Answer: The correct answer is "A. research and development".
Research and development are <u>NOT</u> considered as one of the three primary functions that all organizations perform.
Explanation: The basic operating cycle of a company is buy-sell-collect-pay. In some cases, companies can produce the good they sell or directly re-sell it. This implies production, operation and marketing activities to increase sales and for an adequate control of these you need accounting.
Only in particular cases do companies engage in research and development, but it is not something basic.
Pn = P0(1+r)∧n
Pnis future value of P0
P0 is original amount invested
r is the rate of interest
n is the number of compounding periods (years, months, etc.)
P(n) = 2250(1+(.03/4)∧8
** since the interest is compounding quarterly, you need to divide the rate by 4, the number of quarters in a year.
Then you would do the math.
