Answer: Yes,it is legal and or ethical to allow Tommy to escape his contractual obligations.
Explanation:
A contract is an agreement made between two or more persons which the court of law can enforced. Under the law of contract, one of the essential elements of a valid contract is capacity, which states that a person must be of legal age before such a person can enter into a contract. For example a legal age is 18 years. In a law of contract any contract enter into with a minor is null and void according to the law. The exception to this rule is when a minor enter into a contract for the supply of necessity such as food and clothing. It is evidence that Tommy McCartney is 16 years old as at the time of entering into the contract for the purchase of the car from the store. In this case, by virtue of being a minor he does not have the backing of the law to enter into the contract for the purchase of the car from the store as at the time he does so.
Therefore, based on this legal point ,the contract is voidable.Tommy money must be returned to him because the contract between him and the store is null and void.It is therefore legal to allow Tommy to escape his contractual obligations
Answer:
Accepted and rejected
Explanation:
Since the internal rate of return is 13.09% and the WACC is 12.68%
As we can see that the internal rate of return is higher than the WACC as WACC is considered as the discount rate
So the project should be accepted
And, if CAPM is used
So, the expected rate of return is
If CAPM is used
Risk-free rate of return + Beta × market risk premium
= 2.9% + 1.42 × 8.1%
= 2.9% + 11.502%
= 14.40%
And, The Internal rate of return = 13.09%
Since the internal rate of return is less than the expected rate of return therefore the project should be rejected
