Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Matching authority with responsibility means that you give your employee the authority to accomplish the task you have assigned. Although you cannot delegate ultimate accountability for delegated tasks, you can delegate prime accountability. This means that the buck stops, eventually, at your desk. Final blame for failure cannot be given away. This is ultimate accountability. On the other hand, you can delegate prime accountability, which means that others can be given responsibility for producing desired results, but you maintain ultimate responsibility for success or failure.
