Considering the performance formula in the context of a marathon, a runner’s desire to surpass a personal record or to raise awareness for a cause by way of running represents their:

Authentic leaders build legitimacy through open and honest relationships with followers.

 An investmet project requires initial investment of 100,000. There are three possible outcomes for this project: 1) 5% probability of sucees that investment yields annual income of 40,000 for eigth years (starting from year 1 to year 8) and zero salvage value 2) 35% probability of sucees that investment yields annual income of 28,000 for eigth years (starting from year 1 to year 8) and zero salvage value3) 60% probability of failure that yields zero annual income but salvage value of 70,000 dollar at the end of year 1 Considering minimum ROR 8%, calculate the expected NPV and explain if this investment is satisfactory. Explain your work in detail including all the required equations and calculations.

Calculate ROR for the investment of:  Initial investments of C0 = $800 at the present time and C1=$700 at the end of the first year. This investment yields an annual income of $450 for five years, starting from the second year to the sixth year and the salvage value will be $750, incurred at the end of the sixth year. 

According to your reading, the following efforts can assist you in developing political skills, EXCEPT:

Charismatic leaders ask questions such as, “What can I do to help you do your job?” and “What do you need from me?”

Rebecca, the office manager, asks Gabe, one of her direct reports, to recalculate his expense report. Gabe does not understand why he is being asked to complete this task, but he does so anyway “because Rebecca is the boss.” Day-to-day manager-employee interactions, such as the one described in this scenario, illustrate expert power.

 Calculate the annual rate of return for a new bond with a face value of $1000 dollars and a maturity date of 10 years that pays 30 dollars every six months. Please include the equation for calculating ROR.

 Please calculate the APR for a loan with the following conditions:  $25,000 loan with an interest rate of 6% compounded annually and a repayment period of 8 years. The costs deducted at the time of taking the loan (present time) include 2 points and a loan originating fee of 150 dollars.
