Answer:

a. Sometimes candidates unpopular with the party leadership reach the top.

Explanation:

Under the primary system there is voting on the ballots which is secret in nature and under the caucus system people vote after listening to the individual nominees and then accordingly to the candidate they like.

In this manner, the candidates who are not even belonging to some recognized or popular parties are in leadership as their individual speech is too alluring to the people present for voting that they vote for that specific candidate.

Thus, the correct answer is:

Statement a.

Regina Henry deposited $20,000 in a money market certificates that provides interest of 10% compound and quarterly if the amount

Andrews [41]

Answer:

Regina: Final amount=$62,769

Will Smith: Present value: $213,216

Explanation:

Regina:

Compound quarterly means that each quarter of the year ( every three months) she will receive a 10% interest rate of her deposit. To convert this periodic rate to an annual rate( because the problem ask you about years) you use this formula :

Annual rate= ((1+Periodic rate)^(# periods))-1

In this case the number of periods means the number of quarters a year have, which is 4

Annual rate= ((1+10%)^(4))-1= 46.41%

To find the final amount Regina has after 3 year we use this formula:

Final Capital (FC)= Initial Capital (IC)*[(1+interest(i))]^(number of periods(n))

FC= $20,000*[(1+46.41%)^3]

FC=$62,769 I attached an excel figure which shows a more detailed data.

Will Smith

Semiannually means that every 6 months Will Smith will receive a 12% interest rate of the initial investment. To convert this periodic rate to an annual rate you use the same above formula:

Annual rate= ((1+Periodic rate)^(# periods))-1

In each year Will will receive twice the interest rate over the initial investment

Annual rate = ((1+12%)^(2))-1

Annual rate= 25.44%

The present value of $80,000 from now to 5 years is calculated using the formula attached, but I used Excel. First you have to copy all the cash flows of the 5 years. Then, you set the interest rate that in this case is the one that you found above( 25.44%). Finally you use the financial formula "NPV" in this way:

"=NPV(25.44%;C4:C8)" I used C4:C8 because in those excel cells i copied the cash flows.

I got that the present value of this amount is $213,216

What is something I can create or invent that hasn't been invented yet, that could make me a millionaire?

olchik [2.2K]

Explanation:

The products and services offered today through economic systems exist to satisfy human needs. The higher the level of satisfaction of needs met, the greater the positioning of a product or service that can make an individual millionaire.

To create or invent something that does not yet exist and be extremely profitable, it is necessary to think about human priorities, such as health and technology. An invention that could be successful would be the development of a cure for diseases such as drugs that destroy cancer cells and create other healthy cells without side effects to humans, or in the current world context, an inexpensive and easily developed anti-coronavirus drug.

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

A machine costing $251,800 was purchased May 1. The machine should be obsolete after three years and, therefore, no longer useful to the company. The estimated salvage value is $3,400.

A) Straight-line:

Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)

Annual depreciation= (251,800 - 3,400)/3= $82,800

B) Double declining balance:

Annual depreciation= 2*[(original cost - residual value)/estimated life (years)]

Year 1= (248,400/3)*2= 165,600

Year 2= 55,200

Year 3= 18,400

eduard

Answer:

Late Majority.

Explanation:

The adoption of a product by consumers is divided into five categories, namely, <u>innovators, early adopters, early majority, late majority, and laggards</u>. Such customers are known as adopters who adopt to new technology differently. The category of adopters was proposed by Everett Rogers in 1962.

In the given scenario, Emy exemplifies Late majority adopter.

Late Majority adopters are those adopters who adopts new innovation or technology after observing that the product has been adopted fruitfully by the majority of society. They rank on the second last position of the adopters. They are more skeptical to the product before adopting it. So, Emy fits the late majority category of adopters as she is skeptical about the fancy device shown by her friend.
