Answer:

The correct word for the blank space is: policy protection; corrections.

Explanation:

Policy protection is related to the regulation of individuals' reckless behavior such as abuse or trafficking of drugs, theft, domestic violence, school safety, and juvenile misbehavior. Local governments -counties and districts- have the power to enforce law over those matters until their jurisdiction allows it.

Criminal corrections involve all the penalties a state must impose on individuals who committed improper behavior and were against the law, thus, they must be punished.

Should Tangshan Mining company accept a new project if its maximum payback is 3.5 years and its initial after tax cost is $5,00

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

Yes, Tangshan Mining company should accept the project.

Explanation:

Payback period is the number of years it takes for a project's expected cash inflows to recover the initial investment amount.

Tangshan company's required payback period = 3.5 years

Year CF Net CF

0 -5,000,000 -5,000,000

1 1,800,000 -3,200,000

2 1,900,000 -1,300,000

3 700,000 -600,000

4 1,800,000 1,200,000

Payback period = last year with -net CF +(absolute net CF that year /total CF the following year)

Payback period = 3 + (600,000 / 1,800,000)

=3 + 0.33

= 3.33 years

Since 3.33 years is lower than the required payback period of 3.5 years, Tangshan Mining company should ACCEPT the new project; it will take less years to fully recover the initial amount investment.
