Answer:

lower than 4.53%

Explanation:

To determine whether the project is viable, we will use the Internal Rate of Return (IRR). This is the rate at which the Net Present Value (NPV) becomes Nil. In other words, the point at which the discounted net cash outflows are equal to the discounted net cash inflows

In this question, there is one outflow of cash worth $220 million at the start of the project (t=0) and one inflow of $300 million in 7 years.

To calculate IRR, we will use the following formula:.

220 = [300 / ((1+r)^7)]

Solving for r, we find that the interest rate is 4.53%.

Given the cash flows, the project should be accepted at all rates below 4.53% as it will create value for the company.

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

The computation of the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate per hour is shown below:

= Total Factory overhead ÷ Estimated labor hours

where,

Total factory overhead is

= Salary of factory supervisor + Heating and lighting costs for factory + Depreciation on factory equipment

= $37,000 + $22,300 + $5,600

= $64,900

And, the machine hours is 2.900

So, the predetermined overhead rate is

An income tax is progressive if the
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

Option C- An income tax is progressive if the percentage of income paid as taxes increases as income increases.

Explanation:

Majorly, there are three types of Tax systems; these are:  Progressive, regressive and proportional.

A tax in which the tax rate increases as the taxable amount increases is known as a progressive tax.

The term "progressive" refers to the way the tax rate progresses from low to high, such that a taxpayer's average tax rate is less than the person's marginal tax rate.

Also,a progressive tax is  applicable to individual taxes or to a tax system as a whole; a year, multi-year, or lifetime. It is imposed with the aim of reducing the tax incidence of people with a lower ability to pay, as such taxes shift the incidence increasingly to those with a higher ability-to-pay.

Thus, an income tax is progressive if the percentage of income paid as taxes increases as income increases.

stira [4]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. postconventional.

Explanation:

This level of moral development consists of an approach from a perspective superior to society. The person who reaches this level sees beyond the norms of his own community, reaching the principles on which any good society is based. Very few adults manage to have a postconventional trial.

Those individuals who reach the postconventional level have their own ethical principles, which include basic human rights such as life, freedom and justice; they see the rules as useful but modifiable mechanisms, instead of absolute norms that must be obeyed without questioning.

Because individuals with a postconventional reasoning overlap their own moral evaluation of situations about social conventions, their behavior, especially in stage six, can sometimes be confused with that of those who are in the preconventional stage.
