The three projects are: a) Expected cash inflows, after deducting all expected cash outflows, are K120, 000 per annum. b) Expected cash inflows, after deducting all expected cash outflows, are K90, 000 per annum. c) Expected cash inflows, after deducting all expected cash outflows, are K80, 000 in year 1, K140, 000 in year 2 and K160, 000 in year 3. You are required to calculate for each project the payback period, the ARR, NPV and IRR. and to discuss why the results from NPV and IRR calculations may sometimes be incompatible with each other. The cost of capital is 10% for the business. A transport company has three potential projects planned. Each will require investment in two refrigerated vehicles at a total cost of K240,000.
