IBM is considering an environmentally conscious green building at one of its new production facilities. The company will decide among three different green designs for the facility, and each of the final mutually exclusive concepts for the facility results in different costs and savings. These threeconcepts are summarized below. IBM uses 10% per year as its profitability benchmark (hurdle rate) for such comparisons. Which facility concept should be selected?

True Falsearrow_forwardA public utility in a medium-size city is considering two cash rebate programs to achieve water conservation. Program 1, which is expected to cost an average of $60 per household, provides a rebate of 75% of the purchase and installation costs of an ultra-low-flush toilet ($100 max). This program is projected to achieve a 5% reduction in overall household water use over a 5-year evaluation period. This will benefit the citizenry to the extent of $1.25 per household per month. Program 2 involves turf replacement with xeric (low water need) landscaping. The program is expected to cost $500 per household, but it will result in reduced water cost estimated at $8 per household per month (on the average).
