Answer:

the bond's price elasticity = - 0.67

Explanation:

present bond value = $1100

previous bond value = $900

change in bond value = $1100 - $900 = $200

present bond percentage = 8%

previous bond percentage = 12%

% change in bond value = 8% - 12% = - 4%

Bond price elasticity = \frac{change  in bond value}{previous bond value}/\frac{change in percentage}{previous percentage}

                                  = \frac{200}{900} / \frac{-4}{12}

                                  = \frac{2}{9} * -3

                                  = - 0.67

Daniel [21]

Answer:

The answer is $750 millions

Explanation:

After recapitalization, the Weight of Debts of Nichols Corporation is 25%. Hence, its Weight of Equity Capital is: 100% - 25% = 75%.

The formula of Value of Operations as follows:

Value of Operations = Weight of Debts x Value of Debts + Weight of Equity Capital x Value of Equity Capital

Because Nichols Corporation's value of operations is equal to $600 million after recapitalization, we have the following equation with S as the value of equity after the recap:

600 = 25% x 150 + 75% x S

=> S = (600 - 25% x 150) / 75% = 750

liq [111]

Answer:

The correct answer is c. McGregor's Theory X.

Explanation:

Theory X is defined by Douglas McGregor in his 1960s book "The Human Side of Enterprise" as an <em>authoritarian</em> style of management. In the book, McGregor explains that styles of management are greatly influenced by how the manager views people. Theory X is based on the view that workers are inherently lazy and unmotivated, prefer to be directed, do not like to take responsibility and dislike to work in general. In this style of management, it is assumed that the only way to push employees to work is to provide them with incentives or punishments, according to their performance. Also, authority is centralized on a select few and employees are strictly controlled and supervised.

In this particular case, Gerard fits the Theory X style of management, as he coerces and threatens employees to push them to do their jobs. He has the belief that people don't like to work and avoid it.
