satela [25.4K]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The Agile Manifesto principle that I am going to pick in the principle of "Embracing Change."

I think this is likely to have the biggest impact on the success or failure of a typical project in my organization because change is the constant in modern-day business. Probably, since the inception of the modern-day industry.

In order to be successful and maintain that success over the years -no matter the conditions- a company has to be ready not only to adapt to change but to change ahead of necessity. And this is one of the most difficult things to do in business because people love to be in a comfort zone for years. People in corporate America likes to know they are safe in their traditional places doing traditional things. For them, change is tough.

That is why I think "Embrace change" would be the principle that would help me the most.

1. Suppose two types of firms wish to borrow in the bond market. Firms of type A are in good financial health and are relatively
Olin [163]

Answer:

Type A is 7%, type b is 11%

Explanation:

We have these two firm's as type a and type b

For type A

Interest would be = risk Free rate of 2% + risk free rate of 5% = 7%

For type B

= Risk free rate of 5% + risk free rate of 6% = 11%

I would use the average of this two 9% as interest but this is not going to work for type A because this interest rate is too high. People won't want to pay this much.

Net expenses equal to total revenue minus depreciation minus interest paid

=$78.1, - $10.1 - $12.7

Adjusted taxable income= Total revenue - net expenses

= $85 - $54.9

=$30.1

Dmitry [639]
The point estimate or p hat is a single value that shows the best estimation of a certain parameter among a population.

To calculate point estimate, we divide the parameter by the whole population.

In case of this problem:
p hat = 51/84 = 0.607

To get the percent, we multiply the output by 100:
% of point estimate = 0.607 x 100 = 60.7%

When a company expands by entering new business areas, it is called growth through __________?
garri49 [273]
When a company expands by entering a new business area, it is called growth through diversification. 

Diversity is the means of being different, new, exciting.. something not like another. When a business enters something new, it's called diversification because it's not like what they've done before. With this comes risk but huge growth potential.
