You would like to be a millionaire when you retire in 40 years, and how much you must invest today to reach that goal clearly depends on what rate of return you can earn. First, suppose you can earn 10.4% per year, and calculate how much you would have to invest today. Second, suppose you can only earn half that percentage rate, and calculate how much you would have to invest today. Divide the second by the first, to see how many times more you must invest today at half that annual rate grow it to $1 million over 40 years.

Home Inspirations Mary works for her father in a family-owned business called Home Inspirations, a bedding company that has been in operation since the 1800s. When her father retires, Mary plans on taking over the business. Mary is aware of many things about the company that she likes, and a few things that she does not. She has particularly noted that when the economy has low unemployment and high total income, sales are great. However, any other time, sales are not so good. Currently, all of the bedding items are created in one place and everyone works on various tasks every day. Mary is thinking about streamlining the production process so that individuals would be responsible for only one task. She believes that if production would increase, she could sell her products at a lower price and increase revenue. She knows that most bedding products available in the market are very similar in nature and satisfy the same need. However, if she were able to lower prices, this might give her company the competitive advantage that it needs. She would then be able to invest money in differentiating her products by providing unique features, building the brand name, and offering services such as free delivery. She is also considering selling her products on the Internet. Mary knows that her father does not like change very much, but she feels these changes are important for the future of the company.
Refer to Home Inspirations.Mary noticed that when sales were up,the economy was in a

Jingfei, an employee of Chinese origin, works as a sales representative at Global Recyclers International. Her supervisor, Ralph, persistently refers to her as "Julie" instead of "Jingfei." Although she objects and asks to be called by her rightful name, Ralph continues to call her "Julie" for over a year and justifies his actions by saying that an American-sounding name would increase her chances of success and would be more acceptable to Global's clientele. Jingfei brings a complaint under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Which of the following holds true in this case? a) Global Recyclers International will not be liable to Jingfei because the use of "Julie" is neither a racial epithet nor a description of her physical ethnic traits. b) Global Recyclers International will not be liable to Jingfei because Ralph did not intend his use of "Julie" to be derogatory of her national origin. c) Global Recyclers International will be liable to Jingfei because Title VII provides protection against discrimination based on a victim's country of citizenship. d) Global Recyclers International will be liable to Jingfei because ethnic characteristics go beyond skin color and other physical traits and can include names.
