If that project's discount rate rises to 12 per cent, the capital recovery factor becomes 0.13388 and the ratio falls to about

  • A.1.12
  • B.1.87
  • C.0.93
  • D.1.23

Answer: C

Correct answer: 0.93

\[ \mathrm{annual\ cost} = 2{,}000{,}000 \times 0.13388 = 267{,}760, \qquad \frac{250{,}000}{267{,}760} = 0.93. \] At 8 per cent the same project gave 1.23 and was acceptable; at 12 per cent it fails. Nothing about the project has changed - only the rate - which is why the discount rate is so often the decisive assumption.
