Question 1:

1. We are asked to tell whether the statements are true or false.

2. It is important to note the rules behind putting levels A, B, and C: "Every employee in the organization chart who reports directly to the CEO is at salary level A. Each subsequent level of reporting is at salary level B, and all employees under B-level employees are at salary level C".

3. Sales managers are B-level employees. First, let's find the Sales Manager on the graph. They're 2 levels down from the CEO, which means it's the B level. So, this statement is true.

4. The new AVP of Procurement is a C-level employee. Note where the AVP of Procurement is. They're 2 levels down from the CEO, which is B level - not C level. So, this statement is false.

5. The AVP of Engineering is under the new AVP of Procurement. Locate the 2 employee positions. They're separate from each other. So, the statement is false.

Question 2:

1. We need to find which statements are true or false.

2. Since all 3 statements are about the number of employee positions at each level, let's note all levels on the graph.

3. The ratio of B-level employees to C-level employees is 6:1. The number of B level employees is 12 and the number of C level employees is 2. So, the ratio is 12:2 = 6:1 and the statement is true.

4. The ratio of B-level employees to A-level employees is 5:1. The number of B level employees is 12 and the number of A level employees is 5. So, the ratio is 12:5 \(\neq\) 5:1 and the statement is false.

5. Each A-level employee has at least 3 employees below him or her. The Executive Secretary is an employee position that doesn't have any employees beneath them. So, the statement is false.

Question 3:

1. The question gives us that an employee one level above another gets a salary 1.2 times larger. Then, we are asked to find by how many times the CEO earns more than the AVP of Accounting.

2. The position AVP of Accounting is at level B. Assuming that the CEO is a level above A, then the CEO is 2 levels higher than the AVP of Accounting. So, the CEO earns \((1.2)*(1.2) = 1.44 \approx \) 1.4 times more than the AVP of Accounting.

Good question!

I believe it should be 4, since being above a position isn't mentioned to mean directly reporting to that position. Either way, in question 2.3 we need to find an example that we're 100% sure that it doesn't work. That would the Executive Secretary.

I hope that answered your question!
