The Sisyphean Company is planning on investing in a new project. This will involve the purchase of some new machinery costing $400,000. The Sisyphean Company expects cash inflows from this project as detailed below: Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 $157,452.975 / $157,452.975/ $157,452.975/ $157,452.975 The appropriate discount rate for this project is 15%. The internal rate of return (IRR) for this project is closest to ________.

Answer:

21%

Explanation:

Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after-tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested

IRR can be calculated with a financial calculator  

Cash flow in year 0 = $-400,000.

Cash flow in year 1 - 4 = $157,452.975

IRR = 21%

To find the IRR using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.

The sensitivity of a system for disciplining and possibly terminating employees is important, and it is critical that the system be seen as fair. Employees form conclusions about the system's fairness based on the system's outcomes and procedures and the way managers treat employees when carrying out those procedures. Three principles of justice are outcome fairness, procedural justice, and interactional justice.
Outcome fairness involves the ends of a discipline process or action, while procedural and interactional justice focus on the means to those ends. Not only is behavior ethical that is in accord with these principles, but research has also linked the last two categories of justice with employee satisfaction and productivity
