Ratling [72]

Answer:

B. the highest valued alternative that must be given up to engage in an activity.

Explanation:

Opportunity Cost is the cost of next best alternative foregone while choosing an alternative.

Eg1: If I like Chapati more than rice & rice more than curd, the opportunity cost of consuming chapati is the next best option i.e rice.

Eg2 : Working as school teacher with salary 20000, next best option salary as coaching tutor i.e 10000 is the Opportunity Cost

A is inapt : Opportunity cost can be monetary or non monetary. Eg2 has monetary opportunity cost. But, Eg 1 has opportunity cost in terms of rice' (sacrifised) satisfaction.

C is inapt : Opportunity cost is only the cost of next best alternative & not all alternatives. Eg1 - Curd i.e 3rd best option after chapati, is not the opportunity cost after chapati.

goblinko [34]

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
