RR appears to be more sensitive to lower gas

nes owing to the slope being steeper for the
lower price section

hus the business is expected to deliver more

cceptable return. The IRR of 7.9% is greater
ation rate of 6.2% which is favourable and is
avings interest rate you would achieve in a
savings account
