    The discount rate should Honest Abe's use if it considers a project that involves the manufacturing of furniture is 12.46%

    Explanation:

    In this question, w e use the Capital Asset Pricing model method, which is shown below:

    Expected return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta * market risk premium

    = 3.5% + 1.12 * 8%

    = 3.5% + 8.96%

    = 12.46%

    In this we use the Integral design beta not the Honest Abe beta
