Answer:
Inflation in 2012:


= 10%
Inflation in 2013:


= 9.09%
Inflation in 2014:


= 5%
Real rate of interest = Nominal - inflation
Given that,
Nominal rate = 8%
Therefore,
Real interest rate is as follows:
2012:
= 8% - 10%
= -2%
2013:
= 8% - 9.09%
= -1.09%
2014:
= 8% - 5%
= 3%
$6000 at 8% grows to:
= 1000 × 1.08
= $6,480 in one year
which is invested again to grow to $6,998.4 in two years
which is invested again to grow to $7,558.272 in three years
so,
Total gain:

= 25.9712%
The price level increases in three years by:


= 26%
So,
Total real rate of return:
= Total gain - Percentage increase in prices
= 25.9712 - 26
= -0.0288%
Answer: The answer is B mail carriers
Explanation:
Answer:
8% and 4.8%
Explanation:
In this question, we use the Rate formula which is shown in the spreadsheet.
The NPER represents the time period.
Given that,
Present value = $1,294.54
Future value or Face value = $1,000
PMT = 1,000 × 11% = $110
NPER = 20 years
The formula is shown below:
= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after solving this,
1. The pretax cost of debt is 8%
2. And, the after tax cost of debt would be
= Pretax cost of debt × ( 1 - tax rate)
= 8% × ( 1 - 0.40)
= 4.8%
Answer: Pooled interdependence
Explanation:
Pooled interdependence is a loose organizational model in which each business unit carries out it's own separate functions, might not interact with the other units and does not depend on other units directly even though it contributes to the accomplishment of the organizational goals and success.
Pooled interdependence is often seen as the loosest form of interdependence in organizations. Although the departments may not interact directly and may not depend on each other directly in the pooled interdependence model, every department contributes it's own individual pieces to the achievement of the same overall puzzle.
This creates a blind, indirect dependence on each other and the performance of a department has an impact on others as a department's failures may lead to the failure of the entire organization.
