X-treme Vitamin Company is considering two investments, both of which cost $12,000. The cash flows are as follows:
Year | Project A | Project B | ||||
1 | $ | 13,000 | $ | 12,000 | ||
2 | 5,000 | 4,000 | ||||
3 | 6,000 | 11,000 | ||||
a-1. Calculate the payback period for Project A
and Project B. (Round your answers to 2 decimal
places.)
b-1. Calculate the net present value for
Project A and Project B. Assume a cost of capital of 8 percent.
(Do not round intermediate calculations and round your
final answers to 2 decimal places.)
