Before the foundation of the United States, the Kingdom of Britain owned the 13 colonies on the East shore of North America. Those colonies were separated into 3 regions: the New England, the Middle Colonies, the Southern Colonies. Economic activities and trade was dependent of the environment in each of those regions. Economy in the New England : ship building industry, fishing, trade. Economy in the Middle Colonies: farming, lot of jobs for skilled workers. Also merchants invested money in colonies. In the Southern Colonies: cotton and tobacco-industry. The economy impact the livelihood of the original 13 colonies by giving jobs and money to the colonists.
<span>The correct answer is that it depends on the specifics of the incentive plan. A general incentive plan that is not linked directly to productivity will typically become old news to staff within a few years. What was once an incentive will become familiar and may be viewed as an entitlement as staff start looking for the eternal "what's next?".
An incentive directly linked to some kind of productivity (e.g. hours worked) will have a far longer shelf life (though this will, of course, vary by employee). In this scenario the ongoing incentive remains year over year (e.g. the hours of overtime worked in the previous year will have no bearing on the current year so if you want a similar result you will need to maintain your effort whereas if you want a better result you will have to increase your effort).
All incentive plans, however, are subject to the rules of diminishing marginal utility to the employees and will diminish over time as the employee either becomes comfortable at a certain productivity level or becomes disenchanted by other factors.
In summation: an incentive plan, if designed properly, can work for a relatively long period of years though results may vary by employee as everyone is motivated by different things (though providing an alternative incentive to money may somewhat mitigate this additional potential problem).</span>
Answer:
Ai Lun estimate that real rate would be 1%
Explanation:
The Formula for the Real Rate of Return is
Real rate of return =Nominal interest rate - Inflation rate
In this case ,
Nominal interest rate =3%
Inflation rate is given by the rising of the consumer prices =2%
So,
Real rate of return =3% - 2%
Real rate of return=1%
