Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 60P
- a. Calculate the
IRR for each of the three cash-flow diagrams that follow. Use EOY zero for (i) and EOY four for (ii) and (iii) as the reference points in time. What can you conclude about “reference year shift’ and “proportionality” issues of the IRR method? - b. Calculate the PW at MARR = 10% per year at EOY zero for (i) and (ii) and EOY four for (i) and (iii). How do the IRR and PW methods compare?

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. (note: round your answer to the nearest cent, and do not include spaces, currency signs, plus or minus signs, or commas)
The rate of return for the following cash flow is closest to:

You will deposit money into a bank account according to the following schedule:
Today
4 year from today
6 years from today
8 years from today
12 years from today
$182,000
$78,000

After 12 years from today, what will be the purchasing power of the money in
your bank account, expressed in today's dollars?. You bank pays interest at 7.000%
per year, compounded annually. Inflation is expected to be 4.520% per year.
