FW3 = 3000(F/P,15%,2) + 15,000(F/P,15%,1)
= 3000(1.3225) + 15,000(1.1500)
= $21,218
Find i′ at which PW0 is equivalent to FW3
-10,757(F/P,i′,3) = 21,218
i' = (21,218/10,757)1/3 -1
= 0.254 (25.4% per year)
(b) By MIRR with ib = 10% and ii = 30%
i' = 31.7% per year

equal to i* rate of 28.6% per year.
Hand solution:
Step 1: F0 = -65 F0 < 0; use i″
Step 2: Set F4 = 0 and solve for i″ by trial and error.
Solve by quadratic equation, trial and error, or spreadsheet
Spreadsheet solution: Using the format and functions of Figure 7-13, i″ = 26.62%.

7.61 Answer is (c)
7.66 I/quarter = 20,000(0.07)/4
7.69 0 = 1,000,000 – 20,000(P/A,i*,24) – 1,000,000(P/F,i*,24)
7.70 0 = -60,000 + 10,000(P/A,i*,10)
7.72 i* = 4500/50,000 = 0.09 (9% per year)
7.74 PW0 = -40,000 – 29,000(P/F,8%,2)
