Making financial decision's
Jack is a 40-year-old construction worker. He makes $33,500 per year. He only saves 5 percent of his salary per year since it is all he feels he can afford. His friend Joe suggests that he invest his money conservatively so that it won’t lose as much value if the market takes a nosedive. His other friend Jim thinks that investing aggressively with high risk is the way to go since Jack has several years to work to make up for any losses.
The question is: What do you suggest to jack?
**I'm not sure how I should be looking at this question. If you could provide bullet points to focus my learning or short response to the question, or an answer you found else were would truly help.**

After seeing this revised budget, the production manager cautioned that due to the current production constraint, a complex milling machine, the plant can produce no more than 90,000 units in any one quarter. Is this a potential problem? |
