You are considering two types of automobiles. Model A costs $18,000, andModel B costs $15,624.Although the two models are essentially the same, Model A can be sold for $9,000 after four years of use while Model B can be sold for $6,500 after the same amount of time. Model A commands a better resale value because its styling is popular among young college students. Determine the rate of return on the incremental investment of $2,376. For what range of values of your MARR is Model A preferable?
If alternative A has i * A = 10% and alternative B has i * B = 18% per year, what is known about the rate of return on the increment between A and B if the investment required in B is (a) larger than that required for A, and (b) smaller than that required for A?
A small construction company has $100,000 set aside in a capital improvement fund to purchase new equipment. If $30,000 is invested at 30%, $20,000 at 25%, and the remaining $50,000 at 20% per year, what is the overall rate of return on the entire $100,000?
