MARR = 8%. Your consultancy business signs on with a new client. The client pays you $5000 up front as deposit toward future work. One year later the client makes another payment of $5000. The year after that you invest $16,000 into the project. The following year, in the third year, the client pays you the remaining balance of $5388. The project's precise ERR is within 0.5% of a) 12% b) 13% c) 4% d) 15% e) None of the above

In this method the annual cash flows under the alternative investments are converted into a constant cash flow stream whose NPV is equivalent to the NPV of the comparative project's Initial stream. Consider the case of Three Waters Boatbuilders: Three Waters Boatbuilders is considering a three-year project that has a weighted average cost of capital of 10% and a net present value (NPV) of $85,647. Three Waters Boatbuilders can replicate this project indefinitely. The equivalent annual annuity (EAA) for this project is The EAA approach to evaluating projects with unequal lives does not do a good job of taking inflation into account.arrow_forward
