 A firm evaluates all of its projects by applying the NPV decision rule. A project under consideration has the following cash flows:  | 
| Year | Cash Flow | ||
| 0 | –$ | 27,400 | |
| 1 | 11,400 | ||
| 2 | 14,400 | ||
| 3 | 10,400 | ||
| 
 What is the NPV for the project if the required return is 12 percent? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)  | 
| NPV | $ | 
| At a required return of 12 percent, should the firm accept this project? | ||||
  | 
| 
 What is the NPV for the project if the required return is 24 percent? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)  | 
| NPV | $ | 
| At a required return of 24 percent, should the firm accept this project? | ||||
