Answer 1

Answer:

d. the business judgment rule will not apply.

Explanation:

A corporation can be defined as a corporate organization that has facilities and owns or controls assets used for the production of goods and services in at least one country other than its headquarter (home office) located in its home country.

One of the advantage of a corporation is that, owners have limited liability for debt to the extent to which they have invested and as such are not personally liable for some of debt owed by corporation.

A manager can be defined as an individual who is saddled with the responsibility of providing guidance, support, supervision, administrative control, as well as acting as a role model or example to the employees working in an organization by being morally upright.

Generally, managers are typically involved in taking up leadership roles and as such are expected to be build a strong relationship between their employees or subordinates by creating a fair ground for effective communication and sharing of resources and information. Also, they are required to engage their staff members (entire workforce) in the most efficient and effective manner.

In Business management, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that a manager's corporate decision amounted to self-dealing i.e putting his or her own interests first, the business judgment rule will not apply.

Generally, in order for the business judgement rule to apply, it is expected or required that a manager should act in the best interest of a corporation.
