As part of your role as a plant manager, you must study the profitability of 5 investment projects resulting from the head office continuous improvement program. For all of these projects, the minimum acceptable rate of return (MARR) before tax was set at 13%. The first project (A) has a duration of 5 years, requires an initial investment of $ 60,000, will have estimated benefits of $ 15,000 for the first year and then increase by 10% per year. No residual value is anticipated at the end of this project. The second project (B) has a duration of 7 years, requires an initial investment of $ 75,000, will have estimated benefits of $ 17,500 per year. No residual value is anticipated at the end of this project. The third project (C) has a duration of 3 years, requires an initial investment of $ 85,000, will have estimated benefits of $ 20,000 per year. A residual value of $ 50,000 is expected at the end of this project. The fourth project (D) has a duration of 10 years, requires an initial investment of $ 120,000, will have losses estimated at $ 40,000 for the first year and then reach profits of $ 30,000 for subsequent years. No residual value is anticipated at the end of this project. Finally, the fifth project (D) has a perpetual duration, requires an initial investment of $ 105,000, will have estimated benefits of $ 15,000 per year. No residual value is anticipated at the end of this project. For each of these projects, calculate the net present value this (NPV) and the internal rate of return (IRR).
