Answer:

B

Explanation:

The first thing to do here is to calculate what the amount of money invested would be in 25 years given the interest rate.

Mathematically, that can be written as;

V = P(1 + r)^n

Where V is the future value

P is the present value which is $8,000

r is interest rate which is 6% (6/100 = 0.06)

n is the number of years which is 25 years

Now plugging these values into the equation, we have

V = 8,000(1 + 0.06)^25

V = 8,000(1.06)^25

V = $34,334.97 which is approximately $34,335

We can now proceed to get what this future value would be today if we take the inflation rate into consideration

Mathematically, this can work as follows

P = V(1 + i)^n

Where P is the present value of the money when the inflation is taken into consideration

V is the future value of the money which was calculated from above as $34,335

i is the inflation rate which is 1.8% per annum = (1.8/100 = 0.018)

n is the number of years which is 25

Substituting these values, we have;

P = 34,335/(1 + 0.018)^25

P = 34,335/(1.018)^25

P = 21,980.75

Which is approximately P = $21,981

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Sales volume variance $26,250 Favorable

Explanation:

<em>The sales volume variance is calculated as the difference between the budgeted and the actual sales volume multiplied by he standard contribution per unit</em>

                                                                       Units

Budgeted sales units                                 225,000

Actual sales units                                      <u> 230,000</u>

Sales volume                                              5,000 favorable

Standard contribution(9-3.75)              <u>     × $5.25</u>

Sales volume variance                        <u>    $ 26,250 </u>

Sales volume variance                        $26,250 Favorable

<em>Note standard contribution = standard selling price - standard variable cost</em>

Which type of agreement assures that a broker will receive compensation regardless of who procures the buyer?a. Net listingb. Ex
natita [175]

Answer:

b. Exclusive right to sell

Explanation:

-Net listing is when the agent is able to keep the difference when a property is sold for more than the asking price.

-Exclusive right to sell is when the seller gives the agent the right to market the property and accepts to pay the comission to the agent if the property is sold during the period of the listing.

-Open listing is when a property has different agents and the one that gets the buyer receives the comission.

-Exclusive agency is when the seller gives an agent the right to market a property but the seller is able to sell the property to a buyer that was not found by the agent and in that case, the seller doesn't have to pay the comission to the agent.

According to this, the answer is that the type of agreement that assures that a broker will receive compensation regardless of who procures the buyer is exclusive right to sell because the agent is granted the right to sell the property and the seller agrees to pay the comission if the property is sold during the time of the listing last and it doesn't matter who finds the buyer.

zysi [14]

Answer: If the CEO decides to go with same advertising message which was effective for the USA in Brazil, this my be a wrong decision. The products technical standards may be similar for both countries but the way people would react to same advertisement would differ for both countries.

Explanation:

This would lead to the advertising messages changing so as to achieve the desired results, factors that would affect this decision are

1. The message

2. Pricing

The message been passed from the advertisement has to be in such a way that it shows the Brazilian culture which differs from America.

Pricing of the product would also play an important role as there would already be existing competitors for diapers in Brazil. Your price should match or compete with the prices been offered by your competitors.
