Economics EngineeringQuick in the exam please A project is economically feasible if:O a. Its external rate of return is less than the minimum attractive rate of returnO b. Its internal rate of return is equal to its external rate of returnO c. Its external rate of return is equal to the minimum attractive rate of returnO d. Its future worth is less than zeroO e. Its external rate of return is greater than 0 Five alternatives (A, B, C, D, and E) are compared. The present worth (PW) and internal rate of return (IRR)values for these alternatives are ($1,500, 13.42%) for A; ($570, 12.85%) for B; ($1,300, 11.91%) for C; ($2,300, 12.54%)for D; and ($2,950, 12.95%) for E. Alternative A has the lowest capital investment, followed by B, C, D, and then E. Ifthe alternatives are mutually exclusive, which one should be selected when the minimum attractive rate ofreturn (MARR) is 10%?O a. Alternative BO b. Alternative AO C. Alternative DO d. Alternative CO e. Alternative E

You are given the cash flow series for two projects, Alt. A and Alt. B. YEAR 1 2 3 4 5 6 Alt. A - F1 X X X + S1 Alt. B - F2 Y Y Y Y Y Y + S2 Assume that F2 > F1, and X, Y, S1, and S2 are positive; the incremental rate of return (i*) on the additional investment in Alt. B can be calculated with the following expression: = - = - = - · F2 + Y (P/A, i*, 6) + S2(P/F, i*, 6) (F2 F1) + (Y - X)(P/A, i*, 5) + (S2 - S1)(P/F, i*, 6) (F2 F1)(F/P, i*, 6) + (Y - X)(F/A, i*, 6) + (S2 - S1) (F2 F1)+(Y - X) + (Y + S2) - (X + S1) 0 = (F1 F2)(F/P, i*, 6) + (X - Y)(F/A, i*, 6) + (S2-S1) == 0 = F1 + X(P/A, i*, 6) + S1(P/F, i*, 6) 0F2+Y(P/A, i*, 6) + S2(P/F, i*, 6) 0 = - 0 = - F1 + X(P/A, i*, 5) + S1(P/F, i*, 6) F2+ Y(P/A, i*, 5) + S2(P/F, i*, 6)

in building their plant, the officers of the international leather company had the choice between alternatives: one alternative is to build in metro manila where the plant would cost p2,000,000. labor would cost annually p120,000 and annual overhead p40,000. taxes and insurance would total 5% of the first cost of the plant. the second alternative would be to build in bulacan a plant costing p2,250,000. labor would cost annually p100,000 and overhead would be p55,000. taxes and insurance would total 3% of the first cost. the cost of raw materials would be the same in either plant. if capital must be recovered within 10 years and money is worth at least 20%, which site should the officers of the company choose?
