Question:

The Boston Culinary Institute is evaluating a classroom remodeling project. The cost of the remodel will be $350,000 and will be depreciated over six years using the straight-line method. The remodeled room will accommodate five extra students per year. Each student pays annual tuition of $22,000. The before-tax incremental cost of a student (e.g., the cost of food prepared and consumed by a student) is $2,000 per year. The company’s tax rate is 20 percent, and the company requires a 12 percent rate of return on the remodeling project.

Assuming a six-year time horizon, what is the internal rate of return of the remodeling project? Should the company invest in the remodel?
