1.) Samsunge Electronics has a required payback period of three years for all of its projects. Currently, the firm is analyzing two independent projects. Project A has an expected payback period of 4 years and a net present value of $6,800. Project B has an expected payback period of 2 years with a net present value of $28,400. Which projects should be accepted based on the payback decision rule?

options:

Project A only

Project B only

Both A and B

Neither A nor B

2.) Blue Space X is comparing two mutually exclusive projects A and B. The crossover point is 10% percent. Blue Space X has determined that they should accept project A if the required return is 12 percent. This implies you should:

always accept project A

always accept project A if the required return exceeds the crossover rate

accept project B only when the required return is equal to the crossover rate

be indifferent to the projects at any discount rate above 10 percent
