5.1Your uncle has almost convinced you to invest in his peach farm. It would require a $10,000 initial investment on your part. He promises you revenue (before expenses) of $1,800 per year the first year, and increasing by $100/year thereafter. Your share of the estimated annual expenses is $500. You figure you would invest for 6 years. Your uncle has promised to buy out your share of the business at that time for $12,000 (at which point you would use it to buy a new car). You have decided to set a personal MARR of 15% per year. Evaluate the investment using the AW method (show entire AW calculation). Use the AW to calculate the PW. AW (15%) = -$10,000(A/P, 15%, 6) + 12,000(A/F, 15%, 6) + (1800- 500)(P/F, 15%, 1) + [1300 + 100(A/G, 15, 5) = -$2642 + 1370.4 + 1130.48 + [1300 + 172.28] = 1331.16 PW (15%) = 1300 (P/A, 15%, 6) + 100(P/A, 15%, 5) + 12000(P/F, 15%, 6) 10,000 = 442.67

Calculate the IRR for this investment using linear interpolation. State what your final decision should be. Be sure to set up correctly and to bracket the IRR within 5%. PW (15%) = 1300 (P/A, 15%, 6) + 100(P/A, 15%, 5) + 12000(P/F, 15%, 6) 10,000 = 442.67 PW (20%) = 1300 (P/A, 20%, 6) + 100(P/A, 20%, 5) + 12000(P/F, 20%, 6) 10,000 = -1358.00 Line BA = Line dA Line BC Line de 20% - 15%/ 442.67 (-1358.99) = i% - 15%/ 442.67 0 5%/ 1801.66 = i% - 15%/ 442.67 442.67(5%) = 1801.66(i% - 15%) 292.37 = 1801.66i i = 16.22 %
