Answer:
in Texas, the amount of oil and natural gas produced together with the market price determines the amount of tax to be generated.
Taxes levied on the sale, manufacture or use of specific items such as liquor, cigarettes, and gasoline are known as <u>selective sales taxes</u>, as well as <u>excise taxes.</u>
So, there aren't taxes on a whole bunch of products, but rather on a selected few, which (in the case of alcohol and cigarettes) are considered detrimental to the society and thus people who want to use them have to pay a little bit more in order to have that commodity.

a. Calculate NPV, IRR, MIRR, payback, and discounted payback for each project
Dry Prepreg
NPV = $4,330
IRR = 19.86%
MIRR = 17.12%
payback = 3 years
discounted payback = 4.17 years
Solvent Prepreg
NPV = $6,130
IRR = 16.80%
MIRR = 15.51%
payback = 3.21 years
discounted payback = 4.58 years
b. Assuming the projects are independent, which one(s) would you recommend?
- both projects, since their NPV is positive
c. If the projects are mutually exclusive, which would you recommend?
Dry prepreg becuase its IRR, MIRR are higher, and its payback and discounted payback periods are shorter.
Can I get more information?
