1. Giving effect to straight-line depreciation on the investments and assuming no estimated residual value, compute the average rate of return for each of the four proposals. If required, round your answers to one decimal place. Proposal Average Rate of Return Proposal A % Proposal B % Proposal C % Proposal D % 2. Using the following format, summarize the results of your computations in parts (1) and (2) by placing the calculated amounts in the first two columns on the left and indicate which proposals should be accepted for further analysis and which should be rejected. If required, round your answers to one decimal place. Proposal Cash Payback Period Average Rate of Return A % B % C % D % 3. For the proposals accepted for further analysis in part (3), compute the net present value. Use a rate of 15% and the present value of $1 table above. Round to the nearest dollar.

![### Capital Rationing Policy Overview
The company's capital rationing policy mandates a maximum **cash payback period** of 3 years. Additionally, a minimum **average rate of return** of 10% is required for all projects. Upon meeting these criteria, the **net present value method** and **present value indexes** are then used to prioritize the remaining proposals.
### Present Value of $1 at Different Compound Interest Rates
The following table illustrates the present value of $1 at different compound interest rates (6%, 10%, 12%, 15%, and 20%) over a period of 10 years.
