The applicable formula is;
A = P(1-r)^n
Where;
A = Final purchasing power
P = Current purchasing power
r = inflation
n = Number of years when P changes to A
Confirming the first claim:
A = 1/2P (to be confirmed)
P = $3
r = 7% = 0.07
n = 10.25 years
Using the formula;
A = 3(1-0.07)^10.25 = 3(0.475) ≈ 3(0.5) = $1.5
And therefore, A = 1/2P after 10.25 years.
Now, give;
P = $9
A = 1/4P = $9/4 = $2.25
r = 6.5% = 0.065
n = ? (nearest year).
Substituting;
2.25 = 9(1-0.065)^n
2.25/9 = (1-0.065)^n
0.25 = (1-0.065)^n
ln (0.25)= n ln(1-0.065)
-1.3863 = -0.0672n
n = (-1.3863)/(-0.0672) = 20.63 years
To nearest year;
n = 21 years
Therefore, it would take approximately 21 years fro purchasing power to reduce by 4. That is, from $9 to $2.25.
        
             
        
        
        
In the context of the promotional mix, personal selling attempts to persuade the buyer to accept a point of view. Personal selling is when a sales rep meets with a potential client to close the sale. Personal selling describes in person sales events that help promote the potential client while informing them of the product. 
 
        
             
        
        
        
Hey there!
Employers should do random safety checks every so often, maybe every single week. They should do this to ensure that all employees are wearing the right safety equipment along side doing the right procedure.
Hope  I was able to help!
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
Explanation:
1)Moore's Law was created by Gordon Moore, the co-founder of Intel Corporation. Moore's Law states that the speed of a computer doubles every 18 months. Because of Moore's Law, the ratio of price to computer performance has fallen and the cost of storage, data processing, and communication have dropped to nearly zero and any routine skill can be outsourced to the lowest bidder.
2)The text defined job security as a "marketable skill and the courage to use it". To attain job security, business professionals should develop their non-routine cognitive skills such as collaboration, the ability to experiment, systems thinking, and abstract reasoning. This course in introductory MIS requires students to learn these four keys skills because every topic will require us to apply and practice these skills.
3)1. Course gives students necessary background to assess, evaluate, and apply emerging information technology to business
2. Course leads the path to job security by educating students in marketable skills
3. Numerous MIS jobs are available
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
1. Accounts receivable due = Accounts receivable + Allowances 
2008 
= 760,100 + 26,259
= $786,359
2009
= 840,810 + 23,936
= $864,746
2. Amount of receivable written off = Beginning balance for Allowance for doubtful accounts + Bad debt - Closing balance for allowance for doubtful accounts
= 9,200 + 3,400 - 9,148
= $3,452
3. Gross sales = Net Sales + Sales returns
Sales Returns = Closing balance for reserve for product returns + goods returned - Opening balance for reserve for product returns
= 14,788 + 3,440 - 17,059
= $1,169
Gross sales in 2009 = 6,244,800 + 1,169
= $6,245,969
4. Cash collected = Credit Sales - Goods returned - Bad debts written off - Ending receivables balance + Beginning receivables balance 
= 6,245,969 - 3,440 - 3,452 - 864,746 + 786,359
= $6,160,690
