Exercise 10-10A (Algo) Using the internal rate of return to compare investment opportunities LO 10-3
Velma and Keota (V&K) is a partnership that owns a small company. It is considering two alternative investment opportunities. The first investment opportunity will have a three-year useful life, will cost $8,922.67, and will generate expected cash inflows of $3,400 per year. The second investment is expected to have a useful life of three years, will cost $7,989.00, and will generate expected cash inflows of $3,100 per year. Assume that V&K has the funds available to accept only one of the opportunities. (PV of $1 and PVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)
Required
Calculate the internal rate of return of each investment opportunity. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Based on the internal rates of return, which opportunity should V&K select?

QUESTION THREE
As the investment manager, you are faced with the problem of choosing between two investment projects (X and Y). Each project costs ¢40,000, but investment X pays ¢25,000 for first year, 10,000 for the second year and 15,000 for the third year. Investment Y pays ¢15,000 for first year, 25,000 for second year and 10,000 for third year. If your required return is 10% per annum, which of the two projects will you choose and why?
