Given 2 (two-period) Jobs with the following cost and flows.
Job A: will cost $50,000 in year 1 and will yield $84,000 in year 2
Job B: will cost $80,000 in year 1 and will yield $120,000 in year 2
Dwight and James are looking at these 2 jobs and will make choices.
Job B looks more attractive by using simple arithmetic in a static world; but since these will occur in different periods, we know that the best way to evaluate each one is by getting the net present value of each job using each individual's discount rates.
James is a patient and hard-working individual while Dwight is a happy-go-lucky come what may surfer type.
a. Given 2 discount rates of 30% and 8% and knowing Dwight and James' personalities, assign the discount rate appropriate to each individual.
b. Solve for the NPVs of each Job for each individual. (Show your solution).
c. Based on the NPVs, which Job will Dwight pick and which Job will James pick?
d. Solve for the IRR (show your solution). What does this number (IRR) mean for Dwight or James when they are trying to choose between Jobs A or B?
Need detailed steps on how to solve with solutions FOR EACH PART

Consumers utility-maximizing bundle of goods
: A consumer's utility is given by U(X,Y)=X^0.25*Y^0.75. (To be clear, ^ denotes exponentiation, so the utility function is X to the 0.25 power multiplied by Y to the 0.75 power.) What is the number of units of good X in the consumer's utility-maximizi..

If an input constitutes a large fraction of total costs
: If firms can easily substitute another input for the one that has increased in price, there may be little increase in costs. If an input constitutes a large fraction of total costs, an increase in its price will raise costs significantly.
