The Titanic Shipbuilding Company has a noncancelable contract to
build a small cargo vessel. Construction involves a cash outlay of
$270,000 at the end of each of the next two years. At the end of
the third year the company will receive payment of $638,000. Assume
the IRR of this option exceeds the cost of capital.
The company can speed up construction by working an extra shift. In
this case there will be a cash outlay of $590,000 at the end of the
first year followed by a cash payment of $638,000 at the end of the

opportunity costs of capital at which the company should work the
extra shift. (Enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2
decimal places. Enter the smallest percent first.)
