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.
Consider the following investment opportunity:
Capital Investment (End of Year 0)
Expenses (per year)
Revenues (geometric series)
$450,000
$25,000
$60,000 in the first year,
increasing 5% per year
following
Market value (End of Year 20)
Study Period (years)
MARR (per year)
$90,000

At least one project, but no more than three, must be selected.4. The following selection restrictions apply to specific projects: • Project 4 can be selected only if project 1 is selected.• Projects 1 and 2 are duplicative; don’t select both.• Projects 8 and 4 are also duplicative.• Project 7 requires that project 2 also be selected.
