Explanation:

Teach for America is a Non-profit Organization founded in 1989 that aims to place teachers in schools that need it the most especially in low income areas.

The very rigorous performance appraisal program is done to ensure that the children being taught are benefitted in the most effective way.

Teach for America hopes to impart on the lives of the children, long lasting benefits that will take them very far in life. For thus reason they train recruits as much as possible to ensure that they are well armed to deal with any kind of situation that may arise while they are on duty. It is important to realize that a lot of TFA programs deal with kids from minority or lower income backgrounds and it is important to know how to relate with them and part of this training is for that. Children learn in numerous ways. The training therefore enables the recruits to know how to employ different educational methods to reach their to even the toughest of students and educate them.

You work for a pharmaceutical company that has developed a new drug. The patent on the drug will last 1717 years. You expect tha

Svetlanka [38]

Answer: The present value of the new drug is $19.33 million

We follow these steps to arrive at the answer:

Expected Revenues from the drug in year 1(P) $2 million

Growth Rate (g) 2% p.a.

No. of years (n) 17 years

Discount rate (r) 9% p.a.

Since the revenues are expected to grow at a constant rate of 2% p.a, we can treat this series of cash flows as a <u>growing annuity. </u>

We calculate the Present Value of a growing annuity with the following formula:

$PV = \frac{P}{r-g}*\left [ 1- \left (\frac{1+g}{1+r}\right)^{n}\right]$

Substituting the values we get,

$PV = \frac{2}{0.09-0.02}*\left [ 1- \left (\frac{1+0.02}{1+0.09}\right)^{17}\right]$

$PV = \frac{2}{0.07}*\left [1- 0.323558233\right]$

$PV = 28.57142857 * 0.676441767$

$PV = 19.32690763$

shutvik [7]

Answer:

b. One advantage to forming a corporation is that the owners of the firm have limited liability.

Explanation:

Every equity shareholder has this advantage that he cannot be called off, in case of any liability in the company, as the company stands liable and not the shareholder, whereas in partnership or proprietorship even all the partners can be called off to meet the liability personally, in case of any failure from the firm.

Though firms have tax advantage, but this is the disadvantage to the firm that the liabilities are unlimited.
