A. What are the three key components/categories of effective teams?

B. Under each of these categories, discuss briefly a few of factors that add or detract from team effectiveness and why.

Suppose that 1/2 of all cars sold at a Nissan dealer in a given year are Altimas, 1/3 are Maximas, and the rest are Sentras. Suppose that 3/4 of the Altimas, 1/2 of the Maximas, and 1/2 of the Sentras have a moon roof. Answer the following questions. For each question, first decide whether the probability is a conditional probability or not.

1. What is the probability a randomly selected car has a moon roof?

2. What is the probability that a randomly selected car has a moon roof given it is a Sentra?

3. What is the probability a randomly selected car is a Maxima if it has a moon roof?

People have done some amazing things to get or keep money! Think of a potential or real issue of an ethical dilemma in compensation. Define the issue and think about what you did or might do under similar circumstances. What would an HR professional and company need to do to avoid or put systems in place to guard against this type of problem, especially with pay for performance plans.  

At January 1, 2020, the credit balance of Whispering Winds Corp.’s Allowance for Doubtful Accounts was $401,000. During 2020, the bad debt expense entry was based on a percentage of net credit sales. Net sales for 2020 were $80 million, of which 90% were on account. Based on the information available at the time, the 2020 bad debt expense was estimated to be 0.75% of net credit sales. During 2020, uncollectible receivables amounting to $508,500 were written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts. The company has estimated that at December 31, 2020, based on a review of the aged accounts receivable, the allowance for doubtful accounts would be properly measured at $530,500.

Prepare a schedule calculating the balance in Whispering Winds Corp.’s Allowance for Doubtful Accounts at December 31, 2020.

Prepare any necessary journal entry at year end to adjust the allowance for doubtful accounts to the required balance. (Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually. If no entry is required, select "No Entry" for the account titles and enter 0 for the amounts.)

do you believe that geographical region, occupation, and role in your occupation make a difference in how you handle conflict? Why?

A. What is the difference between formal and informal groups? Give an example of each.

B. There are at least 7 ways group cohesiveness can be increased. Pick three and describe them.

C. What is social loafing, and why does it occur (name at least two possible causes) ?

Our text tells us that the behavior of group members is shaped by the workgroups, which " help explain individual behaviors as well as the performance of the group." ( Robbins & Judge, p.139) There are several defining group properties including roles, norms, status, size, cohesiveness, and diversity. Pick three and give a brief explanation of how each might affects the workgroup positively and/or negatively.

Motivation is one of the major areas of interest in organizational behavior (OB). Properly motivating a workforce can lead to gains in productivity, innovation, and employee retention. There are three key elements of motivation. Please describe them.

In Python Complete the oddNumbers() functions to take an int (as a parameter). Return a list of all of the odd numbers between 1 and one less than the parameter. Also, complete the evenNumbers() functions to take an int (as a parameter). Return a list of all of the even numbers between 2 and one less than the parameter.

a)Write brief notes on how much air pressure is required to start any marine diesel main engine; how many times should the air reservoir be able to start. The conditions must be clearly stated.

b) What are the main causes of over pressurizing an air reservoir and what are the safety measures put in place?

c) What are the possible causes of an air compressor running for long periods to fill air reservoir
on time?

1. Create a Python module that reads Linux_syslog_ip_parser.py that reads syslog file and parses the IPV4 addresses and stores the result into a csv file. Your module should contain the following functions:

a. linux_logfile_reader(filename) function that reads the syslog file and returns all IPV4 addresses

b. count_ipfrequency(ip_list) function that accepts the list of IPV4 addresses retuned by linux_logfile_reader function and returns a dictionary list with ip:frequency pair.

c. Writeto_csv_file(ip_frequency) function that accepts a dictionary list containing ip:frequency pair returned from count_ipfrequeny function and stores the IpV4 addresses with its frequency value into a ‘ipv4.csv’ file.

i. Which internal IP address is the most frequency found in the ‘syslog’ file ( hint: internal ip addresses start with either 10, 172, or 192)

ii. Which external Ip address is the most frequently found in the ‘syslog’ file

The one year interest rates in Australia and US are 3% and 1%, respectively. The current spot rate is $0.75/AUD. (Show calculation and steps)

a. What should the one year forward rate be (if IRP holds).

b. If the forward rate is $0.70/AUD is there an arbitrage? If so, how can an arbitrageur incorporate a cashless (i.e. not use any of her current cash) arbitrage? Hint: She will need to borrow in the US or Australia at the current rates. Assume that she will use an amount of 1,000,000 USD or AUD (you must choose the right one…)

When a Body Meets a Body

What a day! A traveling couple has stopped overnight at this airport hotel to break up 27 hours of travel from almost around the world. It is already late, almost 11:00 pm when they finally get to their room. What’s that noise? A party in the room across the hall. After giving the partygoers an additional hour to finish up, the distraught guest calls the desk. No answer after some 10 rings. Every 10 minutes the caller rings the desk because the party has grown louder and louder and it is now well past 1 am. No answer. No answer. No answer. More than 2 hours after arriving, the man puts on his clothing and walks down to the lobby. The lobby is pitch dark except for emergency lighting. “Wow, something has happened. Oh Gosh! There’s a body on the sofa!” The guest is startled even more when the night auditor jumps up from the sofa and his deep sleep, mumbling something about; “sorry I must have fallen asleep.”

Questions:

1. Was there a management failure here? If so, what?

2. What is the hotel’s immediate response (or action) to the incident?

3. What further, long-run action should management take? If any?
