The rate of return, compounding annually for the last 4 years (the period from year 7 to the end of year 10) has not been defined yet.   Required: Compute the effective annual interest rate (EAR) in the first 6 years in Option 2?  Compute the annually compounding rate of return you should target for your asset in the following 4 years to get $150, 000 at the end of year ten in Option 2?

You are deciding between two mutually exclusive investment opportunities. Both require the same initial investment of $10 million. Investment A will generate $2 million per year (starting at the end of the first year) in perpetuity. Investment B will generate $1.5 million at the end of the first year and its revenues will grow at 2% per year for every year after that.             a. Which investment has the higher IRR?             b. Which investment has the higher NPV when the cost of capital is 7%?             c. In this case, when does picking the higher IRR give the correct answer as to                which investment is the better opportunity?
