Less: Purchase value of a new truck - $89,000
Add: Sale of land $198,000
Add: Sale of long term investments $60,800
Net Cash flow from Investing activities $221,100
Answer:
Present value of the offer = $739,018.03
Explanation:
The cash flows described in the question from end of year 1 to end of year 20 represent a growing annuity for 20 years. The present value of a growing annuity is calculated as follows:
PV= ![\frac{P}{i-g}*[1-[\frac{1+g}{1+i}]^n]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7BP%7D%7Bi-g%7D%2A%5B1-%5B%5Cfrac%7B1%2Bg%7D%7B1%2Bi%7D%5D%5En%5D)
where P = the annuity payment in the first period
i = interest rate per period that would be compounded for each period
g = growth rate
n = number of payment periods
P in the 1st year = the base salary of $59,000 + the 10% bonus of $5,900 = $64,900; g is 3.9% ;i=0.1 and n = 20
Present value of the offer = 15,000 received immediately + PV of the growing annuity
= ![15,000+\frac{64,900}{0.1-0.039}*[1-[\frac{1+0.039}{1+0.1}]^2^0]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=15%2C000%2B%5Cfrac%7B64%2C900%7D%7B0.1-0.039%7D%2A%5B1-%5B%5Cfrac%7B1%2B0.039%7D%7B1%2B0.1%7D%5D%5E2%5E0%5D)

Answer:
The answer is: Technical skills
Explanation:
Managers need to posses of develop all sorts of skills, although depending on their Business Unit, they might need some more than others. Managerial skills are usually divided into 3 categories:
- Technical Skills
: skills that provide the ability and knowledge to use a variety of techniques to achieve their objectives (i.e. operating machines and software, tools, equipment, product design, marketing, sales strategies, etc.).
- Conceptual Skills
: skills that provide the ability and knowledge for abstract thinking and formulating ideas (i.e. diagnose problems, elaborate creative solutions, etc.)
- Human or Interpersonal Skills
: interpersonal skills related to the manager´s ability to interact, work or relate effectively with people.
In Donna´s case, she will probably need to use mostly technical skills since her job is very specific and technical (telecommunications, computer systems, electrical engineering, satellite communications, etc). She will also need to have or develop conceptual or interpersonal skills, but not as much as a marketing or HR manager.
