Answer:

13.91% and 7.45%

Explanation:

In this question, we use the RATE formula that is shown below:

In the first case,

Given that,

Present value = $900

Assuming figure - Future value or Face value = $1,000

PMT = 1,000 × 12% = $120

NPER = 10 years

The formula is shown below:

= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)

The present value come in negative

So, after solving this, the yield to maturity is 13.91%

In the second case,

Given that,

Present value = $900

Assuming figure - Future value or Face value = $1,000

PMT = 1,000 × 12% ÷ 2 = $60

NPER = 10 years

The formula is shown below:

= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)

The present value come in negative

So, after solving this, the yield to maturity is 7.45%

In your own words.<br><br> Why is it important to the business to motivate employees?..

Alexeev081 [22]

This is mainly opinionated, and since I'm young I may be wrong.

I say it's good to motivate them because then they will do a better job at their task and will make you seem like a good boss/person, especially if it's a decent pay that will keep them being able to live. With the motivation, they might even remember more things (Such as: If you work at a gas station, you remember to upsell people when a deal is going on, whereas unmotivated people forget or just don't want to do it and be lazy). It's the same effect of giving a kid a piece of candy for being good, doing chores, or getting a harder question right.

c. present the rationale for the new policies at the memo's beginning.

d. highlight controversial issues, which could arise after the new policies have been implemented, in the memo.

From the question, we are informed that Rubina is the director of procurement at Baines Corporation and that she plans to send a memo to the employees in her department outlining some changes in the company's personnel policies as she believes that most of the employees will view the changes favorably.

Since she is of the opinion that most of the employees will view the changes favorably, she can describe the bottom line of the policy changes at the beginning of the memo. This is because she believes the memo will get a favourable audience. In a situation whereby she is not sure if it will be favourable, in the begining of the memo, she may have to offer and apology and tell them the rationale behind the memo before going into further details.
