Answer:

The risk free rate is 3.325%

Explanation:

The required rate of return or cost of equity of a stock can be calculated using the CAPM. The CAPM estimates the required rate of return of a stock based on three factors- risk free rate, stock's beta and the market risk premium. The equation of required rate of return under CAPM is,

r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)

Where,

  • rRF is the risk free rate
  • rM is the return on market
  • (rM - rRF) gives us the risk premium of market

We already have the values for r, Beta and rM. Plugging in these values in the formula, we calculate the rRF to be,

Let rRF be x.

0.1185 = x + 1.24 * (0.102 - x)

0.1185 = x + 0.12648 - 1.24x

1.24x - x  =  0.12648 - 0.1185

0.24x = 0.00798

x = 0.00798/0.24

x = 0.03325 or 3.325%

There are 3 main decision making styles that most of us have regarding our normal day to day activities that includes our work and our personal lives, e.g. families and individual decisions. They are consumer, business, and personal decision making styles.

But managers, and specially true leaders have it a little more complicated. The four main decision making styles that apply to leaders are:

  1. directive: type of autocratic leadership where the leader decides everything by himself/herself
  2. conceptual: look for different alternatives and analyze each one of them
  3. consultative: seek advice from colleagues and subordinates, but the leader makes the decision
  4. consensus: seek advice from others and decisions are made by the group

The second part of the question is true; this leadership styles vary across countries, occupations and job levels.
