5. QuizCo would like to use the IRR method to choose between projects A and B below. QuizCo's MARR is 10%. Each project lasts 5 years. (a) Calculate the IRR for each project. Check with Excel using the IRR function, the rate function, and Goal Seek. Include the Excel output in your Assignment. (b) Calculate the incremental IRR. (c) Which project should be selected based on incremental IRR? Project First Cost Annual Savings 12,000 13,000 A 3450 3700

Using a required rate of return equal to 10 percent, compute the modified internal rate of return (MIRR) for a project that costs $80,000 and is expected to generate $33,000, $66,000, and -$10,950, respectively, during the next three years. Should the project be purchased? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places. The project -Select- (should, should not) be purchase because the MIRR, that is %, is -Select- (greater than, lower than, equal to) the required rate of return.

The company you work for is evaluating projects to upgrade their information management systems. Two projects under consideration are an upgrade of the account management system with an IRR of 8% and an upgrade of the resource management system with an IRR of 5%. If the discount rate is actually 6%, which project should the company undertake?

Consider these mutually exclusive alternatives. MARR = 8% per year, so all the alternatives are acceptable. Solve, a. At the end of their useful lives, alternatives A and C will be replaced with identical replacements (the repeatability assumption) so that a 20-year service requirement (study period) is met. Which alternative should be chosen and why? b. Now suppose that at the end of their useful lives, alternatives A and C will be replaced with replacement alternatives having an 8% internal rate of return. Which alternative should be chosen and why?
