Consider the following two mutually exclusive alternatives for reclaiming a deteriorating inner-city neighborhood (one of them m

ust be chosen). Notice that the IRR for both alternatives is 27.19%.

b. If MARR is 15% per year, which alternative is better?
c. What is the IRR on the incremental cash flow [i.e., ∆(Y − X)]?

Answer:

a) alternative Y should be chosen

b) alternative Y, because its NPV is higher

c) 27.19%

d) alternative X, because its NPV is only -$463 (alternative Y's NPV = - $727)

e) alternative X = 1.98 years

alternative Y = 2.49 years

f) alternative Y because its NPV is much higher when MARR = 15%, and when MARR increased to 27.5%, the difference between both projects' NPV was very small.

Explanation:

a and b)

NPV of alternative X = -$100,000 + $50,000/1.15 + $51,000/1.15² + $60,000/1.15³ = -$100,000 + $43,478 + $38,563 + $39,451 = $21,492

NPV of alternative Y = -$100,000 + $205,760/1.15³ = $35,291

c)

incremental cash flows:

-$50,000

-$51,000

$145,760

TIR = 27.19%

d)

NPV of alternative X = -$100,000 + $50,000/1.275 + $51,000/1.275² + $60,000/1.275³ = -$100,000 + $39,216 + $31,373 + $28,948 = -$463

NPV of alternative Y = -$100,000 + $205,760/1.275³ = -$727

e)

alternative X ⇒ 1 year + ($50,000 / $51,000) = 1.98 years

alternative Y ⇒ 2 years + ($100,000 / $205,760) = 2.49 years

Answer:

illusion of control.

Explanation:

The illusion of control is the tendency for people to overestimate their ability to control events; for example, it occurs when someone feels a sense of control over outcomes that they demonstrably do not influence.

In the scenario, although Business has been consistently slow on Fridays in recent months, yet DeMarcus decides to continue with the extra staffing.

This is obviously a case of illusion because he has no control over the external business environment and there is no logical reason to continue with extra staffing.
