Question

The required return on these investments is 12 percent.

What is the payback period for each project? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).)

What is the NPV for each project? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).)

What is the IRR for each project? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answers as a percentage rounded to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).)

What is the profitability index for each project? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 3 decimal places (e.g., 32.161).)

Consider the following two mutually exclusive projects:
