Answer:
12.18%
Explanation:
Present value = $34,700
Future Value = $173,500
Time (n) = 14 years
Interest Rate = i
Future Value = Present Value * (1+i)^n
$173,500 = $34,700 * (1 + i)^14
(1 + i)^14 = $173,500/$34,700
(1 + i)^14 = 5
1 + i = 5^(1/14)
1 + i = 1.1218284
i = 1.1218284 - 1
i = 0.1218284
i = 12.18%
So, the annual interest rate she must earn is 12.18%.
Six
sigma is a philosophy and set of methods companies use to eliminate defects in
their products and processes<span>.
It also seeks to reduce variation in the processes that
lead to product defects. It measures quality,
process for Continuous Improvement and enabler for culture
change so culturally six sigma means companies must learn how to be nearly
flawless in executing key processes and achieving business imperatives. Quantitatively six sigma means the average process generates no
more than 3.4 defects per million. Therefore, based on the figures given above
the defects per million opportunities (DPMO) is 15, 333 and the defective rate
us 1.533% and the passed rate is 98.467%.</span>
Answer:
Timeline and tagging settings
Explanation:
Timeline and tagging settings is a feature in social media applications such as Face-book, Twi-tter, Insta-gram etc. that allows you to control being linked to other people's posts.
When this settings is properly configured, you will only be linked to the posts of people you allowed, in this case it will be your mutual friends rather than the general public.
Explanation:
Let’s explore one by one as proposed:
An oil cartel raises oil prices: all prices in the oil-related products will increase making it more expensive for companies to be able to afford employees. As the US economy is heavily based on oil import and consumption, the unemployment rate (let´s call it UR from now on) would increase. Countries that export more than import could benefit from this scenario.
The U.S. dollar gains value against foreign currencies: It would be more expensive to produce goods in the US as its currency becomes stronger. Hence companies could choose to produce overseas, increasing the UR. One of the factors that attract investments is a cheap currency, meaning that a company could operate there at lower costs than anywhere else.
American consumers expect higher income in the future: As fights about average salary would arise between employees and companies, igniting even sindicalization, its proper to think that the same as above could occur; companies could choose to produce overseas in countries less demanding of labor rights and income, such as China provinces (I would recommend for you to watch American Factory, a awarded Netflix documentary about that subject).
Brazil experiences economic growth and increases its demand for U.S. exports: as I said in the first alternative, a country that has increased or more expensive exports could benefit from that creating more jobs, in this case decreasing the UR. If Brazil demands more US products, more has to be produced by the country, which would mean more people employed in this attractive sector.
U.S. real estate values rise: to be honest, it only affects indirectly. As housing becomes more expensive, people have to work more to be able to afford housing. That would mean they seeking better-paying jobs or in the absence of those being homeless of at least unable to buy a home. We could argue that the UR would decrease because it becomes more expensive to afford housing and hence people would migrate more but that’s a long shot rationale.
Answer:
Deposited amount will decrease by 1% and $2,000
Explanation:
Inflation rate will effect the value of money due to decrease in purchasing power of the currency holder.
We will use following formula to calculate the impact
Nominal rate = Real interest rate + Inflation rate
5% = Real interest rate + 6%
Real interest rate = 5% - 6% = -1%
The deposited amount will be decreased by 1%.
Deposit value = $200,000 x ( 1 - 1% ) = $198,000
Decrease in value = $200,000 - $198,000 = $2,000
