Hello!
Here are some tips:
• Get a good night's sleep. Believe me, if I don't get at least 7 hours of sleep before a big test, my mind won't function properly and I'll forget everything I'd practised. So, please, get enough sleep.
• Eat something good before the test. It'll help you. When your belly is full, almost everything is okay! :D Seriously, eat enough so that you wouldn't get hungry during the test, and you'll have less to think about. Also, make sure the food doesn't contain too much sugar.
• Take breaks when you're studying. Do NOT cram all those facts in your head, because they won't stay there. Set up a schedule and designate a specific part of every day to studying, and it shouldn't be longer than half an hour.
• Here's a bonus tip I've learned from past experiences. Please don't use TVs, phones, and anything that will distract you. If you need a calculator, USE A CALCULATOR, and not an online one. Otherwise you won't be as productive and it'll definitely distract you.
The best time to start a business is when you have the time to devote your attention to it.

= 15.1%
= 15%
Answer:
I think Sears need to stop diversifying its product too much and focus on improving internal human resources.
Explanation:
The largest expense that Sears made occurred during their effort to add more female customers to shop at their place.
Sears was known for its DieHard, Craftsman and Kenmore brands that attract mostly male customers to their stores. They started “The Softer Side of Sears” which focused on adding more products for female customers.
But, in the process of doing so, Sears neglected their already successful male products department with a lot of employees who sacrifice a lot of their time and effort into making Sears as big as it is.
In order to restore to its former glory, Sears need to stop focusing on new market with a lot of strong competitors and focused on improving skill set of employees in their successful department. They can do this by investing in their education, increasing the budget for their research and development, etc.
Answer:
a. 5.00%
b. 4.50%
c. 4.00%
d. 3.50%
Explanation:
The after tax yield is determined by the formula given below;
Equivalent Taxable Yield = r * (1 - t)
a. when t = 0 then 5% * (1 - 0)
= 5.00%
When t=0, the after tax yield for taxable bond is same as before tax yield and is greater than municipal bond.
b. when t = 10% then 5% * (1 - 10%)
= 4.50%
c. when t = 20% then 5% * (1 - 20%)
= 4.00%
d. when t = 30% then 5% * (1 - 30%)
= 3.50%
