Options:

very high, given both expectancy and valence levels are elevated

moderately high, since high valence and instrumentality compensate for low expectancy

moderate, as high expectancy and valence levels counteract low instrumentality

low, since motivation requires high expectancy, instrumentality, and valence.

Answer:

low, since motivation hinges on high expectancy, instrumentality, and valence.

Explanation:

The expectancy theory of motivation posits that an individual will be driven to perform if they perceive their efforts will yield a positive reaction from their employer or result in satisfactory compensation. An employee who doubts their ability to meet the demands for a promotion will have a diminished level of motivation.

--to document the land sale--

accounts payable 80,000 debit

               cash               80,000 credit

--to record the settlement of debts--

gain from disposal 10,000 debit

--to allocate gains from sale--

Morgan 22,500

Halsted    7,500

   Cash                30,000

--to dissolve the partnership--

Clarification:

ratio 3:1 (3+1=4)

Morgan  15,000 share of 3/4 = 75%

Halsted   5,000 share of 1/4 = 25%

a gain of 10,000 from the sale is shared as follows

Morgan 10,000 x 75% =  7,500

Halsted 10,000 x 25% =   2,500

soldi70 [3635]
Prepaid cards and gift cards are tools that help you save money as they allow others to pay for your expenses in advance. Essentially, both types serve a similar function, being preloaded with funds by another party (or yourself) and handed to you, ensuring expenses are taken care of without utilizing your own resources.

marusya05 [3725]

Answer:

The RB37 likely finds itself in the decline phase of the product life cycle.

Explanation:

The decline phase of a product's life cycle indicates a decrease in revenue attributed to market oversaturation, intense competition, and shifting consumer demands. During this phase, businesses may consider several strategies: they might opt to cease producing the product, transfer manufacturing rights to another company that can compete more effectively, or maintain the product by introducing new features, exploring alternative uses, or reaching out to new markets via exports. It is typical during this stage for packaging to claim “new and improved.”

Nady [3600]
Product G Product B Selling price per unit $120 $160 Variable costs per unit $40 $90 Contribution margin per unit $80 $70 Machine hours per unit 0.4 hours 1.0 hours Max. unit sales per month 600 units 200 units The machine operates for 8 hours daily over 22 days each month, leading to 176 machine hours total. Product G Product B Machine hours per unit 0.4 hours 1.0 hours Contribution margin per machine hour $200 $70 Total hours required for max production 240 200 440. The company should focus solely on producing Product G, as it can produce 440 units monthly, resulting in a contribution margin of $35,200. If the company opts for a two-shift schedule, it could manufacture 600 units of Product G (using 240 machine hours) and allocate the remaining 112 machine hours to produce 112 units of Product B, yielding a total contribution margin of $48,000 + $7,840 = $55,840. The additional contribution margin gained equals $20,640, surpassing the extra costs from operating two shifts, ultimately leading to an increase in profits by $5,640 ($20,640 - $15,000).
