Consider the following cash flows on two mutually exclusive projects for the B.C. Recreation Corporation (BCRC). Both projects require an annual return of 14 percent.

Year Deepwater Fishing New Submarine Ride
0 $750,000 $2,100,000
1 310,000 1,200,000
2 430,000 760,000
3 330,000 850,000

As a financial analyst for BCRC, you are asked to answer the following questions:

a-1. Calculate the IRR for both projects. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round the answer to 2 decimal places.)

IRR
