Answer:

you should accept the payments because they are worth $56,451.91 today

Explanation:

We have to determinate the present value of the proposed annuity of $641 per month over a ten year spawn

Then, the value of the annuity:

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

C 641.00

time 120 (12 months x 10 years)

rate 0.005416667

641 \times \frac{1-(1+0.00541666666666667)^{-120} }{0.00541666666666667} = PV\\

PV $56,451.9083

Shay is preparing to go into her meeting with her supervisor, Jill, to discuss her annual evaluation. She knows that there have been a few times this year where she could have performed better and she does not want to get angry in the meeting. Last night and on the ride in this morning, she rehearsed what she anticipated Jill would tell her and what her response would be. Shay was trying to  resist being defensive - True

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The word Resist refers to the act of  withstanding  the action or effect of something.

When we do something wrong or when we are in a situation to avoid criticism by others who may be our co workers we tend to defend our self.

When we are having confidence in  the things that we do then we will try top resist what others says by explaining them the actual thing. In the given scenario, Shay is preparing how to answer the questions that Jill shoots in the meeting because he has the confidence in the work she performed. Thus, Shay is trying to resist Jill than being defensive.

svetoff [14.1K]
This attitude reflects ageism.
It is a type of discrimination based on somebody's age - even though Susan is more experienced than her young daughter when it comes to this job, Beverly got the job because she is younger. So, Susan has been discriminated against because she is way older than Beverly.

Which of the following statements about the relationship between interest rates and bond prices is true? I) There is an inverse
BaLLatris [955]

Answer: A. I and IV only

Explanation:

The relationship between bond prices and interest is an inverse one. This is because bonds have fixed rates so when for instance interest rates increase, the fixed rate of bonds will become less attractive as people would want to make the higher interest. They will therefore demand less of bonds and the prices will drop. The reverse is true.

Also, long term bonds are more affected by interest rate changes then short term bonds. This is because, as they have a longer term till maturity, they will be even less attractive when interest rates rise.

Option d is incorrect because it has written 4% that we don't put in calculator as well as it has inserted positive pv which is also wrong.
