Answer:

Nola and Charles Collusion at Trident, IA.

Helping or Impeding Scenarios:

Helping Scenarios:

4. Nola and Charles are regulars at the same coffee house. They talk regularly

5. Charles and Nola both charge a fixed per person price for a party

Impeding Scenarios:

1. Charles develops a signature appetizer that becomes the must have in Trident

2. A party planning school opens and the new graduates are ready to plan!

3. Nola lowers her price on national television

6. Nola's marginal cost is lower than Charles's.

7. Most of the parties are given by Trident's largest employer, a water bottling plant.

Explanation:

Nola and Charles can only enter a collusion agreement secretly because it is illegal.  Since the agreement is secret, it is not enforceable in the court of law.  The tendency for Nola and Charles to be entangled in the prisoner's dilemma is very high.  It is also not possible for them to protect their collusion for very long because they have different cost bases and core competencies that derail collusion on a sustainable large scale.  Graduates of party organization and other market participants, including the large firm that hosts most of the parties in the area will end the collusion before long.

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Letter B is correct. <u><em>Participative.</em></u>

Explanation:

The participative leadership style is characterized by a leader whose focus is on including employees in most of the organizational decision making process. It is a type of leadership that prioritizes teams and their decisions are relevant to the point of establishing a majority vote in the company to assist in organizational issues and actions.

There are many added benefits in organizations that adopt a participatory leadership style, some of which are:

  • Greater acceptance of consensus-based practices and policies. Employees feel valued and motivated to achieve organizational goals because they feel they are part of the company's achievements.
  • Encourages employee creativity and collaboration in problem solving.
  • Decreases turnover and turnover costs as employees choose to stay with the company to see their plans assist in organizational success.

stock that has a current price of $25.00, a beta of 1.25, and a dividend yield of 6%. If the Treasury bill yield is 5% and the m
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

$30.2067

Explanation:

From the given question, using the dividend discount model

V_0 = \dfrac{D_1}{r - g}

where:

r is the Expected return on stock and be calculated as:

Expected return on stock = Risk free rate + Beta × (Expected Market Return - Risk free rate)

Expected return on stock = 5% + 1.25 × (14% - 5%) = 16.25%

However, the current price in this process will b used as the dividend price for all future expenses.

Dividend Yield = Current Dividend/The Share Price

Current dividend D0 = 6% × $25.00 = $1.50

D₁ = D₀ × (1 + g)

D₁ = 1.5 × (1 + g)

Thus, we can now employ the use of the growth dividend model (constant) to determine the value of g as follows:

25 = \dfrac{1.5 \times (1 + g)}{0.1625 - g}

By cross multiply, we have:

4.0625 - 25g = 1.5 + 1.5g

collect like terms, we have:

4.0625 - 1.5 = 1.5g + 25g

2.5625 = 26.5g

Divide both sides by 26.5, we have:

2.5625/26.5 = 26.5g/26.5

g = 9.67%

Similarly, suppose the value for the second year-end to be Y₂;

Then the constant growth dividend model can be computed as:

Y_2 = \dfrac{D_3}{r - g}

where;

D₃ = D₂ × (1 + g)

D₂ × (1 + g) = D₁ × (1 + g) × (1 + g)

D₁ × (1 + g) × (1 + g) = D₀ × (1 + g) × (1 + g) × (1 + g)

D₁ × (1 + g) × (1 + g) = D₀ × (1 + g) × (1 + g) × (1 + g)  = D₀ × (1 + g) × 3

D₃ = 1.5 × (1 + 9.67%) × 3

D₃ = $1.9876

Finally:

Y_2 = \dfrac{D_3}{r - g}

Y_2 = \dfrac{1.9876}{0.1625 - 0.0967}

Y₂ = $30.2067

The stock price is expected to be $57 a share one year from now.
