Answer:

Groupthink

Explanation:

In psychology, groupthink is a phenomenon used to explain certain non-logical or non-reasonable acts just because the members of a team feel a huge social pressure and need to belong to the group. This need to belong to a group leads to poor decision making because no one wants to consider part of the outgroup because that is socially penalized.

What is happening in this specific group clearly manifests one of the main characteristics of groupthink, only the leader's opinions are important and no one dares to question those opinions because that would be considered as questioning his/her authority and the fear of being expelled is too large.

Answer:

Explanation:

Answer is Groupthink

It is given that, one group always delivers quick decisions, agrees with the leader’s opinions, and does not thoroughly consider the feasibility of the solutions.

Groupthink is a psychological phenomenon that occurs within a group of people in which the desire for harmony or conformity in the group results in an irrational or dysfunctional decision-making outcome.

It happens when because of group harmony, group members do not want to disagree, discuss and they easily agree with leader's opinion.

kicyunya [14]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Debt = D ÷ (E + D)

= 0.8 ÷ (1 + 0.8)

= 0.4444

Now

Weight of equity = 1 - Debt

= 1 - 0.4444

= 0.5556

As per Dividend discount model

Price = Dividend in 1 year ÷ (cost of equity - growth rate)

40 = $2 ÷ (Cost of equity - 0.06)

Cost of equity = 11%

Cost of debt

K = N

Let us assume the par value be $1,000

Bond Price =∑ [(Annual Coupon) ÷ (1 + YTM)^k] + Par value ÷ (1 + YTM)^N

k=1

K =25

$804 =∑ [(7 × $1000 ÷ 100)/(1 + YTM ÷ 100)^k] + $1000 ÷ (1 + YTM ÷ 100)^25

k=1

YTM = 9

After tax cost of debt = cost of debt × (1 - tax rate)

= 9 × (1 - 0.21)

= 7.11

WACC = after tax cost of debt × W(D) + cost of equity ×W(E)

= 7.11 × 0.4444 + 11 × 0.5556

= 9.27%

As we can see that the WACC is lower than the return so it should be undertake the expansion

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

Growth Rate = 5.73%

Explanation:

The present value of stock formula can be used here to solve this problem.

The formula is:

P_0=\frac{Div_1}{r-g}

Where

P_0  is the current stock price

Div_1  is the dividend to be paid next year

r is the rate of return required

g is the growth rate expected

Now, the first 3 variables are given, we need to find g. Substituting, we find our answer:

P_0=\frac{Div_1}{r-g}\\53.40=\frac{3.35}{0.12-g}\\53.40(0.12-g)=3.35\\6.408-53.40g=3.35\\53.40g=3.058\\g=0.0573\\

In percentage, it is

<u>Growth Rate = 5.73%</u>
