Answer:

short-termism

Is the acting upon short term vision of the needs and problems that must be addressed. It is a problem because the vision that is important is the Long path vision.

What is “longpath” and why did Wallach develop the concept?

Is a concept that combines long term vision and goal oriented. Wallach develop that concept as he did not find a term that frame what is intended in the long run that was goal oriented.

Briefly discuss each of the three ways of thinking that Wallach describes.

Transgenerational thinking: Thinking the impact of your actions in the future generations to come.

Futures thinking: The future is not related only with better technology but with how will human relationships, moral, art and feelings like compassion will evolve.

Telos thinking: This is an invitation to think having in mind what is the "ultimate aim" of our actions as little of they might be. It is important to raise the question: how this action that I am doing now will impact or change the future in 20,50 or 100 years to come.

How does Wallach relate the future to a part of speech?

Wallach make a link between Thomas Khun quote: “People don’t shift unless they have a vision of what it is they’re shifting to.” an Martin Luther King Speech of "I Have a Dream" he says that that speech is successful as it shows what is the vision of what a dream must looks like

andre [41]

Answer:

The growth of the real GDP per capita was 7.18%

Explanation:

It is important to establish that:

Future Value = Present Value × ((1 + r)^t), given that r is the interest rate and t is the time period

Real GDP per worker increased from $40,000 to $320,000 in 30 years

Therefore, we have;

320000 = 40000*(1+r)^30

(1 + r)^30 = 8

1 + r = 8^1/30

1 + r = 1.0718

r = 0.0718 = 7.18%

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

Liquidity measures for the year 2017 are as under:

Current Ratio = 1.5

Working Capital = $100,000

Acid Test Ratio = 0.95

Accounts Receivables Turnover = 10 times

Inventory turn over = 4 times

Explanation:

Current Ratio

Current Ratio = Current Assets ÷ Current Liabilities

Dec 31, 2017 Dec 31, 2016

$300,000 ÷ $200,000 $245,000 ÷ $155,000

Current Ratio 1.5 1.6

Working Capital

Working Capital = Current Assets – Current Liabilities

Dec 31, 2017 Dec 31, 2016

$300,000 – $200,000 $245,000 – $155,000

Working Capital $100,000 $90,000

Acid Test Ratio

Acid Test Ratio = (Current Assets – Inventory) ÷ Current Liabilities

Dec 31, 2017 Dec 31, 2016

($300,000 – $110,000) ÷ $200,000 ($245,000 – $90,000) ÷ $155,000

Acid Test Ratio 0.95 1.00

Accounts Receivables Turnover Times

Accounts Receivables Turnover = Credit Sales ÷ Average Accounts Receivables

Average Accounts Receivables = (Opening Accounts Receivables + Closing Accounts Receivables) ÷ 2

Average Accounts Receivables = ($55,000 + $95,000) ÷ 2 = $75,000

Accounts Receivables Turnover = $750,000 ÷ $75,000 = 10 Times

Inventory Turnover Times

Inventory Turnover = Cost of Goods Sold ÷ Average Inventory

Average Inventory = (Opening Inventory + Closing Inventory) ÷ 2

Average Inventory = ($110,000 + $90,000) ÷ 2 = $100,000

Inventory Turnover = $400,000 ÷ $100,000 = 4 Times
