Answer:

IRR = 8%

Don't accept the project

Explanation:

The internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested.

IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator:

Cash flow in year 0 = -9,187,846.67

Cash flow each year from year 1 to 11 = 1287000

IRR = 8%

Because the IRR is less than the hurdle rate, the project shouldn't be accepted.

To find the IRR using a financial calacutor:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.

Answer:

a) IRR

IRR = 9%

b)

Since the IRR is less than the hurdle rate , the project should be rejected. An IRR with higher than the hurdle rate implies that the project would decrase the wealth of ths shareholders

Explanation:

IRR = a% + ( NPVa/(NPVa + NPVb)× (b-a)%

NPV = PV of annual savings - initial cost

PV of annual savings = A× (1- (1+r)^(-n) )/r

A- annual savings in operating cost , r- rate of return, n- number of years

NPVa

PV of annual savings = 1,287,000 × (1- 1.15^(-11))/0.15=  6,735,787.15  

NPV = 6,735,787.15   - 9,187,846.67.= 2,452,059.52  

NPVb

PV of annual savings  =  (1,287,000 × (1- 1.03^(-11))/0.03=11908127.23

NPV b = 11908127.23 -9187846.67 =2720280.564

IRR = 3% + ( 2720280.564 /(2720280.564 +2,452,059.52) )× (15-3)%

IRR = 9%

Since the IRR is less than the hurdle rate , the project should be rejected. An IRR with higher than the hurdle rate implies that the project would decrase the wealth of ths shareholders

Propound on why a library is said to be the memory of the human race?
Sonja [21]
Let's look at the phrase "<span>the memory of the human race?".

Memories are usually belonging to one specific human, and stored in their brain. The human race doesn't literally have a memory, so this must be  a metaphor.

This metaphor might mean what the human race, as a total, can remember and have access to.

So just like we remember what happened last Tuesday, the human race can find the information in a library about what happened in 1912- in this way, a library and a memory are similar, so a library is truly a memory of the human race.
