I believe the answer is: D. Technology

Advancement in technology would increase the likelihood of the creation of an invention that could increase the efficiency of a certain action. This efficiency would make the process of finishing this action become a lot faster, which would increase overall productivity in the long run.

Mason Holdings is expected to pay dividends of $.20 every quarter for the next three years. If the current price of Mason stock
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

Price of the stock at the end of three years =$34,27

Explanation:

Price of the stock today = \frac{D1}{(1+ke)^1}+\frac{D2}{(1+ke)^2}+\frac{D3}{(1+ke)^3}+\frac{P3}{(1+ke)^3}.

Where D1 is the total dividend earned in year 1 =$0.2*4=$0.8

D1=D2=D3=$0.8

therefore, from the given information

$22.60=\frac{0.8}{(1+0.18)^1} + \frac{0.8}{(1+0.18)^2} +\frac{0.8}{(1+0.18)^3} + \frac{P3}{(1+0.18)^3}.

Solve for P3, which is the price of the stock at the end of three years =$34,27.

natulia [17]

Answer:

(a) the environment is a dynamic one, and department and frontline managers can come up with more responsive plans than can central leadership.

(d) when managers come up with their own plans, they are likely to be more committed to following through on them.

Explanation:

Firstly, research has shown that both <u>decentralized decision structure (where managers are allowed to make their own decisions)</u> and planning activities; <u>are associated with higher performance in dynamic environments</u>.

This is one reason why the organization’s executives might opt for the decentralization approach to planning - because of the organization's dynamic nature

Secondly, when managers come up with their own plans, they are likely to be more committed to following through on them. When managers participate in planning it serves as a motivation for them to achieve it which is preferable to forcing the plans on them from senior management. This might have been the reason for Alcoa's improved performance when Paul O'Neill took over, in relation to safety records. Managers may have been allowed to make their own safety plans
