Chapter 5, Problem 47P
A company has the opportunity to take over a redevelopment project in an industrial area of a city. No immediate investment is required, but it must raze the existing buildings over a four-year period and, at the end of the fourth year, invest $2,400,000 for new construction. It will collect all revenues and pay all costs for a period of 10 years, at which time the entire project, and properties thereon, will revert to the city. The net cash flows are estimated to be as follows:
Tabulate the PW versus the interest rate and determine whether multiple IRRs exist. If so, use the ERR method when ∈ = 8% per year to determine a rate of retum. (5.7)

A large automobile manufacturer has developed a continuous variable transmission (CVT) that provides smooth shifting and enhances fuel efficiency by 2 mpg of gasoline. The extra cost of a CVT is $800 on the sticker price of a new car. For a particular model averaging 28 miles per gallon with the CVT, what is the cost of gasoline (dollars per gallon) that makes this option affordable when the buyer’s interest rate is 10% per year? The car will be driven 100,000 miles uniformly over an eight-year period.
What lump-sum amount of interest will be paid on a $20,000 loan that was made on May 1, 2020, and repaid on August 1, 2020, with ordinary simple interest at 10% per year?
