When teaching a student about constructing explanations it is important to understand what the purpose of the explanation is trying to say; being thorough is going to be the best option as the more details that are available the more likely the person reviewing the experiment will understand what was trying to be done. The use of computational thinking requires a student to be logical, this is required to be able to solve problems that are more complicated, it involves many aspects such as mathematics (to solve equations), gathering information from many sources; it also requires that the student be able to understand how to gather information from different sources such as the internet or different scientific books (which can be accessed in many locations
“Small businesses with under the equivalent of 50 full-time equivalent employees and who make less than $250,000 will reap the benefits of ObamaCare getting better access to more affordable quality insurance. Those with over 50 full-time equivalent employees or those who make over $250,000 may face the "employer mandate" come 2015 and a Medicare Part A increase. Small businesses under 25 full-time employees who choose to insure employees can receive tax breaks of up to 35% for 2013 and 50% for 2014 through the SHOP.

,Sarah L. G January 6, 2013 Written Assignment #1 1. A) $1,000 with 5% interest after 10 years gives you $1,628. Therefore, you would gain $628 in interest. B) If the interest is withdrawn each year, a total of $500 would be earned because the $1,000 investment would earn $50 of simple interest each year. C) The answers are different because if the interest is left untouched, it makes the principal amount higher each year, giving more money after 10 years.
This is partly a practical decision given that we have not provided rates beyond 20 year term in the book. We use the quoted value for $250,000 policies pro-rated to the size of policy we need, and this is incorrect — policy premiums per dollar decline as the size of the policy rises, since some costs are fixed. However, it is the best we have, and the difference will not be
They both plan to retire 45 years from today. Because their budget seems tight right now, they had been thinking that they would wait at least 10 years and then start investing $2400 per year to prepare for retirement. Tricia just told Tom, though, that she had heard that they would actually have more money the day they retire if they put $2400 per year away for the next 10 years – and then simply let that money sit for the next 35 years without any additional payments – than they would have if they waited 10 years to start investing for retirement and then made yearly payments for 35 years (as they originally planned to do). Please help Tom and Tricia make an informed decision: Assume that all payments are made at the end of a year, and that the rate of return on all yearly investments will be 8% annually. 1.
support teaching and learning Unit 312 Support numeracy development Outcome 1: Understand current national and organisational frameworks for mathematics 1.1: Explain the aims and importance of learning provision for numeracy development The aims and importance of learning provision for numeracy development is to ensure that all pupils understand that maths is an important part of everyday life, and will continue to be used throughout their life. Maths is taught to children in many different ways, sometimes there can be too much emphasis on the recording of ‘sums’, if this is introduced to children too early it can slow down the pupil’s progress in thinking mathematically. Maths is now taught very differently to when I was in school, because there is more emphasis now in how you arrive at the answer and finding different methods of arriving at the correct answer particularly in the early primary phase. Showing the children different methods of arriving at the answer improves their investigation skills. The mathematics curriculum is intended to give the children a better understanding of numeracy.
This project will need $3.4 million less than the P04 project and the only component in the investment, which will be more, compared to P04 is the building cost (378 K$). Cannibalization of other store’s sales As the nearest target store closest to the project is 80 miles away, no cannibalization of sales is expected. And this store will generate a sale of $30.5 million in 5 years, which will be almost 2.7 million dollars above expected sales from P04. This store is assumed to take it’s a maximum market share from Walmart in 2008. Store Sensitivities Even if this store has 18.1% lower sales than the forecasted level by R&P, it can achieve the accepted NPV of prototype, besides, construction cost can increase to near $10 million and still the project can achieve the expected NPV of the P04.
Shifting a portion of income to family members can also lower ones tax bill, you are allowed to give $12,000 per year to each recipient without incurring a gift tax but watch out for kiddie tax rules before considering this option. Claim your dependents on your taxes as it may mean $1k per each qualified child dependent showing up as a tax credit for the year. Credits are worth more than deductions since they directly lower ones tax liability dollar for dollar. Plan deductions by determining if taking them this year compared to next year would be more beneficial your
Yes, the penny is only worth one cent. But if someone were to save those pennies, the amount of money that would come out of it would be surprising. Source B confirms that saving pennies will eventually save you a lot in the long run. Saving 90 a day for 38 years will give you $13,084.59. A lot of people seem to assume that pennies are the only coin that gets lost so often and is going un-used.
“5 Ways to Fix Social Security” states that the current Social Security trust could be depleted in 2033 and afterwards, there would only be enough revenue to pay 75 percent of the promised benefits to citizens. She suggests ways to help prolong, if not eliminate this depletion. Many of these may not be popular implementations but they are ways that can help make sure that Social Security benefits would continue to help retirees and those unable to work. First is a gradual, one percent tax increase applied between now and 2036. This alone would help rid over half of the deficit.
