Mary, a project manager for ABC Ic., is reviewing a product quality improvement project.
She has determined that the project's Annual Worth of $3,396. for a period of 8 years.
She now has to calculate the IRR for the project but unfortunately she has lost some information about the cash flows.
She knows only that the project has:
a 8-year project life with an initial cost of $400,000.
a set of equal revenue cash flows occurred at the end of each year for 8 years, and
• MARR used for calculation the Annual Worth was 8%.
Find the annual revenue first and then calculate the IRR for the project = ?
O 14% < IRR (i*) < 15%
O 13% < IRR (i*) < 14%
O 10% < IRR (i*) < 11%
O 9% < IRR (i*) < 10%
O 8% < IRR (i*) < 9%
A tunnel to transport water initially cost $1,000,000 and has expected maintenance costs that will
occur in a 6-year cycle as shown below, assume MARR is 20% per year.
note (writ all numbers without rounding and without any units)
End of Year:
Maintenance:
$35,000 $35,000 $35,000 $45,000 $45,000 $60,000
Compute the Equivalent Annual Cost of the maintenance.
Hint: Don't insert the negative sign
Compute the Capitalized Cost?
Hint: Don't insert the negative sign
A new machine can be purchased today for $450,000. The annual revenue from the machine is calculated to be $72,000, and the equipment will last 10 years. Expect the maintenance and operating costs to be $4500 a year and to increase $750 per year. The salvage value of the machine will be $35,000. What is the rate of return for this machine?
