Answer:
The rate is greater than 8%
Explanation:
Given
<em>Missing part of question</em>
Required
Is r > 1
We have:
Substitute values for r and I
Divide both sides by 1000
Add 1 to both sides
Take square roots of both sides
Subtract 1 from both sides
Multiply both sides by 100

<em>Hence, the rate is greater than 8%</em>
Back in 2015, McDonald’s was struggling. In Europe, sales were down 1.4% across the previous 6 years; 3.3% down in the US and almost 10% down across Africa and the Middle East. There were a myriad of challenges to overcome. Rising expectations of customer experience, new standards of convenience, weak in-store technology, a sprawling menu, a PR-bruised brand and questionable ingredients to name but a few.
McDonald’s are the original fast-food innovators; creating a level of standardisation that is quite frankly, remarkable. Buy a Big Mac in Beijing and it’ll taste the same as in Stratford-Upon Avon.
So when you’ve optimised product delivery, supply chain and flavour experience to such an incredible degree — how do you increase bottom line growth? It’s not going to come from making the Big Mac cheaper to produce — you’ve already turned those stones over (multiple times).
The answer of course, is to drive purchase frequency and increase margins through new products.
Numerous studies have shown that no matter what options are available, people tend to stick with the default options and choices they’ve made habitually. This is even more true when someone faces a broad selection of choices. We try to mitigate the risk of buyers remorse by sticking with the choices we know are ‘safe’.
McDonald’s has a uniquely pervasive presence in modern life with many of us having developed a pattern of ordering behaviour over the course of our lives (from Happy Meals to hangover cures). This creates a unique, and less cited, challenge for McDonald’s’ reinvention: how do you break people out of the default buying behaviours they’ve developed over decades?
In its simplest sense, the new format is designed to improve customer experience, which will in turn drive frequency and a shift in buying behaviour (for some) towards higher margin items. The most important shift in buying patterns is to drive reappraisal of the Signature range to make sure they maximise potential spend from those customers who can afford, and want, a more premium experience.

Answer:
a. The nominal interest rate is 0.5%, and the real interest rate is -2.5%.
b. The purchasing power of money in the account will reduce.
Explanation:
a. What is the nominal and real annual interest rate on the account? The nominal interest rate is %, and the real interest rate is %.
From the question, we have:
Nominal interest rate = 0.5%
Inflation rate = 3%
In economics, the real is interest rate is calculated as follows:
Real interest rate = Nominal interest rate - Inflation rate = 0.5% - 3% = -2.5%
Therefore, the nominal interest rate is 0.5%, and the real interest rate is -2.5%.
b. What will happen to the purchasing power of the money you place in the account over time? The purchasing power of money in the account will
From the question, the interest rate attached to the savings account is a nominal interest rate. Since the nominal interest rate, unlike the real interest rate, is an interest rate that is not adjusted for inflation, the purchasing power of money in the account will reduce.
Incontestability clause - This tells us the insurance company may not contest the validity of the policy during the insured's lifetime for any reason, including fraud, if the policy has been in effect for a predetermined duration
What is incontestability clause?
An incontestability clause in a life insurance policy safeguards the policyholder and forbids the insurer from changing any aspect of the insurance coverage as a result of a misinterpretation or false statements made by the insured (the policyholder) after a certain amount of time. A life insurance policy's provider cannot revoke any statement after a specified period of time thanks to an incontestability provision. This provision is frequently regarded as offering policyholders the most robust defense.
