When my son gives me his report card from school, I was so upset. Some of his grades in academic subject are low, especially in math.
He has comment in the report card that he is not doing his Algebra 1 , specifically in calculus exponential problem. My son said it is very difficult to understand this subject that is why he only ignores his assignment and guessing the answer during exam. So I decided to subscribe in Algebra 1 help on the internet to help him understand step by step how to solve problems in calculus. Free math tutoring online will be his online teacher after school. In this method of teaching he has all the time to ask question to online tutor for the Algebra 1 answers that holds master degree in math and have the relevant teaching experience. He have also the chance to take math exam as many as he want to know his improvement of learning.
Free math tutoring gives him quick assistance in every wrong answer he got and corrects it immediately and explains how to get the right answer.

Wise consumers use the same criteria for choosing a body shop that they use for other types of auto repair: a good reputation, highly skilled technicians, proper equipment, and emphasis on quality repairs. Don’t choose a shop based on its advertising.
To check on a shop’s reputation, ask people in the area what kind of experiences they’ve had with the shop. Ask your mechanic which body shops do the best work, then call the local Better Business Bureau to see if they have a satisfactory rating. And don’t be afraid to ask a shop to show you their credentials; look for diplomas or certificates that verify training in the types of repairs they perform. Visit the shop to see some of the cars they’ve just repaired and inspect them closely
To find well-trained technicians, look for shops that employ mechanics and well trained. If they’re also certifled by ASE in damage repair and structural analysis, that’s also a plus.

An article in Automotive News told how Ford had been offering cash bonuses to its salespeople for writing Red Carpet Leases. Typical bonus amounts were $75 to $100 per lease, but the bonus was increased if the new lease was a renewal. Some bonuses were as high as $500 per vehicle, and this was in addition to their normal salary and/or commission. The bonus program was started in 1989 and was supposedly discontinued in 1995.
So Ford’s salespeople were presenting themselves to customers as “trusted advisers” and telling them that leasing was the smart thing to do, while they were being paid generous bonuses for convincing people to lease. (And they still got bonuses, and bigger commission checks, if they overcharged customers on leases.) Of course, their customers weren’t told about the bonuses, or the fact that so many of them had been overcharged.

The training seminars also taught salespeople to focus customers on monthly payments and avoid discussing or disclosing the cap costs of vehicles. Numerous strategies and tricks were taught that were designed to conceal the actual prices that customers were paying.
For example, page 3-30 of the 1989 manual says, “Customer Response: What are you charging me for the car?” It then explains how to deceive the customer into thinking the deal has a big discount: “Salesperson: Mr. Customer, are asking me what kind of a discount you are getting?” Salespeople were then taught a deceptive strategy to add up the monthly payments (and any down payment) on the lease, comparing the total with the MSRP to trick customers into thinking that the price was a lot lower than suggested retail.
No mention was made of revealing the actual price (or cap cost). And that was important, since dealers and salespeople were also taught how to cheat customers on discounts and secretly increase the prices of cars.

Ford’s lease training included instruction on how to misquote monthly payments to cheat customers out of negotiated discounts. If a customer said that he would not OK a deal unless they gave him a price discount on a car, they were taught how to trick him into believing that a smaller payment reduction was legitimate.
A number of documents in the training manuals told salespeople that the proper monthly payment change for each $1,000 in gross [price] was $50. Page 2-30 in the 1993 manual says, “Rule! $1,000 in Gross = $50 in Payment. We can simplify by using a ‘rule of thumb’ Factor of 2.” And page 2-34 in the same manual says, “We know that $60 in payments is equal to $1,200 in Gross.” It also mentioned the “Factor of 2.”
However, on a page titled, “What Kind of Discount Are You Giving Me?” (3-9 in the 1993 manual), salespeople were told to use a different factor to figure payment reductions for discounts. The manual tells how to do this in front of the customer “Write down the discount amount, then using a “3” factor, convert that to a lower payment amount:—$ 1,500 discount equals $45 per month.”
Since the monthly payment reduction they were quoting (for 2 years) was about the same as the real one on a 3-year loan, most people would not have known that they were being cheated out of 40% of their discount.

Ford’s method of calculating and quoting interest rates on leases allowed its dealers to deceive their customers into thinking that they were getting lower rates. And since the company did not provide written disclosure of the actual rates, dealers were free to quote any rate that sounded good, without fear of getting caught.
In many cases, the actual interest rates on Ford leases were about 1.5 to 2.0 points higher than those charged by other lenders. Quoting lower rates obviously helped dealers to convince people that their leases were “good deals,” even though the rates may have been deceptive. (Recent quotes obtained from a number of Ford dealers understated the actual interest rates by about $30 a month on one particular vehicle.)
Ford’s “rate discrepancy” is due to a hidden administrative fee that the company adds to its monthly finance charges, but only the “base rate” is used when quoting rates to customers. The undisclosed part of the finance charges causes the real APR to be a lot higher, so if a dealer tells you the “rate” on a lease is 9.0%, it’s probably closer to 10.75%.
The company’s RCL dealer handbook explained this hidden fee in a question-and-answer section: “Q: Is a lease factor like 10.50 the same as a 10.50% APR? A:
No. The lease monthly payment may include local fees, where applicable, and an administrative fee of 1/9 of 1% of the acquisition cost. The implicit rate to the customer is approximately 1.75% point higher than the stated factor.” [emphasis mine]

Some new-car dealers only re-sell the used-car stock near their retail prices. These non-aggressive dealers owner’s don’t require huge profits-margins from their sales managers. In other words, the dealer’s owner is very patient with their sales department and manager. Unfortunately, these new-car dealerships usually don’t discount their used cars enough to interest savvy-buyers. Sales managers who work for non- aggressive dealer would prefer to “safeguard” their in-stack inventory and salesmen’s selling-time, then to sell used-car “cream puffs” at huge discounts to a bunch of bargain hunters! -
