Army Research Laboratory scientists developed a diffusion-enhanced adhesion process which is ex­pected to significantly improve the performance of multifunction hybrid composites. NASA engineers estimate that composites made using the new pro­cess will result in savings in space exploration projects. The cash flows for one project are esti­mated. Determine the rate of return per year.


0 = -210 – 150(P/F,i*,1) + [100(P/A,i*,4) + 60(P/G,i*,4)](P/F,i*,1)



Solve by trial and error or spreadsheet



i* = 24.7% per year
