Answer: c. Financial markets are a critical components of economic success 
Explanation:
Economic success runs on companies and individuals being able to produce goods and services for the economy. To be able to do so they need capital to invest and most times they don't have that capital. 
This is where Finance comes in. It connects people who do not have the capital but want to produce to those that have the capital but do not necessarily want to produce. 
The huge amounts of money that finance attracts is channelled to those who need it. They then produce and the economy becomes successful. 
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
Employees frequently complain about the inconsistent assistance they receive from the HR department due to its large size.
Explanation:
Having a specialized, embedded HR unit is beneficial to each, specific unit, as  HR would cater to every department and its special needs. On the contrary, centralized HR tends to give inconsistent help, as they always assign a different person or team when a problem arises.
So, if the employees complained that they cannot receive adequate help from the centralized HR, it would be wise to do what Roberta suggested.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
4.16%
Explanation:
to calculate Singapore's economic growth rate we can use the future value formula (we could also use the rule of 72 but it is not very exact):
future value = present value x (1 + r) ⁿ
- future value = 900
- present value = 450
- n = 17
- r = ?
900 = 450 (1 + r)¹⁷
(1 + r)¹⁷ = 900 / 450 = 2
1 + r = ¹⁷√2 = 1.0416
r = 1.0416 - 1 = 0.0416 or 4.16%
 
        
             
        
        
        
0.08x+0.057 (6000-x)=472.5
Solve for x
X=4500 invested at 8%
