In essence,projects A,B,C,D and E should be accepted as they 12%,11.5%,11.2%,11% and 10.7% returns on investment respectively.

Projects F& G would be rejected on the premise that their rates of return are lower than what is currently obtainable in Midwest Water Works.

taurus [48]

Since a consent has been reached between the two parties before the judge, Charles would pay the sum in the stipulated manner. The acceptance of the offer of payment by Sandra made it a binding contract for Charles, so he is bound by this service until he pays the full amount to Sandra.
