Can someone assist with my question.... really important, semester coming up soon. Thank you in advance

You are depositing $3,000 in a retirement account today and expect to earn an average return of 7.5 percent on this money. How m

GrogVix [38]

If we're expecting 7.5% of an increase of our $3,000 in 40 years, then we need to figure out how much of an increase we will get for the 5 plus years.

1.We're constantly dividing until we get the left side to 5 (years).

7.5% -- 40 (Half of 40 is 20, so let's divide by 2 on both sides)

3.75% -- 20 (Half of 20 is 10, so let's divide by 2 on both sides)

1.875% -- 10 (Half of 10 is 5, so let's divide 2 on both sides)

0.9375% -- 5 (We've reached our goal!)

2. Now we have to plug in.

$3,000 x 7.5 = 22,500 (Initial)

Our New Problem with 45 Years Total:

Answer: $3,000 x 8.4375 = $25,312.5

(I never completed a problem like this before, so I hope that this helps. Goodluck.)

transnational

Explanation:

A business strategy sets the overall direction for the business because it focuses on defining how a business would achieve its goals, objectives, and mission; as well as the funds and material resources required to implement or execute the business plan.

A transnational strategy can be defined as a set of planned actions through which a company focuses on establishing other branches in foreign markets. Thus, there exist some level of centralization, cooperation and interdependence between its headquarter, branches, subsidiaries and retail stores.

This ultimately implies that, a transnational strategy simply involves companies adopting the following approach;

I. Focusing efforts on ensuring local responsiveness.

II. Aggressively reducing operational costs.

III. Systematically transferring ideas and innovations among subsidiaries.

Hence, companies following the aforementioned approach are considered to be following a transnational strategy.
