If a company has a required rate of return of 15%, should the following project be accepted based on these expected cash flows below?Year 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 Cash Flow (274,000) 68,000 73,000 76,500 78,000 82,500 77,000 Please explain why or why not the company should move forward with this endeavor.

Yes

Explanation:

In order for deciding whether the company should forward or not, we have to find out the net present value which is shown below:

Year              Cash flows             Discount factor       Present value  

0                        -274000                      1                        -274000

1                           68000                    0.8696                   59130.43

2                          73000                    0.7561                    55198.49

3                           76500                    0.6575                   50299.99

4                          78000                      0.5718                   44596.75

5                          82500                     0.4972                   41017.08

6                           77000                     0.4323                    33289.22

Total present value                                                           283531.97

Net present value                                                                9531.97

Since the net present value comes in positive so the project should be accpeted

ans.

heterothermic organisms include those organisms that can switch between homeothermic (having body temperature higher than environment) and poikilothermic (having variation in internal body temperature) strategies.

some migratory birds show heterothermy as they decrease their metabolic rate during cold nights to keep their body temperature low. drop in metabolic rate allows increase in production efficiency of birds that reduces the internal body temperature to make it equal to external cold temperature during cold nights.

thus, the correct answer is 'birds allow their temperature drop in order to increase their production efficiency.'

rational decision making is a multi-step process for making choices between alternatives. the process of rational decision making favors logic, objectivity, and analysis over subjectivity and insight. the word “rational” in this context does not mean sane or clear-headed as it does in the colloquial sense.
