Recently, our managers have suggested making a variety of changes. Which of the following changes should not be implemented if we want to achieve a high level of relational coordination?" Check all that apply.

A. Provide employees with training on the technical aspects of their jobs and in negotiating skills so they can win in conflict situations.

B. Redesign office floorplans to include more private offices so employees have quiet time for strategic thinking.

C. Give frontline supervisors narrower spans of control so they have time to coach and mentor their employees.

D. Write job descriptions so they outline very specific tasks and reward each employee based on how well they achieve their designated tasks.

Aprice ceiling is “binding” if the price ceiling is set below the equilibrium price. suppose that the equilibrium price is $5. if a price ceiling is set at $6, this will not affect the market in any way since $5 remains a legally allowable price (since $5 < $6). a price ceiling of $6 is called a “non-binding” price ceiling. on the other hand, if the price ceiling is set at $4, the price ceiling is “binding” because the natural equilibrium price is $5 but that is no longer allowed. what happens when there is a binding price ceiling? at a price below the equilibrium price, quantity demanded exceeds quantity supplied. there is a shortage. normally, price increases eliminate shortages by increasing quantity supplied and decreasing quantity demanded. in this case, however, price increases are not allowed past the price ceiling. we therefore predict that the observed market price will be right at the price ceiling and there will be a permanent shortage. the observed quantity bought and sold will be dictated by the quantity supplied at the price ceiling. although consumers would like to buy more, there are no more units for sale

Two assets have the following expected returns and standard deviations when the risk-free rate is 5%: asset a e(ra) = 18.5% σa = 20% asset b e(rb) = 15% σb = 27% an investor with a risk aversion of a = 3 would find that on a risk-return basis. a. only asset a is acceptable b. only asset b is acceptable c. neither asset a nor asset b is acceptable d. both asset a and asset b are acceptable

Alarge tank is filled to capacity with 500 gallons of pure water. brine containing 2 pounds of salt per gallon is pumped into the tank at a rate of 5 gal/min. the well-mixed solution is pumped out at the same rate. find the number a(t) of pounds of salt in the tank at time t.
