The following cash flows result from a potential construction project for your company:
Receipts of $545,000 at the start of the contract and $1,200,000 at the end of the fourth year
Expenditures at the end of the first year of $400,000 and at the end of the second year of $900,000
A net cash flow of $0 at the end of the third year.
Using an appropriate rate of return method (Approximate ERR), for a MARR of 20%, should your company accept this project (Perform all calculations using 5 significant figures and round your answer to one decimal place. )
What is the approximate ERR for this project? %
Should your company undertake this project?
Why is it okay to use Incremental IRR between two same life projects that has different first cost and annual cash flow even when MARR is not given / stated ?
The Department of Energy is proposing new rules mandating either a 20% increase or a 35% increase in clothes washer efficiency in 3 years. The 20% increase is expected to add $100 to the current price of a washer, while the 35% increase will add $240 to the price. If the cost for energy is $80 per year with the 20% increase in efficiency and $65 per year with the 35% increase, which one of the two proposed standards is more economical on the basis of a future worth analysis at an interest rate of 10% per year? Assume a 15-year life for all washer models.
