Qyuiz letMatthias wants to change the reward system to be more team-focused and less individual-focused. He has met with managers at each level, put out an e-mail blast to all employees so no one would be expecting the employee of the month announcement, and he posted the criteria that would be evaluated by a team for the reward. He thought he had covered all of his bases, so when he received an anonymous e-mail from an upset employee about the change, he was caught off guard. What did Matthias NOT realize would be an impact of the change?

If tracking employees through technology is not illegal, why should megan be concerned if she is not involved in any misconduct?

Aproduction line has three machines a, b, and c, with reliabilities of .96, .86, and .85, respectively. the machines are arranged so that if one breaks down, the others must shut down. engineers are weighing two alternative designs for increasing the line’s reliability. plan 1 involves adding an identical backup line, and plan 2 involves providing a backup for each machine. in either case, three machines (a, b, and c) would be used with reliabilities equal to the original three. a. compute overall system reliability under plan 1. (round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 4 decimal places.) reliability b. compute overall system reliability under plan 2. (round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 4 decimal places.) reliability c. which plan will provide the higher reliability? plan2plan1

(30 total points) suppose a firm’s production function is given by q = l1/2*k1/2. the marginal product of labor and the marginal product of capital are given by: mpl = 1/ 2 1/ 2 2l k , and mpk = 1/ 2 1/ 2 2k l . a) (12 points) if the price of labor is w = 48, and the price of capital is r = 12, how much labor and capital should the firm hire in order to minimize the cost of production if the firm wants to produce output q = 18?
