(Ignore income taxes in this problem.) Company B is considering the purchase of a machine costing $15,000. Estimated cash savings from using the new machine are $3,826 per year. The machine will have no salvage value at the end of its useful life of seven years and the hurdle rate for Company B is 18%.

a. The machine's internal rate of return is closest to:

b. Should Company B accept the project?

c. Why should Company B accept or reject the project?

chase is right because he already been to the swings and he know how far it will be to get there

step-by-step explanation:

95.03 is the answer. hope this !

55.44 inches

step-by-step explanation:

part a. assuming a perfectly linear relationship, we can find the slope from the first two data points.

slope = m = (change in rainfall)/(change in years)

= (61.80 -62.33)/(2005 -2004) = -0.53/1 = -0.53

then the point-slope form of the equation of the line can be written as

y = m(x -h) +k . . . . . m = -0.53, (h, k) = (0, 62.33)

y = -0.53x +62.33 . . . x = years after 2004

part b. in 2017, x = 2017 -2004 = 13. then the predicted rainfall is

y = -0.53·13 +62.33 = 55.44 . . inches

the predicted rainfall in 2017 is 55.44 in.
