After government subsidies, the capital investment for the well is $732,000, and the geothermal well will reduce natural gas consumption for steam and hot water production by $60,000 per year. The salvage value of the well is negligible. The simple payback period for this well is 13 years. If the MARR of the town is 5% per year and the life of the geothermal well is 23 years, what is the IRR for this project? Choose the closest answer below. A. The IRR for the project is 6.1% per year.

Almost anything derived from oil can be made out of lignin. The question is "can we do it cost-effectively and consistently?" A startup company has developed a process to derive plastics, carbon fiber and other advanced materials from lignin. The cash flow diagram for this process is shown below (in $ millions). If the company's hurdle rate (MARR) is 15% per year, is this a profitable undertaking? Click the icon to view the diagram for cash flows.
