Answer: the major railroad companies

Explanation: In 1883, the major railroad companies in USA divided the time zone into four parts to simplify the time differences among them as well as for internal operations.

This was initiated at the industrial era and is still followed by the rail road companies in USA. The grouping of zones was important because of the large size of USA.

Hence, we can conclude that Option A is correct.

Your Godmother left you an inheritance of ​$100,000​, payable to you when you turn 26 years old. You are now 21.​ Currently, the
KIM [24]

Answer:

The offer should be accepted

Explanation:

It is known that the amount $100,000 will be paid to someone when he turns 26 years. The current age is 21 years.

the 5-years bond is given 3.1 percent of interest rate.

another option for the person is offered $103,021.02 right away which is the present value.

The present value of the $100,000 that is going to be received after 5 years is calculated as follows;

Present value =  Amount to be received /(1+interest rate/100)^t

                        = 100,000/(1+ 3.1/100)⁵

                         = 100,000/ 1.031⁵

                         = $85,843.35

Therefore, the present value is $85,843.35 for the amount $100,000 to be receive after five years.

Since the amount  $103,012.02 he was offered is greater than the present value of his inheritance after 5-years, the person should accept the offer  and forget about the inheritance of $100,000.
