I feel pretty confident about this one. The information provided indicates that Diane Tsai and Oval's goals are aligned, so option B seems like the best answer. I'll review the other choices, but that's my initial assessment.

This is a bit confusing. I'm not sure if the high costs mean the department is inefficient or just not effective. I'll need to carefully consider the wording of each answer choice.

Hmm, the key seems to be understanding whether the accounting department's objectives are aligned with Oval's overall business goals. I'll need to think through the implications of the department being able to establish and achieve appropriate objectives, but having high costs.

Wait, so the accounting department's costs are too high, but the goals are aligned? Sounds like someone's cooking the books...or maybe just cooking the books for their own personal cookbook!

I'm going with B. If the goals are mutually supportive, then they must be congruent. Though I do wonder if Ms. Tsai's bonus structure is a bit too generous.
