further fines for illegal dumping of materials like steel and aluminum.

which is a significant ethical breach. This reflects poor governance and could
lead to legal consequences, reputational damage, and further regulatory scrutiny.
3. Social Responsibility: The company must address the environmental hazards it
has caused through illegal dumping. Failure to operate sustainably can harm the
community and environment, affecting public perception and customer loyalty.
b) Calculate IRR using interpolation between 15% and 18% (9 marks)
1. Present Value at 15%:
PV=R2,000,000(1.15) ^1+R3,000,000(1.15) ^2+R3,500,000(1.15) ^3
PV=(1.15)1R2,000,000+(1.15)2R3,000,000+(1.15)3R3,500,000
Present values at 15%:
PV(15%)=R1,739,130.43+R2,268,041.24+R2,308,880.31=R6,316,051.98PV(15\
%) = R1,739,130.43 + R2,268,041.24 + R2,308,880.31 = R6,316,051.98
PV(15%)=R1,739,130.43+R2,268,041.24+R2,308,880.31=R6,316,051.98
NPV(15%) = R6,316,051.98 - R6,000,000 = R316,051.98
2. Present Value at 18%:
PV=(1.18)1R2,000,000+(1.18)2R3,000,000+(1.18)3R3,500,000
