Problem 16-19A (Algo) Using net present value and internal rate of return to evaluate investment opportunities LO 16 - 2, 16 - 3

Problem 16-19A (Algo) Using net present value and internal rate of return to evaluate investment opportunities LO 16-2, 16-3 Dwight Donovan, the president of Perez Enterprises, is considering two investment opportunities. Because of limited resources, he will be able to invest in only one of them. Project A is to purchase a machine that will enable factory automation, the machine is expected to have a useful life of four years and no salvage value. Project B supports a training program that will improve the skills of employees operating the current equipment Initial cash expenditures for Project A are $103,000 and for Project Bare $39,000. The annual expected cash inflows are $35,350 for Project A and $13,938 for Project B. Both investments are expected to provide cash flow benefits for the next four years. Perez Enterprises' desired rate of return is 4 percent. (PV of $1 and PVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) Required a. Compute the net present value of each project. Which project should be adopted based on the net present value approach? b. Compute the approximate internal rate of return of each project. Which one should be adopted based on the internal rate of return approach? Required a. Compute the net present value of each project. Which project should be adopted based on the net present value approach? b. Compute the approximate internal rate of return of each project. Which one should be adopted based on the internal rate of return approach? Complete this question by entering your answers in the tabs below. Required A Required B Compute the net present value of each project. Which project should be adopted based on the net present value approach? (Round your final answers to 2 decimal places.)
