True or false: You are better off spreading your 10-year $80,000,000 contract so that
in the first five years you get $60,000,000 spread evenly and the remaining $
20,000,000 in the final five years as opposed to doing it the other way round where
you get the $20,000,000 in the first five years (rate of return remains fixed at 7 %)?
Use Excel to calculate this. (Excel) True Or False
Suppose you invest $3,000 today and receive $10,000 in 25 years.
a. What is the internal rate of return (IRR) of this opportunity?
b. Suppose another investment opportunity also requires $3,000 upfront, but pays an equal amount at the end of each year for the next 25 years. If this investment has the same IRR as the first one, what is the
amount you will receive each year?

The IRR of this opportunity is%. (Round to two decimal places.)
b. Suppose another investment opportunity also requires $3,000 upfront, but pays an equal amount at the end of each year for the next 25 years. If this investment has the same IRR as the first one, what is the
amount you will receive each year?
The periodic payment that gives the same IRR is $
(Round to the nearest cent.)
