Suppose your firm is considering investing in a project with the cash flows shown as follows, that the required rate of return on projects of this risk class is 10 percent, and that the maximum allowable payback and discounted payback statistics for the project are three and a half and four and a half years, respectively. use the irr decision to evaluate this project; should it be accepted or rejected

One country has a comparative advantage over another country in the production of a good if ithas a curved production possibilities curve and the other country has a linear production possibilities curve. has lower fixed costs than the other country. has a linear production possibilities curve and the other country has a curved production possibilities curve. is a lower opportunity cost producer of the good.

Here are the expected cash flows for three projects: cash flows (dollars) project year: 0 1 2 3 4 a − 6,100 + 1,275 + 1,275 + 3,550 0 b − 2,100 0 + 2,100 + 2,550 + 3,550 c − 6,100 + 1,275 + 1,275 + 3,550 + 5,550 a. what is the payback period on each of the projects? b. if you use a cutoff period of 2 years, which projects would you accept?
