Answer:
- <u><em>d) increases as the interest rate decreases.</em></u>
Explanation:
<em>Present value</em> is the value today; future value is the value some time in the future.
The mere notion of the value of money in time should tell you that, further away in time (towards the future) a sum of money is found, the lower its value today.
Then, you should be able to rule out some propositions that are contrary to that intuition:
- a<em>) decreases as the time period decreases</em> ↔ clearly false: the present value increases as the time period decreases
- <em>e) is directly related to the time period</em>. ↔ clearly false: the present value is inversely related to the time period.
How is the present value related to the future value?
They are directly related: the higher a lump sum in the future the higher the value of it in the present; more money is more money always. More money in the future has more value in the present; less money in the future has less value in the present. Thus, the option <em>b). is inversely related to the future value</em> is false
How is the present value related to the interest rate?. Which one is true?
- c) is directly related to the interest rate, or
- d) increases as the interest rate decreases
The present value is calculated discounted the future value at the interest rate. The interest rate is in the denominator of the equation to pass from future value to present value. Thus, they are inversely related (c is false); the less the interest rate, the higher the present value of a future amount (confirm d is true).
Therefore, the correct answer is that <em>the present of a lump sum future amount: </em><em><u>d) increases as the interest rate decreases.</u></em>

Suppose $250,000 is used to establish an annuity that earns 6%, compounded quarterly, and pays $6000 at the end of each quarter. It will take about 120 quarters until the account balance reaches $0.
Amount invested (Present value) = $250000
Quarterly payment (At the end of each quarter) (P) = $4500
Interest Rate (Quarterly) (r) = 6% /4
= 1.5% = 0.015
A number of quarters (n) = ?
Future value at the end = 0
Present value of Annuity formula:
Present value = P × 
250000 = 4500 × 
250000 = 300000 × 
250000 / 300000 = 
0.83333 = 
n = 120
Hence is shall take 120 Quarters until the account balance is $0.

Answer:
The answer is: B) the areas in which the firm may have an advantage and how much various organizational parts enhance each other.
Explanation:
Business level strategy deals with the business's position in the market relative to its competition and the forces of competition. This is why it focuses on the business's core competencies and how its customers's needs are satisfied. Stronger core competencies equal greater consumer satisfaction which equals larger profit.
It would be C because women are thought to be physically weaker and not as useful as men. Women can be useful but in certain professions its a lot harder for them. Also men tend to be more willing to work when they get injured or such.
Answer: c.
In a competitive market, there are many producers competing to provide consumers the products they needed and thus they cannot dictate prices.
If a surplus occurs, there is an excess of quantity supplied and since producers won't be able to sell all their products, they tend or are forced to lower their price.
The reverse happens when there is a shortage. When there is less supply in the market, price increases.
Surplus and shortage in a competitive market, therefore, will cause shifts in the demand and supply curves that tend to eliminate the surplus or shortage.
