Answer:
Project A Project B
Initial investments ($170,000) ($115,000)
CF Year 1 $42,500 $34,500
CF Year 2 $58,500 $52,500
CF Year 3 $82,795 $68,500
CF Year 4 $92,900 $68,500
CF Year 5 $67,500 $68,500
using an excel spreadsheet and the IRR function, the internal rate of return of each project is:
- Project A's IRR = 26.02%
- Project B's IRR = 36.31%
We can use the discount rate (12%) to calculate the projects' NPV, we do not need it to calculate their IRR:
- Project A's NPV = $70,855
- Project B's NPV = $88,815
Answer:

A grant refers to an amount of money that is financial assistance thats given by the government or an organization to an individual or firm for a specific purpose. A grant is different from a loan as it isn't meant to be paid back.
Government award grants for the development of technologies, community projects, home insulation etc.
With regards to the question, a government – sponsored grants for the private development of new technologies may result in a lower national debt when the government makes the initial development private thereby saving the government from funding all of the research.
Answer:
4.76%
Explanation:
The requirement in this question is determining the discount rate which gives the same present value in both cases since discount rates discount future cash flows to present value terms.
PV of a pertuity=annual cash flow/discount rate
PV of a pertuity=$17,000/r
PV of ordinary annuity=annual cash flow*(1-(1+r)^-n/r
PV of ordinary annuity=$30,000*(1-(1+r)^-18/r
$17,000/r=$30,000*(1-(1+r)^-18/r
multiply boths side by r
17000=30,000*(1-(1+r)^-18
divide both sides by 30000
17000/30000=1-(1+r)^-18
0.566666667=1-(1+r)^-18
by rearraging the equation we have the below
(1+r)^-18=1-0.566666667
(1+r)^-18=0.433333333
divide indices on both sides by -18
1+r=(0.433333333)^(1/-18)
1+r=1.047554315
r=1.047554315-1
r=4.76%
