Answer: A. project cost of capital.

Explanation:

The project cost of capital is the minimum expected rate of project given the type of risk that is attached to it.

When a project is of a certain risk, the company will need a certain rate of return to compensate it for that risk.

This rate is the cost of capital and it is usually based on the company's Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) which measure the cost the company incurs when using equity and debt to raise capital.

The project cost of capital will be a rate that compensates the company enough to enable it compensate its capital providers.

Answer:

<u><em>Remedy</em></u>

Explanation:

This question comes with these answer choices:

a. remedy.

b. rumination.

c. responsibility.

d. regret.

<h2>Solution</h2>

Saying sorry is not enough in most cases. The apology should include efforts to remedy or reduce the harm caused. Some kind of compensation.

Bill should find out what consequences his action had on Sally, and thus try to compensate in a way that the negative consequences are eliminated or minimized: is it necessary to replace something?, is it necessary to pay for monetary loss?, are feelings hurt, so that you need to change your behavior to remediate the situation?

Start by establishing the consequences of your action on the offended person and then implement a remedy.

Answer:

4.25%

Explanation:

We need to calculate the net present value of the cash flows to determine the IRR.

NPV = PV of Cash inflows - PV of Cash outflows

As the cash inflow and outflow are fixed for specific period of time so, we will use the annuity formula to calculate the NPV.

NPV = [ $5,000 x ( 1 - ( 1 + 18% )^-5) /18% ] - [ ( $4,000 x ( 1 - ( 1 + 18% )^-12) /18%) x ( 1 + 18%)^-6 ]

NPV = $15,636 - $7,102 = $8,534

We need NPV on a higher rate of 10%

NPV = [ $5,000 x ( 1 - ( 1 + 10% )^-5) /10% ] - [ ( $4,000 x ( 1 - ( 1 + 10% )^-12) /10%) x ( 1 + 10%)^-6 ]

NPV = $18,954 - $15,385 = $3,569

IRR = Lower rate + [ Lower rate NPV / (Lower rate NPV - Higher rate NPV) ] (higher rate - lower rate)

IRR = 10% + [ 3,569 / ($3,569 - $8,534) ] (18% - 10%)

IRR = 4.25%

QuickBooks online uses machine learning based on the transactions that it conducts with its millions of users so that it provides a better experience for those same users.

One way machine learning is used is in reconciliation where it identifies transactions that may have a future date but by virtue of their clearing dates should be in the current period and so may have been hidden.
