Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer: The answer is given below

Explanation:

• What are some of the key environmental forces that have changed the way projects are managed?

Some environmental forces which have

altered the way that projects are managed are the knowledge growth, product life cycle, technological changes, global competition, organization downsizing, and time to market.

• What has been the effect of these forces on the management of projects?

The effect of these forces on the management projects is that it resulted in more projects for every organization, it also resulted in changing structures of organization, accountability, the need for rapid completion of projects, the linking of projects to the strategies of the organization and the alliance with the external organizations.

• Why is the implementation of projects important to strategic planning and the project manager?

Strategic plans are typically implemented through projects. This could be through a new information system, a new product, or new plant for new product. It should be noted that the project manager is responsible for the timely completion of the project within the budget, and also within specifications in order for the customers to be satisfied. In cases whereby the project is not being linked to a organization's strategic plan, the resources that are being devoted to the project will result into wastage.

You want to buy a house that costs $140,000. You have $14,000 for a down payment, but your credit is such that mortgage companie

rodikova [14]

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Explanation:

Given the following :

Cost of house = $140,000

Down payment = $14000

Take back mortgage = 126000 = PV

Rate (r) = 5%

Yearly payment one can afford = 22000

a. If the loan was amortized over 3 years, how large would each annual payment be? Could you afford those payments?

Number of period = 3

Using the relation:

PMT = r(PV) / 1 - (1 + r)^-n

PMT = 0.05(126000) / 1 - 1.05^-3

PMT = 6300 / (1-0.8638375)

PMT = 46,268.23

He won't be able to afford it, as the monthly payment is larger than the affordable amount of $22000

b. If the loan was amortized over 30 years, what would each payment be? Could you afford those payments?

PMT = r(PV) / 1 - (1 + r)^-n

PMT = 0.05(126000) / 1 - 1.05^-30

PMT = 6300 / (1-0.2313774)

PMT = 8196.48

He would be able to afford it, as the monthly payment is lower than the affordable amount of $22000

c. To satisfy the seller, the 30-year mortgage loan would be written as a balloon note, which means that at the end of the third year, you would have to make the regular payment plus the remaining balance on the loan. What would the loan balance be at the end of Year 3, and what would the balloon payment be?

Present value of remaining balance after the 3rd year:

Present Value (PV) = PMT[(1 - (1 + r)^-n) / r]

Where

PMT = periodic payment = 8196.48

r = Interest rate = 5% = 0.05

n = number of periods = 30 - 3 = 27

PV = 8196.48[(1 - (1 + 0.05)^-27) / 0.05]

PV = 8196.48[(1 - (1. 05)^-27) / 0.05]

PV = 8196.48[0.7321516 / 0.05]

PV = 120,021.32

Balloon payment :

120,021.32 + 8196.48 = 128,217.80

Command-and-control (sometimes called direct control) is when the government passes legislation specifically regulating an activ

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

1. Under command-and-control regulation, the government will sometimes specify the technology that firms must use in production. TRUE, e.g. currently the US government banned Huawei from providing 5G technology in the US due to security concerns even though that provides the best 5G technology in the world.

2. The government may decide on a specific amount of pollution that firms can legally emit. TRUE, the EPA sets the standards and companies must follow them, whether they are too high or too low maybe subject to an extensive debate.

3. A limitation of a command-and-control regulation is that firms have no incentive to remove pollution once they are within the legal pollution limits. TRUE, if the company is complying with current regulation, then that is all it needs to keep functioning without any problem.

4. Command and control situations are always the best option when it comes to reducing the amount of pollution. FALSE, when is the government or Congress the most efficient at doing something. Efficiency is not a characteristic of any government entity.

5. Command-and-control is more flexible than market-based regulation. FALSE, the terms command and control should give you an idea that government intervention can be anything but flexible.

6. A command-and-control regulation is subject to political considerations. TRUE, command and control regulation is set up by government agencies or Congress and both are political entities by definition. E.g. some governments impose harder environmental controls through the EPA, others impose softer or no controls at all.
