Answer:
The annual rate of return of the invesment will be -14,97% 
Explanation:
The initial investment is 45.000 and after 5 years the value of the investment is only 20.000. Here we can see a destruction of value (20.000 < 45.000). In finance, the time takes an essential part in calculation, so through the interest rate we calculated how bad was the investment in annual terms. The formula is as follows: Final investment value=(Initial investment*(1+interest rate)^(total years)) in our case would be: 20.000=(45.000*(1+interest rate)^(5)) From this formula we got -14,97%
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
2,000
Explanation:
On average, a person who have a full time job works will work approximately 2,000 hours each year reason been that we have 5 working days in a week and standard working hours in a weeks is 40 hours (5days×8hours daily) which means 8 hours daily , secondly we have 52 weeks in a year, now assuming that person takes 2 weeks off each year for his or her vacation we would have 50 weeks left (52 weeks-2 weeks vacation) which means that the person would be working 50 weeks of the year multiply by 40 hours a week which will give us a total of 2,000 hours each year.
40 work hours weekly× 50 weeks yearly 
=2,000 hours of work each year
Therefore on average, a person with a full time job works approximately 2,000 hours each year.
