Exercise 11-18 (Algo) Net present value, unequal cash flows, and internal rate of return LO P3, P4 Phoenix Company is considering investments in projects C1 and C2. Both require an initial investment of $324,000 and would yield the following annual net cash flows. (PV of $1, FV of $1, PVA of $1, and FVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) Net cash flows Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Totals Project C1 $ 44,000 140,000 200,000 Project C2 $ 128,000 128,000 128,000 $ 384,000 $ 384,000 a. The company requires a 8% return from its investments. Compute net present values using factors from Table B.1 in Appendix B to determine which projects, if any, should be accepted. b.
