Chapter 9, #9

Consider the following two mutually exclusive projects:

Year	Cash Flow (A)				Cash Flow (B)
0	$	349,000			$	49,000
1		46,000				24,100
2		66,000				22,100
3		66,000				19,600
4		441,000				14,700

Whichever project you choose, if any, you require a 16 percent return on your investment.

a-1	What is the payback period for each project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

	Payback period
Project A	years
Project B	years

a-2

If you apply the payback criterion, which investment will you choose?

	Project A
	Project B

b-1	What is the discounted payback period for each project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

	Discounted payback period
Project A	years
Project B	years

b-2

If you apply the discounted payback criterion, which investment will you choose?

	Project A
	Project B

c-1	What is the NPV for each project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
