The critical path is a sequence of activities that determine the earliest date by which a project can be completed.
Answer:
The answer is 9.00%
Explanation:
real risk-free rate = 3.00%
average expected future inflation rate = 5.90%
Maturity risk premium = 0.10%
The expected rate of return on a 1 year treasury security would be = the average expected future inflation rate + maturity risk premium + real risk-free rate.
= 3.00% + 5.90% + 0.10%
= 9.00%
Answer:
Empathy
Explanation:
Empathy is the ability of a person of business entity to understand the thoughts, feelings, and emotions of their customers. It is the ability to personalise the customer's situation.
This makes the business go the extra mile in solving the customer's problem.
In this scenario Northwestern mutual felt the pain and understood the financial needs of the families of first responders during the 9-11 attack.
So without official death certificates they paid death benefits only 3 days after the attacks.
Other insurance companies however did not empathise with their customers and only paid death benefits some months to a year.
The perpetual equivalent annual cost is - $35013
<h3 /><h3>The perpetual annual cost calculation</h3>
interest i = 10%
Period = n = 7 years
Formula
A/F = i/(1+i)^n-1
= 0.1/(1+0.1)^7-1
= 0.1054
The perpetual annual cost
= -250000*0.1-95000(0.1054)
= -25000-10013
= - 35013
Therefore the perpetual equivalent annual cost is $35013
Answer:
Present value (PV) = $1,000
Interest rate (r) =8% = 0.08
Number of years (n) = 18 months = 1.5 years
No of compounding periods in a year = 4
Future value (FV) = ?
FV = PV(1 + r/m)nm
FV = $1,000(1 + 0.08/4)1.5x4
FV = $1,000(1 + 0.02)6
FV = $1,000 x 1.1262
FV = $1,126
Explanation:
The amount to be received in 18 months is $1,126. This is obtained by compounding the present value at 8% compounded quarterly for 18 months. The formula to be applied is the formula for future value of a lump sum(single investment).
