A typical 10-year-old may be in any stage that Piagetian has developed. There are three main stages. First in the pre-operational‚ second is the concrete operational and the third stage is formal operational. To determine what stage the 10-year-old is in‚ I would conduct two tasks.

Chapter 10 Problems 1. How much interest would be earned (on a simple interest basis) from a three-day money market loan for $1 million at an interest rate of 12 percent (annual rate)? Suppose the loan were extended on the third day for an additional day at the going market rate of 11 percent. How much total interest income would the money-market lender receive?
