Management requires an 8% rate of return on its investments. (PV of $1, FV of $1, PVA of $1, and FVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) Required: 1. Compute each project's net present value. 2. Compute each project's profitability index. 3. If the company can choose only one project, which should it choose, based on profitability index? Complete this question by entering your answers in the tabs below. Required 1 Required 2 Required 3 Compute each project's net present value. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your present value factor to 4 decimals and your final answers to the nearest whole dollar.) Project A Net Cash Flows X Present Value of Annuity at 8% Present Value of Net Cash Flows Years 1-6 $ 76,000 x = $ 0 Net present value Project B Net Cash Flows X Present Value of Annuity at 8% Years 1-7 = $ EA Net present value Present Value of Net Cash Flows 0 < Required 1 Required 2 > Rowan Company is considering two alternative investment projects.
