Project 22A $240,500 $16,880 6 years 23A 272,700 20,620 9 years 24A 280,500 15,700 7 years

Explanation / Answer

Project 22A: Annual Cash flows = 16880+(240500/6)= $56963.33 PV factor for Internal rate of return = 4.22201 Internal rate of return = 11% Project 23A: Annual Cash flows = 20620+(272700/9)= $56963.33 PV factor for Internal rate of return = 5.35546 Internal rate of return = 12% Project 24A: Annual Cash flows = 15700+(280500/7)= $56963.33 PV factor for Internal rate of return = 5.02946 Internal rate of return = 9%
