Before the Meeting:

Clarify the purpose - why are you meeting in the first place
Create an agenda- who will talk about what?
Make arrangements- set a time, book the meeting space, decide the setup, etc

During the meeting:

Take detailed notes or designate someone to be the note-taker
Stick to the agenda
Make sure you accomplish the purpose that you decided on in the prep stage

After the meeting:

Follow up - if you promised to do something in the meeting that would accomplish the objectives, make sure you follow through

Answer:

the annual rate of return is 15.24%

Explanation:

The computation of the annual rate of return is shown below:

Given that

NPER = 5

PV = -$15,000

PMT = $4,500

FV = $0

The formula is shown below:

= RATE(NPER,PMT,-PV,FV,TYPE)

AFter applying the above formula, the annual rate of return is 15.24%

You have just received a windfall from an investment you made in a friend's business. He will be paying you at the end of this

ohaa [14]

Answer:

a. $80,318.70

b. $97,568.57

Explanation:

Here is the full question :

You have just received a windfall from an investment you made in a friend's business. She will be paying you $ 15 comma 555 at the end of this year, $ 31 comma 110 at the end of next year, and $ 46 comma 665 at the end of the year after that (three years from today). The interest rate is 6.7 % per year. a. What is the present value of your windfall? b. What is the future value of your windfall in three years (on the date of the last payment)?

Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows

Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator

Cash flow in year 1 = $ 15,555

Cash flow in year 2 = $31,110

Cash flow in year 3 = $ 46,665

I = 6.7%

Present value = $80,318.70

The formula for calculating future value:

FV = P (1 + r)^n

FV = Future value

P = Present value

R = interest rate

N = number of years

$80,318.70(1.067)^3 = $97,568.57

You buy a lottery ticket to a lottery that costs $10 per ticket. There are only 100 tickets available to be sold in this lottery

Eduardwww [97]

Answer: The expected loss is $2.3

Explanation:

Total number of tickets to be sold = 100 tickets

one $450 prize, the expected gain = 450 x (1/100) = $4.5

two $110 prizes, the expected gain = 110 x (2/100) = $2.2

four $25 prizes. the expected gain = 25 x (4/100) = $1

Expected gain (loss) = Total expected gain - Cost of the ticket

= (4.5 + 2.2 + 1 ) - 10

= (2.3)

The expected loss is $2.3

Suppose Germany, a large country, imposes a tariff on tuna imports. Before the tariff, all the countries in the world are engage

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

1. This is true.

The Germans will pay a higher price for tuna because the tariff will increase the price of imported tuna and the reduction in completion with the local producers will lead to higher prices as the local producers take up their price.

2. This is true.

German producers no longer have to compete as much with imported tuna which was cheaper. They will therefore be able to raise their prices.

3. This statement is false.

The world price of Tuna DOES NOT increase because the tariff is only applicable in Germany. Other parts of the world will trade tuna as before. This is what is assumed.

4. This statement is true.

If Vietnam was exporting tuna to Germany, they will become worse off because they will see a decline in demand for their tuna on account of the tariffs making the tuna more expensive.

5. This is false.

Vietnamese tuna consumers will still pay the same price to get tuna because Vietnam produces the tuna. It is Vietnam's producers that will suffer not the consumers.

How have embedded computers and the IoT impacted your daily life? What additional uses can you see yourself using? What security

Zigmanuir [339]

NOTE: Before discussing the impacts of embedded computers and the IoT, first, let me briefly explain what both of them are in simple words (without any complex jargon) for a better understanding.

Embedded computers are the programmable controllers (or loosely speaking, chips) designed to perform specific or dedicated tasks within a device. They take input (from sensors etc.), process it in a predefined steps (or instructions) and give an output.

The IoT, on the other hand, is the Internet of Things. It is the system of interconnected things that can communicate with one another directly over the network (internet). The word Things in the IoT incorporates an array of objects ranging from devices like digital and security cameras, wearable watches, GPS navigation systems, washing machines, refrigerators to buildings and even cities.

All in all, embedded computers enable the things with the automation capabilities, while the IoT empowers those things with the communication abilities.

(1) Impacts of Embedded Computers and the IoT

In the current era, almost all devices around us have embedded computer(s). Not only that, many of those devices have an ability to connect to the Internet through WiFi. The impacts of embedded computers and the IoT together can easily be understood by the some of the examples, as follows:

Nowadays, we have smart washing machines that not only be able to rinse, wash and dry clothes automatically, economically and efficiently—thanks to the embedded computers—but they can also be controlled remotely or can also send a notification to a mobile phone by the virtue of the IoT. It saves our energy (by automatically washing the clothes), our money (by efficiently using the detergent), resources (by rinsing and washing the clothes with the amount of water required—water conservation) and our time (by being controlled remotely or by sending a notification on a mobile phone when it’s done instead of us checking up its progress every ten minutes or so). In the past, however, laundry used to be done manually, which was not only a time consuming and tiring task, but it was also an ineffective way for the resource conservation.
Finding a nearby cab is now in the palm of our hands. Modern cab service providers, via their mobile applications, share the location of their cabs, in which the GPS navigation system (consists of GPS module and the embedded computer(s), connected with the internet). Hence, without any hassle, a nearby cab can be arranged and also at any time. The same applies on the most, modern bus services. Before that, one had to be physically on the road to find the cab with no surety of getting one. Now, beforehand, you can book your ride.
Smart door locking systems and smart security cameras inside or outside homes are able to notify the authorities or to the owners in the case of intrusion, and, thus, making lives and possessions safe and secure. Previously, although security cameras and locking systems were there, they couldn’t communicate with other devices (like mobile phones) remotely. A person had to be physically in the house to see the camera feed or to hear the intrusion alarm.
Embedded computers and the IoT is revolutionising the quality of life in terms of health. The IoT based smart-bands or watches can continuously monitor the blood pressure and heart rate in real time through the IoT based devices with embedded computers connected with the sensors. In the case of emergency, those IoT based devices send a notification to the emergency contacts. In the past, there was no way of checking your ECG at home—let alone the question of automatically sending ECG report to the emergency contacts.

In a nutshell, embedded computers and the IoT have impacted our daily lives in a meaningful and constructive way.

(2) Additional Uses

Well, this part of the question cannot be answered in a generic way; therefore, let me give you my opinion on that.

I am seeing myself using the IoT based learning devices like Google Nest thermostat. It uses machine learning to automatically set the optimal temperature of the home.

Ease: To change the temperature, there is no need to be physically there where the thermostat is installed.

Saving: It automatically turns off when there is no person in the home, which is a big plus for saving some extra bucks.

Furthermore, I can see myself using the smart IoT based weight machine that would warn me to stop getting out of shape based on my weight; in the case of non-compliance, it would send my weight as a post to all of my social media accounts. ;)

(3) Security or Other Risks

The privacy would be the major concern (and could be compromised with the usage of IoT). As in the IoT based systems, everything is connected to the internet. Therefore, all the cybersecurity risks and issues are applied on the IoT as well.

The more IoT based devices increase in number, the more the complexity of handling those devices would increase, which may become a bane instead of a boon to a user.
