Answer:

a. benchmarking

Explanation:

Benchmarking is a management strategy that a  business uses to measure productivity, or set goals based on the industry's best practices. An organization applies the benchmarking approach to evaluate its quality, processes and procedures, and performance against that of other firms. An organization uses the benchmarking report to improve its operating and product standards.  

Benchmarking can be internal or external. Internal benchmarking involves comparisons between teams, departments, or individuals within an organization. External benchmarking is where a firm gauge its critical operations against those of its competitors or other similar companies.

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

a. 2 years

b. 1 year

c. 12 times

Explanation:

Interest period is the duration of the deposit. It is the length of time the money would remain in deposit. This is 2 years according to the question

Compounding period = number of times interest would be paid. In the question, this is a year. So interest would be paid every year

The compounding frequency - it is the number of times the deposit would be compounded. It is 12 months

The future value of the deposit can be determined using this formula :  

FV = P (1 + r/m)^nm

FV = Future value  

P = Present value  

R = interest rate  

N = number of years

m = number of compounding

klasskru [66]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. The Mars Climate Orbiter crashed on the surface of Mars because one program output thrust in terms of foot-pounds, and another program expected thrust to be expressed in terms of newtons.

Explanation:

The Mars Climate Orbiter was NASA’s unsuccessful mission to study the Martian climate, part of the Mars Surveyor 98 program. The MCO was created as a satellite-translator for the Mars Polar Lander lander, and after the latter ceased to function, it was supposed to study the Martian climate.

The Mars Climate Orbiter was destroyed when a navigation error caused the probe to be improperly elevated as it entered orbit. The vehicle was destroyed by the friction and stresses in Mars' atmosphere. An investigation showed that some data for the rocket system were calculated in English units (pound-force-second) while the navigation team expected SI units (Newton-second).

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

Hart's note should be reported at $10,000 and Maxx's note should be reported at $7,820

Explanation:

Since Hart's note is a current note (due within one year) it should be reported at future value = $10,000

Marxx's note must be reported at present value:

present value =  future value x discount factor = {$10,000 [1 + (3% x 5)]} x 0.68

present value = $11,500 x 0.68 = $7,820

*we use simple interest to calculate the future value of Marxx's debt since Jet Co. doesn't charge compound interest
