Answer: $250,096

Explanation:

To find out the amount that should be invested today, one should find the present values of both figures and add them up:

Interest rate should be periodically adjusted so: 8% / 2 = 4% per semi annum

No of periods should be adjusted as well.

Amount to be invested today:

= \frac{190,000}{(1 + 0.04)^{2 * 2 periods} } + \frac{120,000}{(1 + 0.04)^{4 * 2 periods} }\\\\=  \frac{190,000}{(1 + 0.04)^{4} } + \frac{120,000}{(1 + 0.04)^{8} }\\\\= 250,095.62

= $250,096

how a teacher can use motivational strategies to control problem behavior in classroom give an example

<h3><u>Answer</u></h3>

The Earth’s mantle is made up of Tectonic plates that are forever moving as the Earth cools down. This happens over billions of years, and one of the most notable ones is around the Pacific rim where Earthquakes, (seismic activity) happens quite often

The Rift Valley in Ethiopia lies along the edge of the African Tectonic Plate, and continues down through parts of Somalia and into Kenya.

Just recently a rift opened up in Kenya, which seismologists seem to think is the pre-cursor of a major tectonic plate movement, splitting apart a part of Africa, which could include Ethiopia

Here are some strategies that can be used in the classroom to help motivate students:

  • Promote growth mindset over fixed mindset.
  • Develop meaningful and respectful relationships with your students.
  • Grow a community of learners in your classroom.
  • Establish high expectations and establish clear goals.
  • Be inspirational.

QUICKEST AND BEST ANSWER GETS A FOLLOW AND BRAINLIEST

Back in 2015, McDonald’s was struggling. In Europe, sales were down 1.4% across the previous 6 years; 3.3% down in the US and almost 10% down across Africa and the Middle East. There were a myriad of challenges to overcome. Rising expectations of customer experience, new standards of convenience, weak in-store technology, a sprawling menu, a PR-bruised brand and questionable ingredients to name but a few.

McDonald’s are the original fast-food innovators; creating a level of standardisation that is quite frankly, remarkable. Buy a Big Mac in Beijing and it’ll taste the same as in Stratford-Upon Avon.

So when you’ve optimised product delivery, supply chain and flavour experience to such an incredible degree — how do you increase bottom line growth? It’s not going to come from making the Big Mac cheaper to produce — you’ve already turned those stones over (multiple times).

The answer of course, is to drive purchase frequency and increase margins through new products.
Numerous studies have shown that no matter what options are available, people tend to stick with the default options and choices they’ve made habitually. This is even more true when someone faces a broad selection of choices. We try to mitigate the risk of buyers remorse by sticking with the choices we know are ‘safe’.

McDonald’s has a uniquely pervasive presence in modern life with many of us having developed a pattern of ordering behaviour over the course of our lives (from Happy Meals to hangover cures). This creates a unique, and less cited, challenge for McDonald’s’ reinvention: how do you break people out of the default buying behaviours they’ve developed over decades?


In its simplest sense, the new format is designed to improve customer experience, which will in turn drive frequency and a shift in buying behaviour (for some) towards higher margin items. The most important shift in buying patterns is to drive reappraisal of the Signature range to make sure they maximise potential spend from those customers who can afford, and want, a more premium experience.

Assume that a consumer purchases a combination of products Y and Z and that the MUy/Py = 30/2 and MUz/Pz = 45/3. To maximize uti
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

Make no change in Y and Z.

Explanation:

It was assumed that consumer purchases the combination of two goods, Y and Z.

\frac{MU_{Y} }{P_{Y}}= \frac{30}{2} = 15

\frac{MU_{Z}}{P_{Z}}=\frac{45}{3}=15

For maximizing the utility of the consumer, the ratio of marginal utilities must be equal to the price ratio of the products.

We can see that the ratio of marginal utilities is equal to the price ratio of the products. Hence, the consumer should not make any changes to the combination of products.
