The supervisor set up a special meeting with Jose, her intern so he could see an initial client meeting in action. To accommodate Jose's school schedule, she planned the meeting with her client for the afternoon at 1:00 PM and informed the client an intern would be joining
them. Jose had the meeting on his calendar but forgot about it. He emailed his supervisor this morning at 12:00 PM saying he had a dentist
appointment at 1:00 PM and would not be able to make it to his internship this afternoon. How can you communicate to Jose the importance
of this meeting and the need to tell his supervisor well ahead of time that he needs to request time off?

Suppose you win a small lottery and have the choice of two ways to be paid: you can accept the money in a lump sum or in a series of payments over time. if you pick the lump sum, you get $2,950 today. if you pick payments over time, you get three payments: $1,000 today, $1,000 1 year from today, and $1,000 2 years from today. 1) at an interest rate of 6% per year, the winner would be better off accepting the (lump sum / payments over time), since it has the greater present value. 2) at an interest rate of 9% per year, the winner would be better off accepting the (lump sum / payments over time), since it has the greater present value. 3) years after you win the lottery, a friend in another country calls to ask your advice. by wild coincidence, she has just won another lottery with the same payout schemes. she must make a quick decision about whether to collect her money under the lump sum or the payments over time. what is the best advice to give your friend? a) the lump sum is always better. b) the payments over time are always better. c) it will depend on the interest rate; advise her to get a calculator. d) none of these answers is good advice.
