Answer:

Both projects should be rejected

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:

For project A,

Cash flow in year zero = $75,000

Cash flow in year one = $18,500

Cash flow in year two = $42,900

Cash flow in year three = $28,600

IRR = 9.12%

For project B,

Cash flow in year zero = $-72,000

Cash flow in year one = $22,000

Cash flow in year two = $38,000

Cash flow in year three = $26,500

IRR = 9.48%

The decision rule on if to invest or not is if IRR > r

For both investments IRR is less than rate of return

9.12% < 10.50%

9.48% < 10.50%

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 the compute button.

Alina [70]

Answer:

a. The annual capital cost is $9,798

b. The equivalent annual savings is $27,495

c. The decision is wise

Explanation:

a. In order to calculate the annual capital cost (ownership cost) for the equipment we would have to calculate the following formula:

annual capital cost=P(A/P,i,n)-F(A/F,i,n).........

annual capital cost=$65,000(A/P,9%,10)-$5,000(A/F,9%,10)

=$65,000(0.1558)-$5,000(0.0658)

=$10,127-$329

=$9,798

b. In order to calculate the equivalent annual savings (revenues) we would have to calculate the following formula:

equivalent annual savings=A+G(A/G,i,n).........

equivalent annual savings=$18,000+$2,500(A/G,9%,10)

=$18,000+$2,500(3.798)

=$18,000+$9,495

=$27,495

c. The decision is wise becauste the equivalent annual savings are greater than the annual costs of the equipment.

Amiraneli [1.4K]

You can amortize the cost of the closing points for a period equal to the length of the mortgage loan (or up to 30 years if the length of the loan is longer).
