Answer:

g. Three additional stores owned by Kristin’s company are managed by recent Wharton graduates, and all three managers have increased sales by 18 percent for each of the past three years.

Explanation:

Firstly, the former manager who retired increased sales by 15 percent every year for the past five years. Secondly, based on the performance of recent Wharton graduates, who were managers at three additional stores owned by Kristin's company and were able to perform better than this former manager who just retired by increasing sales by 18 for the past three years in their respective stores. Kristin can therefore conclude to higher Roger Benson to repeat the same stellar performance.

Vikentia [17]

Answer: Balloon Loan

A balloon loan is a type of loan where the final payment is usually much larger than the payment preceding it.  

In a balloon loan, the entire loan amount is given to the borrower as soon as the loan is approved and the contract is signed.

The interest falls due and is paid during the life of the loan.  

The principal however, is paid as a balloon payment on the final day of the life of the loan.
