What investment type typically carries the least risk

Business

Certificates of Deposit (CDs), U.S Treasury Bills, and savings accounts are generally regarded as the least risky investments, given that they are backed - at least up to a certain limit - by the U.S government. 

CDs are essentially fixed-term savings accounts, which means you must deposit your funds for a set amount of time, until the account reaches what is called "maturity." Withdrawing funds before this point typically leads to a fee. In return for sacrificing liquidity, CDs tend to offer higher interest rates than normal savings accounts. These rates are most often fixed, though they sometimes come with a feature that enables you to readjust your interest rates once over your account's lifetime. Bank-issued CDs are also insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) for up to $250,000 per depositor, though this figure has dropped to $100,000 January 1, 2014. Credit Union-issued CDs are insured by another government agency, the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), which provides the same coverage as the FDIC. 

U.S Treasury Bills are sold by the government to investors as a way to fund short-term government debts. If you purchase a U.S Treasury Bill, you are basically loaning the government a certain amount of money in return for the government's promise to pay you back with a predetermined higher amount when the bill reaches maturity. U.S Treasury Bills are typically issued with maturity terms of one month, three months, six months and 1 year.

As we all know, savings accounts are offered by banks and credit unions and provide variable interest rates, which means their rates fluctuate in accordance with the Prime Rate. While there is no time requirement for a savings account, as there is with a CD, the law only allows consumers to make up to six transfers or withdrawals from a savings account per month (not including in-person ATM or branch withdrawals). Savings accounts offer the same as insurance protections as CDs.

Hope this helps you =)

Alina [70]

Answer:

<u>Sales Quotas</u>

Explanation:

Sales quotas specify the quantum of sales standards in terms of monetary value of sales that must be effected by salespersons and the segregation of sales among different products of a company.

Such quotas help in creating an incentive system i.e performance above standards which would be rewarded, and thus serve as a motivation for sales force.

Such a mechanism also helps in comparing and analyzing the sales trends of the past, the standards set and how effectively the standards have been met.

This helps in ascertaining and evaluating productivity of a sales team and defines efficient performance.

A <u>discouraged worke</u>r is an individual who has given up looking for employment even though they are perfectly eligible to take up a job but to the repeated failure in finding a job  they have then ceased their search for finding an employment.

Discouraged workers have stopped looking for employment opportunities because they feel that their is no job that suits their qualifications

Since they have stopped searching they are not included in the labor force hence when we see the statistics for unemployment these people are not included there also .So they are called <u>Discouraged Workers</u>
