Answer:
A- Group think
Explanation:
In group think, bad decisions are often made because, rather than consider other alternatives, a group of people agree to a decision suggested by, in most cases, the most superior party in the room.
This form of thinking hides true opinions of other members of the group and though the decision is agreed upon, they could truly not want to be a part of the process.
In this scenario, there is an agreement with the Senior Executive on the plan of action however, nobody is interested in taking up the responsibility to follow through with the plan. This indicates a level of disagreement of other members with the plan regardless of the initially stated agreement with the plan.
Answer: Limited liabilities and partnerships
Explanation:
Limited liabilities mean that the partners within the firm are only liable to pay off their debts with the amount they had invested as capital in the company.

In this case since there is a 50/50 allocation of profits and there are only 2 partners therefore, this is a limited liability partnership.
Answer: c. $81,202
Explanation:
The inflow will be annual and constant which makes it an annuity. Given the discount rate of 12% and a useful life of 8 years, the present value interest discount factor based on the table is = 4.968.
Option 1 present value
= 48,410 * 4.968
= $240,500.88
Option 2 present value
= 50,427 * 4.968
= $250,521.34
Option 3 present value
= 81,202 * 4.968
= $403,412
Option 3 is the closest option with the difference being down to rounding errors. The annual inflow would have to be $81,202 to make the investment in the equipment financially attractive.
