Consider the following two mutually exclusive projects:

Year	Cash Flow (A)				Cash Flow (B)
0	$	549,000			$	107,000
1		144,000				62,000
2		164,000				41,000
3		84,000				38,500
4		504,000				33,600

Whichever project you choose, if any, you require a 15% return on your investment.

a-1. What is the payback period for each project? (Round the final answers to 2 decimal places.)

	Payback Period
Project A	years
Project B	years

a-2. If you apply the payback criterion, which investment will you choose?

multiple choice 1

• Project A

• Project B

b-1. What is the discounted payback period for each project? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round the final answers to 2 decimal places.)

	Discounted Payback Period
Project A	years
Project B	years

b-2. If you apply the discounted payback criterion, which investment will you choose?

multiple choice 2

• Project A

• Project B

c-1. What is the NPV for each project? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round the final answers to 2 decimal places. Omit $ sign in your response.)

Project B	$

c-2. If you apply the NPV criterion, which investment will you choose?

multiple choice 3

• Project A
