That statement is true

Overburdening occurs when we try to give the emergency workers too much workload that they actually can carry.

This can be prevented by not deploying them spontaneously. We need to give them an extensive briefing regarding each of their own role and separate them into several groups so they had time to rest while the other groups replace them temporarily.

Huai takes out a $3,600 student loan at 6.6% to help him with 2 years of community college. After finishing the 2 years, he tran

Alja [10]

Answer:

a. The monthly payment on loan 1 is $76.03.

b. The monthly payment on loan 2 is $411.69.

Explanation:

a. Calculate the monthly payment on loan 1.

To determine the amount of periodic payments, the present value of annuity formula should be used:

$PV=P(\frac{1-(1+r)^{-n} }{r} )$

Where:

PV= present value

p=periodic payment

i=rate of interest

n=number of periods

We get the data for this exercise:

PV= 3,600 (loan).

p= unknown (we must find this value)

i= 6.6% or 0.066. However, because we need to know the monthly payment, the interest rate should be divided by 12 (0.066 / 12).

n= 4 years and 7 months, that is 55 months.

And we replace in the formula:

$3600=P(\frac{1-(1+\frac{0.066}{12})^{-55} }{\frac{0.066}{12} } )$

$3600=P(\frac{1-(1+0.055)^{-55} }{0.0055} )$

$3600=P(\frac{1-(0.7395812268)}{0.0055} )$

$3600=P(\frac{0.2604187732}{0.0055} )$

$3600=P(47.348867)$

Therefore:

$P=\frac{3600}{47.348867}$

$P=76.03$

The monthly payment on loan 1 is $76.03.

b. Calculate the monthly payment on loan 2.

We get the data for this exercise:

PV= 11,600 (loan 2).

p= unknown (we must find this value)

i= 7.3% or 0.073. However, because we need to know the monthly payment, the interest rate should be divided by 12 (0.073 / 12).

n= 2 years and 7 months, that is 31 months.

And we replace in the formula:

$11600=P(\frac{1-(1+\frac{0.073}{12})^{-31} }{\frac{0.073}{12} } )$

$11600=P(\frac{1-(1+0.006083)^{-31} }{0.006083} )$

$11600=P(\frac{1-(0.8286047296)}{0.006083} )$

$11600=P(\frac{0.1713952704}{0.006083} )$

$11600=P(28.1761088936)$

Therefore:

$P=\frac{11600}{28.1761088936}$

$P=411.69$

The monthly payment on loan 2 is $411.69.

what is the difference between procedures and rules? can some rules be eliminated when solid procedures are in place? discuss.

iragen [17]

Rules are made so that people behave in a particular manner whereas, procedures are meant to guide about how to do something.

Procedures are the standard steps used to carry out tasks in an organization. They were created for repetitive tasks. They offer instructions regarding how to carry out a task. In speaking, procedures are inflexible and provide no room for inventiveness. It eliminates ambiguity from the work and provides it a clear structure.

Rules are specific instructions that define what must be done and what shouldn't be done. They were created in order to preserve, govern, and manage the workplace. They were inflexible and lack adaptability. Strict disciplinary measures are applied when rules are broken. It reflects decisions about what needs to be done and what cannot be done.

No, rules cannot be eliminated when solid procedures are in place because they determine the behavior or manner in which things should be done.

MaRussiya [10]

Explanation:

There are two alternatives

1. Sold for $6,300

The inventory parts should be sold for $6,300 as the current inventory parts are not relevant as it is a sunk cost i.e $18,500

2. Repair and after that sale it

Now in this case, we have to determine the benefit generated i.e come from

= Sale value - repairing cost

= $19,700 - $9,100

= $10,600

As we can see that the alternative 2 generated higher benefit as compare to the alternative 1 so it would be more beneficial for the company

Your uncle is about to retire, and he wants to buy an annuity that will provide him with $75,000 of income a year for 20 years,

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

The annuity will cost him $963,212.95.-

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Cash flow= $75,000

Interest rate= 0.0525

n= 20

First, we need to calculate the final value. We will use the following formula:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i + {[A*(1+i)^n]-A}

A= annual cash flow

FV= {75,000*[(1.0525^20) - 1]/0.0525} + {[75,000*(1.0525^20)] - 75,000}

FV= 2,546,491.88 + 133,690.82= $2,680,182.70

Now, the present value:

PV= FV/(1+i)^n

PV= 2,680,182.70/(1.0525^20)

PV= $963,212.95
