A small construction project having a useful life of 5 years has five mutually exclusive alternatives. With an MARR of 6% and using incremental IRR which alternative should be selected? Note: First solve for the IRR for each alternative. You may use a spreadsheet to iterate to solve, but solve for the IRR for Alternative II 'by hand' by iterating between the interest rate tables in the back of the book. Alternatives III $400 $90 Initial Cost Uniform Annual Benefit...
