Chapter 5, Problem 34P
The required investment cost of a new, large shopping center is $50 million. The salvage value of the project is estimated to be $20 million (the value of the land). The project’s life is 15 years and the annual operating expenses are estimated to be $15 million. The MARR for such projects is 20% per year. What must the minimum annual revenue be to make the shopping center a worthwhile venture? (5.5)

A company predicts they will make $1,321 per year over the next 19 years if they spend $2,497 on a machine (an asset with multi-year use). If the MARR is 16.0%, how much is this investment worth per year?
6-25. Using an interest rate of 5%, compare the
annual worth of two projects: Project A with an
initial cost of $120,000 and annual returns of $35,000 for
five years and Project B with an initial cost of $100,000
and annual returns of $30,000 for six years. (6.5)
A company purchase a piece of manufacturing equipment for an additional income. The expected income is $3,300 per semester.
Its useful life is 9 years. Expenses are estimated to be $500 semiannually. If the purchase price is $44,000 and there is a salvage
value of $4,500, what is the prospective rate of return (IRR) of this investment? The MARR is 10% compounded semiannually.
Oa. IRR 6.02% semiannual
Ob. IRR=4% semiannual
Oc. IRR = 396 semiannual
Od. IRR 6.23% semiannual
