Two machines are being considered for purchase. If the MARR (for this problem, also the minimum required interest rate) is 10%, which machine should be bought?
A junior PM determines the present worth of a project to be $56,417. He misplaced the full set of calculations but knows that the project lasts 5 years with a first cost of $180,000, and a set of equal cash flows at the end of each year. MARR used was 10%. What is the IRR for this project?
Economics Two alternative water purification systems are considered to meet the drinking water needs in Canada. The data of the two alternatives are given in the table below.

Littrell's Nursery needs a new irrigation system. System one will cost $145,000, have annual maintenance costs of $10,000, and need an overhaul at the end of year six costing $30,000. System two will have first year maintenance costs of $5,000 with increases of $500 each year thereafter. System two would not require an overhaul. Both systems will have no salvage value after 12 years. If Littrell's cost of capital is 4%, using annual worth analysis determine the maximum Littrell's should be willing to pay for system two.
