Answer:

False

Explanation:

Groupthink is when a group of individuals reach a consensus without really weighing the matter, comsequences, or whether you can have other alternatives. Groupthink takes its cue from just desiring not to upset the balance of a group of people. This in no way does not describe the Motorola team that developed the Razr cell phone. They agreed on the objectives at hand and on the best approach to solve the problem.

Answer:

False

Explanation:

In management, groupthink is just the opposite, and it is actually bad for work groups and team work. Groupthink is a negative psychological phenomenon that takes place in many different places: schools, work, sports clubs, families, etc. It basically happens when group members feel such a strong need to belong in the group and not be considered part of the outgroup, that they will accept whatever decision the leader makes or imposes. Individual members are afraid to think differently and they will not even dare to criticize any decision made by the leader because they fear the negative consequences of not obeying or complying with the group's norms.

So in this case, since the team that was in charge of developing the Razr phone was successful, then we can assume that every team member was important and participated in the project. Even though it is possible that the team members shared many ideas and values, it is highly unlikely that a team were groupthink exists is able to develop something positive. Groupthink is related to a very authoritarian leadership style, which doesn't really stand out for creativity.

Now,

If the offer is accepted, the cost per unit will be:

= 74.90 ($)

Thus the above is the correct answer.

igor_vitrenko [27]

Accrued Net Income will be calculated as below:

Sales                                                    $72800

Less Expenses                                     $20400

Cash Income                                         $52400

Less: Depreciation                                 $4900

Add: Accounts Receivable Inc              $4500

Less: Reduction in Prepaid Exp             $1900

Add: Reduction in Acc Liab                    $1700

Accrued Income                                   $51800

Depreciation will be reduced as its an expense and all expenses will be reduced.

Increase in Accounts Recievables indicate there have been sales which have not been paid for yet, thus sales will increase and this needs to be added

Reduction in Prepaid Expenses refer to expenses being paid off earlier but now need to be recognised, thus these need to be added to expenses

Reduction in accrued liabilitites indicate that expenses of previous period have been paid off now thus those need to be reduced from cash expenses.

hammer [34]

Answer:

a. during the the construction period of a self-constructed asset

Explanation:

"Determining the cost of constructing a new building is often more difficult. Usually this cost includes architect’s fees; building permits; payments to contractors; and the cost of digging the foundation. Also included are labor and materials to build the building; salaries of officers supervising the construction; and insurance, taxes, and interest during the construction period."

Suppose your employer offers you a choice between a $ 4 comma 600 bonus and 200 shares of the company stock. Whichever one you c
Virty [35]

Answer:

a. Suppose that if you receive the stock​ bonus, you are free to trade it. Which form of the bonus should you​ choose? What is its​ value?

I would choose the stock bonus because the current market price = 200 x $64 = $12,800 which is much higher than $4,600 (cash bonus)

b. Suppose that if you receive the stock​ bonus, you are required to hold it for at least one year. What can you say about the value of the stock bonus​ now? What will your decision depend​ on?

Even if you are required to hold the stock for one year, the price difference with the cash bonus is too great = ($12,800 - $4,600) / $4,600 = 178% higher. Since you are employed by the company, you should know if the company is doing well or not, and the probable future stock price.

Only if something catastrophic happened to the company would make the cash bonus more attractive.
