, 7. Performance measures:

A. are critical in designing a reward system
B. are unimportant in designing a reward system
C. always influence people to achieve them
D. are always worded vaguely
E. are not needed to provide incentives because employees always want to do the right thing

Performance measures are critical in designing a reward system. If poorly specified, they may promote dysfunctional behavior or
encourage managers to undertake actions not in the best interest of the organization. If managers' performance is not measured
and not rewarded, it is unlikely that managers will focus on enhancing the owner's wealth.

8. Micro Enterprises has the capacity to produce 10,000 widgets a month, and currently makes and sells 9,000 widgets a month.
Widgets normally sell for $6 each, and cost an average of $5 to make, including fixed costs. The monthly fixed costs are
$18,000. Coyote Corp. has offered to buy 1,000 widgets at $4 each.
What is the "cost" per unit in the context of evaluating the offer from Coyote Corp.?

A. $2
B. $3
C. $4
D. $5
E. $6

The "cost" per unit in this case is the variable cost that must be covered. Since Micro has excess capacity, the only cost the firm
incurs to produce an additional 1,000 widgets is the variable cost. The average cost of $5 includes the fixed cost per widgets of
$2 ($18,000/9000 widgets). Hence, the variable cost per widget is just the average cost of $5 less the fixed cost per widget of $2,
or $3.
