2 quarters 254000
3 quarters 258064
4 quarters 262193
5 quarters 266388
6 quarters 270650
7 quarters 274981
8 quarters 279380
9 quarters 283851
10 quarters 288392
11 quarters 293006
12 quarters 297694
13 quarters 302458
14 quarters 307297
15 quarters 312214
16 quarters 317209
17 quarters 322284
18 quarters 327441
19 quarters 332680
20 quarters 338003
11% = (1 + i/4)⁴
i = 0.106
quarterly interest = 2.65%
Now we need to determine the present value of this annuity and our discount rate is 2.65%. I will use an excel spreadsheet to determine the present value of the 20 quarterly payments and then add the initial payment.
$4,425,417 + $800,000 = $5,225,417

2)B, i think... not sure
Answer: D. The actual value of the contract is less than $30 million for each year he plays.
Explanation:
Given that Mark sherzer will be paid $15 million per year for 14 years reflects a contract whose value at the time of signing is ($15 million × 14) = $210 million. However, the payment would not be paid at the of signing but spread over a period of 14 years with $15 million being splashed out annually. However, considering the time value of money, whereby the present value of a fixed amount decreases with time. Hence in actual sense, the $210 million face worth of the contract will actually be less than $30 million [$210/7(playing years)] as time progresses on the fixed amount paid yearly due to reduction in the value of the present value as time progresses.
Answer: necessity entrepreneur
Explanation: While an entrepreneur is described as someone who organizes and operates a business venture and assumes much of the associated risks, necessity entrepreneurs only do so out of necessity (the quality or state of being necessary, unavoidable, or absolute requisite). As such, they are individuals ranging from educated persons to street sellers especially in developing countries who create small businesses or enterprises out of the need to survive. In Michael Peters' case, he lost his job due to downsizing which caused him to apply his skills and talents to starting up a business.
Answer: Mental budgeting.
Explanation: This concept is very much in consistent with the concept of mental accounting. The concept of mental accounting says that a person has already classified the areas where he will be spending his income and each area has its own importance and is given particular amount to that. Contrary to this, however, the mental budgeting is the phenomenon which uses the same technique but in such a way that it calculates the amount to be spend on multiple areas beforehand and using the rational cognitive ability, imagine the possibility that if an area would be left without spending money on that, would that help him save or not.
