The model will acoomoodate five extra student per year. Additional information related to the project follows:Cost of the remodel project: $350,000
Useful life of project in years: 6
Annual number of extra students: 5
Annual tuition per student: $22,000
Before- tax incremental cost of a student: $2,000
Company's income tax rate: 20%
Required rate of return: 12%
Assuming a six- year time horizon, what is the internal rate of return of the remodeling project? Calculate using both present value factors and separately using Excel's IRR function. Please include formulas to show how you arrive at each solution!
