Professor Wendy Smith has been offered the following​
opportunity: A law firm would like to retain her for an upfront
payment of $50,000. In​ return, for the next year, the firm would
have access to eight hours of her time every month. As an
alternative payment​ arrangement, the firm would pay Professor​
Smith's hourly rate for the eight hours each month.​ Smith's rate
is $555 per hour and her opportunity cost of capital is 15% per
year. What does the IRR rule advise regarding the payment​
arrangement? (Hint: Find the monthly rate that will yield an
effective annual rate of 15% ​.) What about the NPV​ rule?
