HomeGrown Company is a chain of grocery stores that are similar to indoor farmer's markets, providing fresh, local produce, meats, and dairy products to consumers in urban areas. HomeGrown is considering opening several stores in a new city, and has proposals from three contractors (Alpha, Beta, and Gamma companies) who would like to provide buildings for the new stores. The amount of expected revenue from the stores will depend on the design of the contractor. For example, if HomeGrown decides on a more open floor plan, with less shelf space for products, revenue would be lower overall. However, if HomeGrown decides on a very crowded floor plan, it may lose customers who appreciate a more open feel. As the project manager for HomeGrown, you are responsible for deciding which if any of the proposals to accept. HomeGrown's minimum acceptable rate of return is 20%. You receive the following data from the three contractors:Proposal Type of Floor Plan Investment if Selected Residual ValueAlpha Very open, like an indoor farmer’s market $1,472,000 $0.00Beta Standard grocery shelving and layout, minimal aisle space $5,678,900 $0.00Gamma Mix of open areas and shelving areas $2,525,960 $0.00You have calculated estimates of annual cash flows and average annual income from customers for each of the three contractors' plans. You believe that the annual cash flows will be equal for each of the 10 years for which you are preparing your capital investment analysis. Your conclusions are presented below. Proposal Estimated Average Annual Income Estimated Average (after depreciation) Annual Cash FlowAlpha $302,054 $351,145Beta $272,019 $475,608Gamma $626,564 $704,490You begin by trying to eliminate any proposals that are not yielding the company’s minimum required rate of return of 20%. Complete the table below, and decide whether Alpha, Beta, and/or Gamma should be eliminated because the average rate of return of their project is less than the company's minimum required rate of return. Complete the table below. Enter the average rates of return as percentages rounded to two decimal places. Proposal Annual Income Average InvestmentAverage Rate of ReturnAccept or Reject?

(05.04 mc) a 2012 report from the u.s. surgeon general stated: "another common practice is strategically locating tobacco-related marketing materials where young children will be exposed to them. tobacco industry executives acknowledge that products and advertising should be placed at eye level (pollay 2007), but in california, 48% of stores had at least one cigarette marketing item at or below 3 feet from the floor (feighery et al. 2001)." it was also noted that 25% of cigarette displays were next to candy. in addition, a national study found that about one-third of the stores had tobacco ads at low heights. after california banned counter displays, some stores place cigarettes in transparent displays so product brands could still be seen. why did some stores use transparent units to display the cigarettes? (3 points) to comply with the new rules while still encouraging cigarette purchases via visual exposure to ensure children and minors are not exposed to cigarettes and their eye-catching packaging to minimize exposure to humidity, extending the shelf life of the cigarettes' tobacco to reduce the occurrence of shoplifting, since cigarettes are high-revenue items
