In order to properly tackle this problem, we must understand the relationship between the nominal annual rate and real (effective) annual rate.
To do this:
-First you take the nominal rate, divide by the number of times it's compounded (converted) per year.
-Then, add one to that number, and raise that number to the power of how many times you compound per year.
Here is the method in practice:
First 3 Years:
Nominal rate= 2% ÷ 12 times/yr = 0.001667
Effective rate = 1.001667 ^12 = 1.020184
Next 2 Years (Discounting)
3% ÷ 2/yr = .015
1.015 ^ 2 = 1.061364
Next 4 years (Interest)
.042 ÷ .5 (once every 2 years) = .084
1.084 ^ (1/2) = 1.041153
The last 3 years are already expressed as an effective rate, so we don't need to convert them. The annual rate is:
1.058
I kept the 1 in the numbers (1.058 instead of 5.8% for example) so that it's easier to find the final number
Take every relevant number and raise it to the power of the number of years it's compounded for. For discounting, raise it to a negative power.
First 3 years: 1.020184 ^ 3 = 1.061784
Next 2 years: 1.030225 ^ -2 = .942184
Next 4 years: 1.041163 ^ 4 = 1.175056
Last 3 years: 1.058 ^ -3 = .84439
Multiply these numbers (include all decimals when you do this calculation)
1.062 * .942 * 1.175 * .844 = .992598
This is our final multiplier to find the effect on our principal:
.992598 * 2,480 = 2461.64
Answer is 2461.64

B. prospecting
Explanation:
<em>The method that sales people would use to find new customers would be </em><em>prospecting</em><em>.</em>
In sales, prospecting means the identification of potential customers for a particular good/service. It represents the first step in sales process.
<u>After the list of potential customers have been created, the next step would be to find a way of reaching out to these customers in order to create leads which can end up in sales and turns a prospective customer to a paying customer.</u>
Answer:
$5,000= ending inventory
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Gross margin is normally 40% of sales.
Sales= $25,000
beginning inventory= $2,500
purchases= $17,500
First, we need to determine the cost of goods sold:
COGS= 25,000*0.6= 15,000
Now, using the following formula, we can calculate the ending inventory:
COGS= beginning inventory + cost of goods purchased - ending inventory
15,000= 2,500 + 17,500 - ending inventory
5,000= ending inventory
Answer:
4. Horizontal consolidation
Explanation:
Horizontal consolidation is a process in which the companies which are producing the same or similar goods or providing the similar or same services merges together or one company gets acquired by the other company.
Sometimes Horizontal consolidation may lead to a risk of one company becoming a monopoly.
But Horizontal consolidation also sometimes benefits the customers by reducing the prices because of the large economic scale.
