Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 1P
Tennessee Tool Works (TTW) is considering investment in five independent projects,
Any profitable combination of them is feasible.
TTW has$50million available to invest, and these funds are currently earning 7% interest annually from municipal bonds. If the funds available are limited to $50 million, what is TTW’s MARR that is implied by this particular situation? (5.2)
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
Selection of the project.
Explanation of Solution
The firm has limited investment. It can select the project that give more profit rate in order to maximize the profit. Thus, the firm can select the project A, E and D. The MARR for the firm is equal the best return of the rejected projects. Since the best return from the rejected project is 12%, the firm’s MARR is 12%.

12. A Solar Sea Power Plant (SSPP) is being considered in a North American location
known for its high temperature ocean surface and its much lower ocean temperature 100
meters below the surface. Power can be produced based on this temperature differential.
With high costs of fossil fuels, this particular SSPP may be economically attractive to
investors. For an initial investment of $100 million, annual net revenues are estimated to
be $15 million in years 1-5 and $20 million in years 6–20. Assume no residual market
value for the SSPP.
a. What is the simple payback period for the SSPP?
b. What is the discounted payback period when the MARR is

- Peter got a 8-year assignment in Argentina. Consequently, he will rent out his three-bedroom house in Hancock to an old friend, and given their friendship, Peter only requires end of the year payments (thus no monthly pmts) to be deposited in a savings account created solely for this purpose. Rental income will be 13,709 dollars per year but maintenance/repair costs will be 503 dollars in the first year and thereafter increase by 213 dollars per year. The tenant will be doing the maintenance/repair operations and therefore, at the end of each year, deposits the annual rent amount net of maintenance costs. Compute how much money will Peter have in his savings account upon his return (8 years from now) given that the proxy interest rate is 7% per year, compounded annually.
