Answer:

Explanation: The concept of demand usually deals with the consumers yearning for goods and services and the factors which determines the purchasing decision of consumers and the amount being purchased. Quantity and price are two associated variables which can be used to examine consumer behavior towards a certain product. Hence, demand for a product often refers to the quantity of product purchased or demanded by consumers based on the price of the product.

The demand proposition is simply of the notion that the number of quantity demanded for a certain product falls as the price of such product inversa and vice versa. The demand for a product decreases as its price begins to rise, leading consumers to look for substitute products which cost less.

U.S. employees work harder now than ever before, and almost 75 percent report regularly experiencing job-related stress symptoms. Stress costs organizations an estimated $30 billion a year in lost productivity, and hundreds of billions a year if you include health care costs and absenteeism. This activity is important because managers can help to decrease unnecessary workplace stressors, and can help employees to experience fewer stress symptoms, if they are attuned to the sources from which workplace stress can manifest. The goal of this exercise is to challenge your knowledge of the six sources of work-related stress.

For each person, select the source of job-related stress that his or her example best depicts:

a. Demands created by individual differences
b. Individual task demands
c. Individual role demands
d. Worklife balance

Managers and leaders perform many tasks as a result of their goals and objectives. Even though many tasks may be completed as a result of their responsibilities, each task may be categorized into one of four functions of management. Management is a process. This process is what allows managers and leaders to achieve organizational and personal goals. Included within this process are four functions of management. These four functions include planning, organizing, leading, and controlling. Each of these functions is an important aspect of the management process and must be implemented to achieve organizational goals.

A microwave manufacturing company has just switched to a new automated production system. Unfortunately, the new machinery has been frequently failing and requiring repairs and service. Historically, the company has been able to provide its customers with a completion time of 6 days or less. To analyze whether the completion time has increased, the production manager took a sample of 36 jobs and found that the sample mean completion time was 6.5 days with a sample standard deviation of 1.5 days. At a significance level of .10 using the critical value rule, we can show that the completion time has increased.

Required:
Indicate which test you are performing; show the hypotheses, the test statistic and the critical values and mention whether one- tailed or two-tailed.

Executive compensation packages often tie performance to bonus and incentive awards, supplemental retirement packages, perquisites, and severance pay, in order to encourage the management team to align their performance with organizational goals. In an attempt to minimize agency problems in a company (potential conflict of interest between the company's managers and shareholders), attractive compensation packages are created to retain and encourage managers. In the best interest of shareholders, compensation packages should be structured in a way such that managers have an incentive to maximize the___________ value of the company’s stock price.
