Assume that they hire a housekeeper one time per week for $120; that the $7500 is received in uniform amounts of $625 per month; and, that the housekeeper is paid weekly with these payments made before the $625 is received.

- An indium-gallium-arsenide-nitrogen alloy developed at Sandia National Laboratory is said to have potential uses in electricity-generating solar cells. The new material is expected to have a longer life, and it is believed to have a 40% efficiency rate, which is nearly twice that of standard silicon solar cells. The useful life of a telecommunications satellite could be extended from 10 to 15 years by using the new solar cells. What rate of return could be realized if an extra investment now of $900,000 would result in extra revenues of $450,000 in year 11, $500,000 in year 12, and amounts increasing by $50,000 per year through year 15?

Heating and cooling bills will be about 50% less than in a similar wood-frame home in Vermont. An ICF home will be approximately 10% more expensive to construct than a wood-frame home. A typical 2,000 square-foot home costs $120 per square foot to build with wood framing in Vermont and costs $200 per month (on average) to heat or cool.What is the IRR on the incremental investment in an equivalent-sized ICF home?
