Accountancy) program. The initial start-up costs for computing equipment, facilities, course
development, and staff recruitment and development are P350,000. The school plans to charge tuition

per student for the first 100 students enrolled each year for administrative costs and its share of the
tuition payments.

Question ENGINEERING ECONOMICS
You want to launch a printing services business on campus. The initial cost to get the business running with a September 1st launch date would be $2,000. You estimate that the revenues would approximately offset your costs (e.g. paper, toner, etc.) in the first month of operation so that the monthly profit would be $0. Afterwards, you estimate that profits would increase by $80 each month until the end of the academic year (i.e. $80 profit in October, $160 profit in November, etc. until the end of April). Your annual MARR is 10%, compounded monthly. (a) Calculate the internal rate of return for your investment based on an 8 months study period. Select the appropriate IRR between options 1 to 4 below. (b) Suppose that you now consider another investment opportunity for your printing business services, also with monthly profits, and the internal rate of return of 3%. Is this alternative economically feasible based on IRR?
