A company evaluates managers using a weighted score: Planning 30 %, Organising 20 %, Staffing 25 %, Directing 15 %, Controlling 10 %. Manager Y scores 90, 85, 80, 75 and 70 in the respective categories. Compute Manager Y’s overall effectiveness percentage.

Step-by-step solution

1. Compute weighted score for Planning: $0.30\times 90=27$
2. Compute weighted score for Organising: $0.20\times 85=17$
3. Compute weighted score for Staffing: $0.25\times 80=20$
4. Compute weighted score for Directing: $0.15\times 75=11.25$
5. Compute weighted score for Controlling: $0.10\times 70=7$
6. Sum all weighted scores: $27+17+20+11.25+7=82.25$
7. Thus overall effectiveness is $82.25\%$
