Answer:

see below

Explanation:

Public relations are the activities that an organization engages in to promote its image in the eyes of the public. It involves deliberate actions that create good relationships between the public and the organization. Public relations is all about creating a good reputation for the company.

Public relations is done through unpaid media messages. For example, an organization may participate in a local charity event and make a noticeable contribution. If the event is covered in the media, the story will be highlighted. The organization gains a good reputation through the media without directly paying for it.

Areas of poorly maintained housing in cities are known as A. apartments. B. high rises. C. slums. D. projects.

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

<span>Areas of poorly maintained housing in cities are known as C. slums.
The term slum refers to the worst parts of a city where people are very poor and live in bad conditions. Apartments can be good or bad, so that option is incorrect; high rises are just tall buildings; projects refer to public housing where the building is owned by the government, so that is also incorrect.

Answer:

Ans. The equilibrium rate of return on a 1-year Treasury bond is 6.65% (please check the explanation)

Explanation:

Hi, well, this type of bonds exist so people can avoid the time value of money risk, in other words, to keep money save from inflation and provide a risk free return at the same time. From a part of the text I can tell that the person who wrote it wanted to add up the risk free rate and the inflation rate, that is 3.05%+3.60% =6.65%.

This is why I wrote this answer, but the truth is that since they are both effective rates (risk free rate and inflation), they need to be add as effective rates, that is:

$(1+r(e))=(1+rf)*(1+Inf)$

Therefore

$r(e)=(1+rf)*(1+Inf)-1$

$r(e)=(1+0.0305)*(1+0.036)-1=0.0676$

So the real equilibrium rate of return is 6.76%, but for the sake of the question, I wrote 6.65%.

Best of luck.

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer: 2 years

Explanation:

The payback period is the amount of time that is needed for the required cash inflow of a project to offset the initial cash outflow that the business offsets. The payback period is when the initial outlay of an investment is recovered. There are two different methods used to calculate payback period. We have the average method and the subtraction method.

In the above question, the payback period is solved as follows:

Labour cost decreases by 10% for each unit.

Therefore,

= $10 × 10%

= $10 × 0.1

= $1 per unit.

In order to recover $2000, the business needs to sell the following;

= 2000/1

= 2000units.

If Eric sells 1000 units per year of Emu, it will take:

2000/1000= 2years

In conclusion, the payback period of the investment is 2 years.
