John wants to invest $1 000 000. He has two options.
The first option is to buy government bonds that earn
4% annually. The second option is to buy an apartment
building that brings him $100 000 per year in revenues.
Compare the two options in terms of their internal rates

either 1 or 2). Calculations should be provided.
Are the investment decisions based solely on an estimate of a project's profitability?
