Principal of Finance Discussion 5

Please see both discussion questions listed below, can
you please ensure that both discussion questions are answered. Thanks so much
in advance!!!

Wk 5 Discussion # 1

WEEK 5: Discussion Prompt #1 – The firm’s self-supporting
growth rate is influenced by the firm’s capital intensity ratio. The more
assets the firm requires to achieve a certain sales level, the lower its
sustainable growth rate will be. Many experts argue that it is better for an
organization to grow organically or by putting the money back into the business
and not taking on debt. Consider your own organization that you currently work
for or have worked for in the past. What is their approach to growing the
business? How would you advise your company based on what you have learned this
week in terms of self-supporting growth?

Wk 5 Discussion #2

WEEK 5: Discussion Prompt #2 ? Managerial entrenchment
occurs when managers gain so much power that they can use the firm to further
their own interests rather than the interests of shareholders. The shareholders
are essential to the organization. For this discussion, consider that you are
the CEO of a large public-traded organization. What steps would you take to
ensure that your management team makes decisions for the better of the
stakeholders and not their own interests? Provide specific steps based on your
research of organizations that have faced this issue in the past.
