Answer:

I would use survey research to determine the general opinion, positive or negative, on the feature from the general public.

Explanation:

When conducting any survey research, it is important to sample a wide variety of people. In this case, you would want to survey the general population, not just former Mercedes customers.

I would design a focus group survey with a series of questions where participants can choose from a range, 0-5, on how much they agree with a certain statement.

At the beginning of the survey, participants would read a brief paragraph explaining the features on the new car before continuing to the part where they record their responses.

Once the survey is conducted, the data can be analyzed. If the majority, say 70%, of all people surveyed agree strongly that a self driving car is a good idea and that the world is ready then you can assume that the general population is in fact ready.

An individual who works at a bookstore routinely takes home ballpoint pens and post-it notes, uses the copy machine to make pers

Papessa [141]

This attitude is called cash register honesty.

The book store worker knows very well that ball point pens, post-its, copies on the copier machine and long-distance phone calls are office resources and should, in principle, be used only for office purposes.

He is also aware that the he is responsible for his own needs - be it post-its or long-distance phone calls.

By taking some small supplies home or using the office equipment for personal use (e.g. making personal copies or making personal long-distance phone calls), he increases the cost to the company.

Yet, he continues to indulge in the activities described in the question, because he believes, at a personal level, that he can get away with it . (It's okay with him at a personal level.)

However, since stealing from the cash register is not ok with him on a personal level, he doesn't do it even though he knows he can get away with it. This attitude is called cash register honesty.

You are a financial advisor helping a young family create a college fund to provide for their daughter Mary’s education. Mary ju

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

a. Tuition and housing costs today = $65,000 per year

Inflation rate = 4%

Tuition and housing costs in 13 years = 65,000 * (1 + 0.04)^13

Tuition and housing costs in 13 years = $108,229.78

b. Amount to be in the savings account can be calculated using the present value of a growing annuity due formula

After tax rate of return = 10 * (1 - 0.3) = 7%, Growth rate = 4%, Number of year = 4

PV = P x (1 + r) * [1 - (1 + g)^n * (1 + r)^-n] / (r - g)

PV = 108,229.78 * (1 + 0.07) * [1 - (1 + 0.04)^4 * (1 + 0.07)^-4] / (0.07 - 0.04)

PV = $415,050.16

c. Amount of the first payment can be calculated using FV of a growing annuity

FV = $415,050.16, Number of years = 13, Growth rate = 2%, Rate of return = 10%

FV = P * [(1 + r)^n - (1 + g)^n] / (r - g)

415,050.16 = P * [(1 + 0.07)^13 - (1 + 0.02)^13] / (0.07 - 0.02)

P = $18,591.47

d. If the investments are tax free, the rate of return = 10%

Amount to be in the savings account = PV = P * (1 + r) * [1 - (1 + g)^n * (1 + r)^-n] / (r - g)

= 108,229.78 * (1 + 0.1) * [1 - (1 + 0.04)^4 * (1 + 0.1)^-4] / (0.1 - 0.04)

= $398,768.92

FV = P * [(1 + r)^n - (1 + g)^n] / (r - g)

398,768.92 = P * [(1 + 0.1)^13 - (1 + 0.02)^13] / (0.1 - 0.02)

P = $14,778.36
