In 1626, Dutchman Peter Minuit purchased Manhattan Island from a local Native American tribe. Historians estimate that the price

he paid for the island was about $24 worth of goods, including beads, trinkets, cloth, kettles, and axe heads. Many people find it laughable that Manhattan Island would be sold for $24, but you need to consider the future value (FV) of that price in more current times. If the $24 purchase price could have been invested at a 6% annual interest rate, what is its value as of 2018 (392 years later)?

Answer:

$199,576,970,307.56

Explanation:

Given:

Price paid for the island = $24

Annual interest rate, r = 6%

Duration, n = 392 years

Now,

Future value is given as:

Future value = Present value × ( 1 + r )ⁿ

on substituting the respective values, we get

Future value = $24 × ( 1 + 0.06 )³⁹²

or

Future value = $24 × 8315707096.148

or

Future value = $199,576,970,307.56

<span>Statue of frauds is generally the requirement of particular contracts to be in writing and signed by all parties involved in an agreement. In the context of real estate, the statue of frauds protects tenants from unfair eviction or tenancy termination. Similarly, it protects property buyers from sellers’ “change of mind” or refusal to sell the property on the grounds that the seller obtained a higher offer price from another interested buyer. However, there are exemptions to the statue of frauds which vary from state to state. </span>

Answer:

Authority - Responsibility Balance & Incentive Development.

Explanation:

Authority refers to the power to command, give orders to somebody. And enjoying the position of having right to get it obeyed.

Responsibility refers to being in a position of accountability, answerability for an allocated task or job & its performance.

For Eg : A manager  given responsibility to complete a task of production targets achievement, is also given authority to command the entire staff at the production site.

Joe had problem while working for someone else that :- he had responsibility to complete employers allocated task, but may be not given enough authority to do so, thats why he felt he is being 'commanded by, working for' someone else. Also, he doesn't owe the rewards of his acts, so lacks incentive.

Being an entrepreneur will entitle him with managerial responsibilities, but at the same time will also give him higher authority to take his own independent decisions. And, he is himself responsible for his acts, will bear losses or enjoy profits for himself. So, it also incentivises him to work for himself.
