The two mutually exclusive alternatives shown in the table are available (“do nothing” is also an option). If the MARR = 15% select the better alternativewith an incremental analysis using the IRR method. Given: IRRA = 24.7% and IRRB = 16.6%. State your assumptions.
Two projects, A and B, are analyzed using ranking present worth analysis with MARR at i%. It is found that PW(A) > PW(B). If MARR is changed to (i + 1)%, what will be the relationship between PW(A) and PW(B)? a. PW(A) > PW(B) b. PW(A) = PW(B) c. PW(A) < PW(B) d. Cannot be determined without the cash flow profiles.
Hydro Ottawa has two options for upgrading a natural gas power station to meet new government standards. Option 1: Hydro Ottawa will make the upgrades themselves. This is expected to cost $12,700 at the end of each month for 12 years. At the end of the operation (in 12 years) Hydro Ottawa expects to sell all equipment needed for the upgrade for $122,000. Option 2: Pay experienced contractors. This will cost $28,000 up front and $13,900 monthly (at the end of every month) for 15 years. Assume all interest is 3.72% compounded monthly. Round the answers to NPV (Option 1), and NPV (Option 2) to the nearest dollar. Round all other answers to two decimal places where applicable. 1) Find the net present value of option 1: P/Y = C/Y = N = I/Y = PV = PMT= FV = Payments (Cost) GA % Sale of equipment (Residual) GA GA LA %
