Answer: C. Buy pounds forward.

Explanation:

The investor borrowed in pounds which means that they would have to pay back in pounds. They would therefore need pounds at the end of the investment period but need to be sure of the rate they are converting back to so as to reduce currency risk.

The way to cater for this risk would be to buy pounds in the forward market at a guaranteed rate so that when they are to pay back the pounds, they buy it at the rate they agreed to in the forward market, regardless of what the rate is in the spot market when they want to pay back the pounds.

Two managers in the research and development department of a company disagree on whether their organization should outsource dev
Allushta [10]

Answer:

Intragroup.

Explanation:

A manager can be defined as an individual who is saddled with the responsibility of providing guidance, support, supervision, administrative control, as well as acting as a role model or example to the employees working in an organization by being morally upright.

Generally, managers are typically involved in taking up leadership roles and as such are expected to be build a strong relationship between their employees or subordinates by creating a fair ground for effective communication and sharing of resources and information. Also, they are required to engage their staff members (entire workforce) in the most efficient and effective manner.

A functional (departmental) organizational structure is a type of structure used to organize staffs by dividing them into various departments based on their skill set, roles or functions and knowledge.

These departments which are vertically structured may include, finance, IT, sales and marketing, research and development, customer service etc. Also, the various departments are headed by a functional manager who are saddled with the responsibility of overseeing, managing and reporting to the executive management.

In this scenario, two managers in the same department of a company disagree on whether to outsource the development of a new product or staff it internally. Thus, this is an example of intragroup conflict because its happening within the same department of an organization having common goals and interests.

An intragroup conflict can be defined as a type of conflict that arises between individuals belonging to the same team or group.

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

The question is missing the below options:

$1,333.33

$1,401.49

$1,108.91

$1,282.16

$1,487.06

Monthly payment is $1,401.49  as shown below

Explanation:

In calculating the amount of each monthly payment, PMT formula in excel comes very handy.The formula is stated below:

PMT(rate,nper,pv,-fv)

The rate is the percentage of interest payable on the loan considering that repayment is made monthly, hence the rate in this case 9.2% divided by number of repayments in a year,12

rate=9.2%/12=0.007666667

nper is the number of times repayment would be made, which is calculated as five years multiplied by the number of repayments in a year i.e 5*12=60

pv is the actual amount borrowed , 80%*$84000=$67200

The fv future value is nil

PMT(0.007666667 ,60,67200,0)

PMT=$1,401.49
