The required return on these investments is 12 percent.
a. What is the payback period for each project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Payback period Project A years Project B years
b. What is the NPV for each project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Net present value Project A $ Project B $
c. What is the IRR for each project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Internal rate of return Project A $ Project B $
