Using the discounted payback method, you determine that the project should generate inflows of $30,000, $30,000, $25,000, $20,000, and $20,000 respectively for an expected five years after completion of the project. Your firm's require rate of return is 10%. How long will it take to pay back the initial project investment?

As we sаw in the reаdings fоr week 1 оf this clаss, the Supreme Cоurt – in NFIB v. OSHA decided earlier this year – struck down an emergency rule the Department of Labor had issued to address Covid19. More specifically, the Department of Labor's emergency rule had required that all employers with at least 100 employees must "ensure their workforces are fully vaccinated or show a negative test at least once a week." The Court found that this rule was unlawful – not because it was unconstitutional, but rather because the Department of Labor could only issue it if doing so was authorized by a federal statute – and, the Court said, that wasn't the case. In the year 2024, Congress reacts to the Supreme Court's ruling in NFIB v. OSHA by enacting a new law passed by both houses of Congress and signed into law by the President. This new statute is designed to empower the Department of Labor and other federal government agencies to respond to future pandemics by imposing a vaccination requirement on workplaces it says are subject to Congress's commerce clause powers. In fact, Congress goes further. Its statute – the Pandemic Emergency Action Powers Act (PEAPA) - contains the following three sets of measures: First, in order to ensure that even small businesses are covered by public health requirements, PEAPA specifies that when the Secretary of Labor finds "any part of the United States is experiencing a pandemic caused by a virus," the Secretary "shall require any employer with at least 15 employees to ensure that that workforce is fully vaccinated (with a vaccine approved by the FDA for preventing transmission of the virus)" or show weekly negative tests where the employer reasonably determines that such weekly tests would reduce the risk of viral transmission to a similar extent as requiring vaccination. Second, PEAPA empowers the Secretary of Labor to determine whether masking would substantially reduce the risk of viral transmission during a pandemic and – where the Secretary does so – to issue an order requiring that employers take steps to assure that employers, employees, customers, and others present in a business establishment's indoor environment wear masks or use other measures to reduce the risks of increased transmission of the virus (such as installing filters to reduce the presence of viruses). A different provision establishes a federal civil cause of action, allowing individuals to bring a lawsuit against businesses, other organizations, or individuals who have (i) knowingly interacted with the plaintiff under conditions that the Department of Health and Human Services has determined raise the risk of obtaining the virus above a certain threshold and (ii) while engaging in any activity that the plaintiff can show is occurs in interstate commerce or types of activities that have a substantial impact on interstate commerce. PEAPA's language note that such activities may include "any activities that, when considered in the aggregate, have such a substantial impact in interstate commerce, including taking actions toward a person that is likely to reduce their ability to engage in economic activity for extended periods." Third, because Congress is concerned by accounts that certain individuals have been threatened or physically attacked for taking actions to mitigate the spread of Covid 19, PEAPA imposes criminal and civil penalties on (i) any individual who threatens or physically assaults a public health care worker who is engaged in measures to address a pandemic, through medical treatment, public policy formulation, or education of the public and (ii) on any individual who threatens or physically assaults an employer, workers, or any other person in response to that person's efforts to comply with, or assure others' compliance with, the health-protection measures mandated in PEAPA. Congress includes these measures in what it describes as a "comprehensive framework for ensuring that America's response to future pandemic is as effective as possible at saving lives and reducing illness." Noting that the Covid-19 pandemic has cost "trillions of dollars" and had "massive repercussions for the American economy," it mandates numerous measures with the purpose of assuring that America is able to "minimize the harms that arise from future pandemics." Apart from the measures listed above, PEAPA also includes provisions that protect workers from being fired for taking measures to mitigate the risks from a pandemic and provisions that provide financial and other resources to better assure that "medical personnel responding to a pandemic, and others fulfilling a legal or professional obligation to respond to it, have the support needed to work effectively, and have government aid in reducing the health and other risks they face as they do so." When a future pandemic does arise in the United States again, various individuals bring a constitutional challenge to the various parts of PEAPA. Among those who challenge PEAPA's constitutionality are (i) the owners of a consulting firm, fitness center, and restaurant that each employs about 20 workers, (ii) some customers of these establishments who don't want to be required to wear masks, (iii) an individual defendant who has been sued under PEAPA for failing to wear a mask while protesting – and standing in close proximity to - a group of infectious disease specialists visiting the defendant's state to provide advice to businesses there, and (iv) individual defendant prosecuted for allegedly threatening public health workers and a restaurant owner who has recently adopted a vaccination mandate to comply with PEAPA. Please discuss the best arguments that you believe can be made for and against the conclusion that Congress has Commerce Clause power to take each of the three sets of measures in PEAPA discussed above (introduced with the words, "First," "Second," and "Third," in this fact pattern's description of the Pandemic Emergency Action Powers Act (PEAPA)). If you believe the strength of a particular argument would depend on facts not included in this fact pattern, please identify what questions you believe a court would have to address regarding those facts to address the commerce clause questions in this case. Please focus only on questions about Congress's Commerce Clause power to take the above measures and not on any other constitutional law questions or other legal questions one could raise above this statute. In doing so, please discuss not only whether such measures are within the Commerce Clause power itself, but also within the Congress's constitutional power to enact measures that are necessasy and proper to the exercise of Commerce Clause power.
