Answer:

B) willingly accept end dates dictated by customers or sponsors

Explanation:

Usually when a project manager faces serious schedule challenges, it is because the schedule was not properly determined, something went wrong and was significant enough to delay the whole schedule, or the schedule was extremely tight on purpose.

When the project manager is facing serious challenges or problems, the last thing he/she should do is accept dates imposed or dictated by customers or sponsors. He/she is already facing serious challenges and there is no reason why those challenges should increase.

What he/she should do is elaborate a schedule that can be completed on time and then persuade the stakeholders that this is the best possible schedule in terms of a cost-benefit analysis.

horsena [70]

Answer:

the firm will have a loss of 6.414,97‬

Break-even rate = 11.34%

Explanation:

We calcualte the present value of a lump sum to know the present sale value:

$\frac{Nominal}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Nominal: 154,000

time 5 years

rate 0.13

$\frac{154000}{(1 + 0.13)^{5} } = PV$

PV 83,585.03

the current sale price 83,585.03

given a cost of <u> (90,000) </u>

the firm will have a loss of 6.414,97‬

To break event the present value should be 90,000:

$\frac{154000}{(1 + r)^{5} } = 90,000$

$\sqrt{5}{\frac{154000}{90,000}} -= (1 + r)$

rate = 0.113411345 = 11.34%
