Answer:

the differene in the required rate of return of eahc company is 0.675%

Explanation:

we solve using the CAPM method:

Ke= r_f + \beta (r_m-r_f)  

risk free 0.0425

market rate 0.11

Company A

beta(non diversifiable risk) 0.7  

Ke= 0.0425 + 0.7 (0.0675)  

Ke 0.08975 = 8.975%

Company B

beta(non diversifiable risk) 0.8

Ke= 0.0425 + 0.8 (0.0675)

Ke 0.09650 = 9.65%

difference: 9.65% - 8.975% =  0.675%

2. Thomas's generic action options for managing diversity that is most illustrated in the case is:

include/exclude

3. Based on the information in the case, the barriers and challenges to managing diversity that were identified in the text that appear to have been present at Lease Plan were:

a. an unsupportive or hostile work environment

b. inaccurate stereotypes

Explanation:

Thomas's include and exclude generic action option emphasizes that more diverse employees should be employed in addition to minority-owned companies being used as vendors.  This option makes it possible for embracing and practicing workplace diversity.  It creates an open-minded and supportive workplace, encouraging the sharing of information and the integration of behavior to accept and value human differences, thereby overcoming stereotypes.
