Answer:
A. a clear message and positive ethos
Explanation:
Clarity in communication refers to being effectiveness in conveying the intended message. Clarity in speech is a must for any speech as it aids in better comprehension of the message by the listener.
Ethos refers to the creation of authority and command in speech. It also refers to whether the speaker is able enough to speak on a subject or is he the right person to speak on such a matter.
Through ethos, the speaker establishes his command over the subject he has chosen to speak upon.
Positive ethos would mean displaying a positive body language while speaking and maintaining calm and open to questioning and providing the required response. It refers to building an amiable rapport with listeners.
To return something and get money back
Answer:
The payback period for this project is 2.43 years.
Explanation:
Elmer Sporting Goods is getting ready to produce a new line of golf clubs by investing $1.85 million.
The investment will result in additional cash flows of $525,000, $812,500, and 1,200,000 over the next three years.
The payback period is the time it takes to cover the investment to be covered by returns.
The investment cost remaining in the first year
= $1,850,000 - $525,000
= $1,325,000
The investment cost remaining in the second year
= $1,325,000 - $812,500
= $512,500
The third year payback
= 
= 0.427
The total payback period
= 2.43 years
Answer:
Future value (FV) = $57,908
Present value (PV) = $8,860
Number of years (n) = 18 years
Interest rate = ?
FV = PV(1 + r)n
$57,908 = $8,860(1 + r)18
$57,908 = $8,860(1 + r)18
<u>$57,908</u> = (1 + r)18
$8,860
6.535891648 = (1 + r)18
18√6.535891648 = 1 + r
1.10993 - 1 = r
r = 0.10992 = 10.99%
Explanation:
In this case, we will apply the future value of a lump sum (single investment) formula. The present value, future value and number of years are given with the exception of interest rate. Thus, interest rate is made the subject of the formula.
