Answer:

<u></u>

  • <u>Option b. 25.89%</u>

Explanation:

The question requires to calculate the annual percentage growth rate assuming it was constant.

The final earnings are equal to the initial earnings multiplied by 1 + the growth rate, raised to the number of periods.

Here:

  • initial earnings = $0.50
  • final earnings = $5.00
  • number of periods = 10 years

Then, your equation is:

  • $5.00 = $0.50 (1 + rate)¹⁰

Solving, you get:

      (1+rate)^{10}=5/0.50\\\\(1+rate)^{10}=10\\\\(1+rate)=10^{(1/10)}\\\\1+rate=10^{0.1}\\\\1+rate=1.2589\\\\rate=1.2589-1\\\\rate=0.2589\\\\rate=25.89\%

Thus, the answer is the option b. 25.89%

<h2>Yes I keep my feeling controlled by "Intrapersonal intelligence"</h2>

Explanation:

The term "Intrapersonal" intelligence might be something new but it is one of the soft skill which completely talks about "Personal emotions"

It is highly difficult to manage feelings both which are positive and negative in nature but a person who can control the emotions are the best leaders and most successful person. So a person who possess good "intrapersonal" skills will never yell at anyone or hurt anyone at work and will find other possible ways to solve it or pin point about the mistake.

The answer is $100. The consumer surplus is $100 because that is the difference between what Anna has set as her ceiling for the purchase of the bicycle, $500, and then subtracted by the amount that she actually does pay, $400, that difference is what is referred to as consumer surplus. What the consumer is mentally committed to paying minus what the consumer actually pays.
