Part 7: Level 350-500 Test 5

Questions 1-3 refer to the following letter.

Dear product development managers:

My name is Peter Sandler. My partner/brother Dennis and I have created a product we think you will be interested in – a device that fits comfortably in one’s pocket and is able to perform two unique tasks. The first is that of a high-performance recorder. With the touch of a button, one can record any conversation within ten meters. The uniqueness lies in that it is able to do this from the confines of a bag, pocket or briefcase. The second feature is a 6.0-megapixel digital camera. It can take detailed pictures of objects as far as one hundred meters away without making a sound. We have also come up with what we think is a very marketable name for this product, spy-pod.

If you would like to meet with us to discuss the features and costs of spy-pod, please respond to this letter. We will send you an e-brochure with all the information you will need. We will be touring Europe in January and February with a prototype of our product, so if you are interested, please let us know as soon as possible so we can fit you into our travel plans. Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,

Peter Sandler

Presdent

Questions 4-7 refer to following article
With everyone practicing “safe investing” these days, it’s hard to find something to get excited about in the financial world. Are people really on cloud nine because they are making one percent a year from interest on their savings account? What ever happened to rolling the dice?

There is obviously something to be said about working hard, putting money in the bank every month and watching it grow ever so slowly, so that kids can go to college and parents can retire eventually. This is what the majority of our population does, so it must be the most reasonable thing to do.

But wait. There are many investment opportunities out there. Most analyst agree that it’s a buyer’s market. Investing blindfolded is risk, so putting your money in areas you are not familiar with is not advised. Get yourself a good financial advisor and get your money working for you- not the other way around.
