Write a Story for Kumquat​

Business
1 answer:
evablogger [386]2 years ago

When I was a kid, growing up on Friends Ave, I absolutely loved kumquats. We didn't have a tree, but there was a family a few streets down that did and I was brave enough to go and knock on their door and ask if we could pick some. They are quite tart and borderline sour, but wonderfully delicious. The skin is mild, which perfectly compliments the inside. I see them at the markets here, but I never buy them because they are a bit expensive and besides, it's much more thrilling when you can pick them yourself. Several months ago I started working for a wonderful family in Beverly Hills as a personal assistant one day a week. While I was up there yesterday, we went out walking in the backyard and there I saw the sweetest little kumquat tree. Now, I had heard about the kumquats before from one of the housekeepers who I once saw making some delightful kumquat-ginger jam. She even gave me a little spoonful to try, which was amazing. I was told I was more than welcome to pick some for myself. You mean it? I get to pick my very own?? So I did. Twenty-plus years later, I finally got to pick my very own kumquats again. It was such a thrill. I eat them whole and have been snacking on them for 2 days. They also had some loquat trees which I had never heard off before, but I picked one or two of those and I'm still undecdided on whether or not I like them. The texture reminds me a lot of an apricot, but with 2-3 medium sized seeds in the middle. I picked a few limes and two pumellos and love having all this fruit around.

What are Costco business perks?
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

There are several perks or troubles that Costco business faces.

Explanation:

The first of these perks is the intense competition from other large retailers like Walmart, Target, or Best Buy. While Costco does have a niche: it tends to sell higher quality poducts for a slightly higher price, the competition is nevertheless stiff because that niche does not apply for all product lines that are sold.

The second perk is also competition, from online retailers, especially Amazon, which is larger than any traditional retailer, but also from a myriad of smaller retailers that emerge constantly in the online market, since the internet provides very few barriers to entry for new competitors.

Finally, the third peak is consumer preferences, and that is because consumers are constantly changing their tastes and preferences, especially in developed countries like the U.S. This means that Costco has to constantly adapt to new product lines, and discard other lines.

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

a. $58,400

Explanation:

A discounted note, will make the person receive a lesser amount than the amount due at maturity. This way the person who grants the note is receiving interest for borrowing.

<em><u>Calculations</u></em>

principal x discount rate x time = discount

<em><u>Where</u></em> rate and time should be expressed in the same metric IE if the rate is annual express time in portion of years if it is monthly, in months.

60,000 x 0.08 x 120/360 = 1,600

Now, we subtract this amount form the nominal:

nominal - discount = net

60,000 - 1,600 = <u>58,400</u>
