This will result in more economic growth because now both citizens, and international investors have more confidence in the country, since they feel that their property rights will be enforced, giving them an incentive to invest and take risks.
d) This kind of protectionist policies will likely result in less economic growth because the lack of international trade makes things more expensive for consumers, keeping their incomes from growing, and also because protectionism leads to the misallocation of resources by keeping afloat inefficient economic sectors that under a free trade system would otherwise collapse to give way to more efficient sectors.
Answer:
The answer is: D) global competition
Explanation:
This is the perfect example of global competition, where huge multinational corporations compete with each other for local markets.
For example, Coca Cola and Pepsi both sponsor different sports competitions, sometimes they even sponsor competing teams in the same championships.
They are present virtually everywhere and probably every single child in the world can recognize a Coke bottle.
