![Compute the (1) net present value, (2) profitability index, and (3) internal rate of return for each option. (Hint: To solve for internal
rate of return, experiment with alternative discount rates to arrive at a net present value of zero.) (If the net present value is
negative, use either a negative sign preceding the number eg-45 or parentheses eg (45). Round answers for present value and IRR to O
decimal places, e.g. 125 and round profitability index to 2 decimal places, e.g. 12.50. For calculation purposes, use 5 decimal places as
displayed in the factor table provided.)
