The initial cost to get the business running with a September 1st launch date would be $2,000. You estimate that the revenues would approximately offset your costs (e.g. paper, toner, etc.) in the first month of operation so that the monthly profit would be $0. Afterwards, you estimate that profits would increase by $80 each month until the end of the academic year (i.e. $80 profit in October, $160 profit in November, etc. until the end of April). Your annual MARR is 10%, compounded monthly. (a) Calculate the internal rate of return for your investment based on an 8 months study period. Select the appropriate IRR between options 1 to 4 below. (b) Suppose that you now consider another investment opportunity for your printing business services, also with monthly profits, and the internal rate of return of 3%. Is this alternative economically feasible based on IRR?arrow_forward
