I chose to look at the OPIC website and here are some of the

5. interesting points I discovered. OPIC stands for Overseas
Private Investment Corporation and is a U.S government
organization which uses private capital to invest in foreign
businesses. These foreign companies are located all over the
world and have promising growth potential which many U.S
corporations find appealing and want to invest in them. By
investing, employment opportunities and improved living
conditions are created for the citizens of these countries while
allowing participating U.S. companies to turn a profit. It also
allows the U.S government to improve its foreign policy
relations with these countries and their leadership.
Some of the things that makes OPIC attractive to U.S.
companies is that they can assist private companies in funding
certain projects in foreign companies where funding and lending
opportunities might not exist otherwise. Also, OPIC has an
insurance plan that minimizes the risks and protects investments
for U.S companies in case the political or economic situation of
the foreign country worsens. Another thing I found interesting
about OPIC is that it is a self-sustaining program and is not
funded one bit by American taxpayer dollars. In fact, the
program has generated money for American taxpayers and
helped reduce the federal deficit for the past 38 years.

Hello Professor,
The first website brought me to
www.sage.com
, and I found out that the sage website provides a resource
planning software for small and medium sized business both
international and local. This software helps the company
manage finances, inventory, and general operations such as
payments, sales, and customer management etc to help keep
your business running as efficient as possible for a very
affordable price as low as $75. Per month. This software allows
the company to keep track of sales and purchases in any
customizable currencies. However, if the company has many
branches, this software allows you to have an overview of all
subsidiaries or companies, and transactions can be done
between subsidiaries or companies. In addition, the software
allows the company to maintain its profits by providing
budgeting tools which is very vital for any company.
Secondly, the FDIC website is a government corporation that
provides depositors insurance which guarantees the safety of
your money in banks up to $250,000.00 one deposit per bank. I

7. honestly thought depositors insurance was only done by banks,
but it is always good to know there are outside resources. This
corporation covers everything from your checking account,
savings account, certificate of deposits,and money market
accounts; it does not cover stocks, bonds, insurance policies,
and mutual funds. However, the accounts that are covered,
covers your principal amount as well as any interest that have
accrued. Not only does this website provide coverage for your
deposits, but it also provides a wide range of very useful
information about mortgages, credit reports, and cybersecurity.
Under the mortgage tab, firstly, it gives you information on
what is a mortgage. Secondly, it tells you the different types of
mortgages, such as the fixed rate mortgage, the adjustable
interest rate mortgages, the interest only, and the negative
amortization loans; the last two mentioned are much more risky
than the others. Lastly, it gave information about the mortgage
disclosure rules.
