Company is considering two capital investments. The estimated income
from operations and net cash flows from each investment are as follows:

 

Each project requires an investment of $75,000. Straight-line
depreciation will be used, and no residual value is expected. The
committee has selected a rate of 12% for purposes of the net present
value analysis.

Instructions
1. Compute the following:
a. The average rate of return for each investment. Round to one
decimal place.
b. The net present value for each investment. Use the present value
of $1 table appearing in this chapter (Exhibit 2). Round present values to the nearest dollar.
