A total of $150,000 was invested in two different projects identified as A1 and 82. If the overall rate of return on the $150,000 was 25% and the rate of retum on the $30,000 invested in A1 was 15%, what was the rate of retum on B2? 2.75% 27.5% 72.7% 36.4%

Calculate the B/C ratio (modified) of a building that houses students during their classroom discussion. Theaccommodation equates to P525,000 annually. However, the annual maintenance is P135,000. Its constructioncosts for about 2.3 M. If sold 20 years from its first operating year, it will amount to P250,000. Take MARR = 15% Please solve using economics formula.
When the country’s economy is expanding, AB Investment Company is optimistic and expects a MARR of 15% on new investments. However, in a receding economy the expected return is 8%. Normally a 10% per year return is anticipated. An expanding economy causes the estimates of project life to go down about 20%, and a receding economy causes the life values to increase about 10%. Additionally, the market value after the project’s life varies widely; optimistically, it may be as high as 50% more or as low as 75% of the initial investment. (a) Summarize the optimistic, most likely, and pessimistic estimates in tabular form. (b) Use a spreadsheet to calculate and plot the sensitivity of PW versus (1) MARR, (2) life values, and (3) market value for possible investment in one of two locations. Use the most likely estimates for the other parameters. (c) Considering all the analyses, under which scenario, if any, should location Miami or Houston be rejected? All monetary values are in $1000 units.…
The government of a subtropical country is evaluating the costs and benefits of protecting a rainforest versus cutting it down for timber. The estimated value of the wood is $270$⁢270 million. If the same forest is used as a national park, it may attract 0.030.03 million additional tourists per year. Statistically, each tourist spends $1,600$⁢1,600 inside the country during their stay.How long will it take tourism to exceed the estimated value of the wood in the rainforest? Enter your answer in the box below and round to two decimal places if necessary.

For the operation of part R-193, two operations are being considered. The capital investment associated with each operation is identical. Each completed part can be sold at Php 7 per part. Operation 1 produces 2,000 parts per hour. After each hour, the tooling must be adjusted by the machine operator. The adjustment takes 20 minutes. The machine operator for Operation 1 is paid Php350 per hour. Operation 2 produces 1,300 parts per hour, but the tooling needs to be adjusted by the operator only once every two hours. The adjustment takes 30 minutes. The machine operator for Operation 2 is paid Php 192.5 per hour. Assume an 8-hour work day. Further assume all parts produced can be sold. Should operation 1 or Operation 2 be recommended?
Nowadays it is very important to reduce one's carbon "footprint" (how much carbon we produce in our daily lifestyles). 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 $2,198, and they reduce the homeowner's energy bill by $28.5 per month. The residual value of the solar panels is negligible at the end of their 8-year life. What is the annual effective IRR of this investment? The annual effective IRR of this investment is %. (Round to two decimal places.)

Consider the two mutually exclusive projects described in the table below. (Note: Each part of the question requires a written answer.) a) Assuming 9% minimum attractive rate of return (MARR), should either of the two projects be accepted? Why? b) Assuming 16% MARR, should either of the two projects be accepted? Why? c) For any positive value of the MARR, divide the possible MARR values into ranges with different decisions; describe and discuss what decision would be made in each range and why. You will need to calculate the crossover rate to determine the precise MARR where the decision changes. Include an NPV profile table and chart to illustrate your answer.

Q2 Mega Holding is a contractor company specialise in bridge construction. The company has been offered two projects to construct a bridge at two different locations. However, based on its capability, the company can only accept one project at a time. A cost estimation has been made in order to decide which project should be undertaken and the cost factors relating to the two projects are shown in Table Q2. Table Q2 COST FACTORS Concrete beams and columns needed Equipment rental (per month) Site investigation Labour cost: 6 Design engineer (ii) Field/construction engineer PROJECT A 6 beams, 12 columns RM 1,000 RM 40,636 PROJECT B 8 beams, 16 columns RM 2,500 RM 30,848 RM 150 per hour RM 100 per hour RM 130 per hour RM 90 per hour The design phase for both projects take 3 months and the construction phase take 9 months which in total of 12 months are needed to complete each project (with 6 working days per week and 8 working hours per day). The volume for each beam and column are 500 m…
Despite their aesthetic landscaping, ease of access and generous parking, out-of-town business parks have not turned out to be the attractive proposition that speculative developers had hoped. Their polished appearance and spaciousness have failed to compensate for limited provision of basic infrastructure such as shops, banks and leisure facilities as less scrupulous developers reneged on earlier promises or struggled with cash flow problems and other difficulties. It is thought that an expansion of hehe working, relying on advanced communication systems and technology, would make visits to smaller head offices situated in the heart of town centres more acceptable. The continued popularity of business parks will be reinforced by new technology. Remember to base your answers only on the information given in the passage. True False Cannot Say
