inna [77]

Answer: 2.74 years

Explanation:

Payback Period is a method of capital budgeting that works by checking how long the project will take to repay the investment outlay.

The formula is;

Payback Period = Year before Payback Period occurs + \frac{Cash remaining}{Cashflow in year payback happens}

Initial Outlay = $4,650

First Year = $1,350

Second Year = $2,450

Third Year = $1,150

First year + second year = 1,350 + 2,450 = $3,800

Remaining till repayment = 4,650 - 3,800 = $850

Third year amount of $1,150 is higher than $850 so amount will be repaid in 3rd year.

Payback Period = Year before Payback Period occurs + \frac{Cash remaining}{Cashflow in year payback happens}

Payback Period = 2 + \frac{850}{1,150}

Payback Period = 2.74 years

How should a person cope with situational factor for which there are ethical confident skills?
ipn [44]

Self-confidence is considered one of the most influential motivators and regulators of behavior in people's everyday lives (Bandura, 1986). A growing body of evidence suggests that one's perception of ability or self-confidence is the central mediating construct of achievement strivings (e.g., Bandura, 1977; Ericsson et al., 1993; Harter, 1978; Kuhl, 1992; Nicholls, 1984). Ericsson and his colleagues have taken the position that the major influence in the acquisition of expert performance is the confidence and motivation to persist in deliberate practice for a minimum of 10 years.

Self-confidence is not a motivational perspective by itself. It is a judgment about capabilities for accomplishment of some goal, and, therefore, must be considered within a broader conceptualization of motivation that provides the goal context. Kanfer (1990a) provides an example of one cognitively based framework of motivation for such a discussion. She suggests that motivation is composed of two components: goal choice and self-regulation. Self-regulation, in turn, consists of three related sets of activities: self-monitoring, self-evaluation, and self-reactions. Self-monitoring provides information about current performance, which is then evaluated by comparing that performance with one's goal. The comparison between performance and goal results in two distinct types of self-reactions: self-satisfaction or -dissatisfaction and self-confidence expectations. Satisfaction or dissatisfaction is an affective response to past actions; self-confidence expectations are judgments about one's future capabilities to attain one's goal. This framework allows a discussion of self-confidence as it relates to a number of motivational processes, including setting goals and causal attributions.
