Option B, IRR is 14.42%
Explanation:
The IRR is the rate of return that equates the cost of the project to the present value of cash flows receivable from the project in future.
Using an excel approach, the formula formula IRR is given as:

The values in this case are
-$1300 in year 0
$450 in year 1
$450 in year two
$450 in year 3
$450 in year 4
The irr gives 14.42% as shown in the spreadsheet attached
The cost of the investment of the investment project of $1300 equals the present values of its cash flows at 14.42% rate of return
Answer:
US specialisation in TV can be stated on the basis of Absolute Advantage, not comparative advantage.
Explanation:
Absolute Advantage is when a country can produce more output per input of a commodity, than other country.
Comparative Advantage is when a country can produce a good at lower opportunity cost (in terms of other sacrifised)
China can produce more (ie 5 units television) per hour employed, compared to US able to produce lesser (3 units) in the same time. So, on the basis of Absolute Advantage, it can be stated that US should specialise in TV production.
However, since other good's details have not been given. So, we cannot attain the relative opportunity costs. Hence, specialisation on the basis of comparative advantage can't be stated.

Yes.
I agree with the statement that "Persistent long-term growth is most achievable in moderate rates."
Explanation:
For instance, Company B may not be motivated to continue on its growth trajectory because it has doubled in size in a few years. The reason for this demotivation is that to achieve further growth may not become a motivator and it may not be repeatable, with management relaxing its growth efforts. Companies that achieve persistent long-term growth usually grow at moderate rates.
