Answer:

Given Wealth: $100,000 (w)

Annual Income: $100,000 (y)

<u>Equation: Annual Consumption (C)  </u>

Annual Consumption (C) = w + Ry/T

Substitute all value in equation  

C = 100,000 + (40 × 100,000)/60

C = 100,000 + (4,000,000)/60

C = 4,100,000/60

C = 68333.33

<u>At 45 Years Old: </u>

Annual Saving 68333.33 is spend every year

= 100,000 – 68333.33

= $ 31,667

Then,

= $31,667 × 25

= $791,675

<u>Consumer Wealth </u>

Consumer Wealth = $100,000 + $791,675

Consumer Wealth = $891,675

<u>Annual Consumption More: (i) $1 Million Lottery </u>

C = $1000000 + (40 × 100,000) / 60

C = $1000000 + $4000000 / 60

C = $5000000 / 60

C = $83333.3

<u>Annual Income is $120,000 </u>

C = 100,000 + (40 × 120,000)/60

C = 100,000 + 4800000

C = 4900000/60

C = $81,666.6

At 1 million lottery, his consumption is high

Evaluate Microsoft’s product and marketing evolution over the years. What has the company done well, and where did it falter?
OverLord2011 [107]

Explanation:

Microsoft is a giant technology company with worldwide influence.

Its success and reputation have ensured the company the position of the most valuable company in the world by market capital.

The popularization of the Windows Operating System, worldwide, was the product that consolidated the company as a giant in the business world. Technological companies, should focus on innovation, as each day more advances in technology appear to correct possible system errors, make the user's performance and use better and make production costs cheaper. With regard to the Operating System for computers, Microsoft has always evolved in launching new, more evolved versions, and making the previous ones obsolete for use, but one of the company's failures was to have lost the timing to develop an OS aimed at the use in cell phones, since that the company tried to enter this market, but was unsuccessful, and was defeated by its biggest competitors: Google and Apple.

Friendly's quick loans, inc., offers you "$4.10 for $5.10 or i knock on your door." this means you get $4.10 today and repay $5.
storchak [24]
If it costs $5.10 to get $4.10 from Friendly's then the loanee would pay about 24% which is a pretty high interest rate and presumably the interest rate would decrease with a higher amount loaned as on a larger amount the actual amount of interest earned would still be significant with a lower interest rate.
