What are the Flaws in Project Ranking by IRR?
Ali is a Planning engineer considered the following three mutually exclusive investment projects (A, B, and C) at PTUK. He summarized the relevant data provided for these projects as; for project A, the initial investment is -200 , annual return is 22 and the salvage value is 200. For project B, the initial investment is -4000, salvage value is 2600 and the annual return is 620. For project C, the initial investment is -5450, annual retum is 740 and salvage value is 4300. The useful life for these projects is similar which is 5 years, and MARR=10% .
Which alternatives are feasible based on their ROR.
Sunbelt Corporation, an investment company, is considering building a 50 unit student
apartment complex in a growing area near BIUST, in Palapye. Since the long-term
growth potential of the town is excellent, it is believed that the company could average
85% full occupancy for the complex each year. If the following financial data are
reasonably accurate estimates, determine the minimum monthly rent that should be
charged if a 15% rate of return is desired:
Land investment cost = P1 000 000
Building investment cost = P15 000 000
Annual upkeep cost = P150 000
Property taxes and insurance = 5% of total initial investment
Study period = 25 years
Salvage value = only land cost can be recovered in full
Insert your answer to 2 decimal places with no units.

Minimizing the use of fossil fuels and instead resorting to renewable sources of energy (e.g., solar energy) are vital to a "sustainable" lifestyle and a lower carbon footprint. Let's consider solar panels that prewarm the water fed to a conventional home water heater. The solar panels have an installed cost of $3000 and they reduce the homeowner's energy bill by $30 per month. The residual value of the solar panels is negligible at the end of their 10-year life.

The firm can earn a bonus of up to $1,000,000 based on how much the on-time performance actually improves. It's current (baseline) on-time performance is 90%. The company typically completes approximately 1,000 orders per month, with approximately 100 orders delayed. The bonus payment is prorated according to the following criteria: · The on-time performance improvement is calculated based on a reduction in late events or an improvement in on-time performance. · No bonus is earned for the first 25% reduction in late events, say from 100 to 75. Maximum bonus is earned once Parts-R-Us achieves 95% on-time performance. Please answer the following: Write down a formula to determine the total bonus amount to be received Using your formula, show how much bonus would be paid if Parts-R-Us achieves 94% on-time performance.arrow_forwardRequired information A process for producing the mosquito repellant Deet has an initial investment of $205,000 with annual costs of $53,000.
