In the case illustrated in the question, the form of market failure that is taking place occurs in the nature of the exchange, which is due to bounded rationality. It is defined as condition commonly occurring in individuals where decision-making is based on making a satisfactory solution instead of an optimal one – this leads to irrational behaviors.

Answer:
12%
Explanation:
initial investment $367,402
net cash flows 1 - 7 = $80,500
the IRR is the interest rate at which NPV = 0
we can calculate it by using Exhibit 13B-2 (present value of annuity in arrears)
$367,402 = $80,500 x present value of 7 year annuity in arrears
- present value of 7 year annuity in arrears at 14% = 4.288
- present value of 7 year annuity in arrears at 12% = 4.564
- present value of 7 year annuity in arrears at 8% = 5.206
with 14% ⇒ $80,500 x 4.288 = $345,184
with 12% ⇒ $80,500 x 4.564 = $367,402 CORRECT ANSWER
with 8% ⇒ $80,500 x 5.206 = $419,083
