A computer call center is going to replace all of its incandescent lamps with more energy efficient fluorescent lighting fixtures. The total energy savings are estimated to be $2,137 per year, and the cost of purchasing and installing the fluorescent fixtures is $5,500. The study period is four years, and terminal market values for the fixtures are negligible.

The simple payback period of the investment is 3 years. (Round up to the next whole number.) c. Select all the correct assumptions below. A. The IRR will signal an acceptable (profitable) project if the MARR is higher than 20.3%. B. The IRR will signal an acceptable (profitable) project if the MARR is less than 20.3%. C. The value of may indicate the best project in terms of liquidity. D. The value of 0 may indicate a poor project in terms of liquidity. d. The simple payback "rate of return", 110, is 133.3%.
