**Cash Flow Evaluation for Projects**

Your division is considering two projects with the following cash flows (in millions):

| Year | 0     | 1     | 2    | 3    |
|------|-------|-------|------|------|
| Project A | $-16  | $7    | $9   | $10  |
| Project B | $-26  | $14   | $20  | $11  |

### Tasks:

**a. Net Present Value (NPV) Calculations**
Calculate the projects' NPVs for the given Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) rates. Enter your answers in millions. For example, an answer of $10,550,000 should be entered as 10.55. Negative values, if any, should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.

1. **NPV with a WACC of 5%**
   - Project A: \_\_\_\_ million
   - Project B: \_\_\_\_ million

2. **NPV with a WACC of 10%**
   - Project A: \_\_\_\_ million
   - Project B: \_\_\_\_ million

3. **NPV with a WACC of 15%**
   - Project A: \_\_\_\_ million
   - Project B: \_\_\_\_ million

**b. Internal Rate of Return (IRR) Calculations**
Determine the projects' IRRs for the given WACC values. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.

1. **IRR with a WACC of 5%**
   - Project A: \_\_\_\_ %
   - Project B: \_\_\_\_ %

2. **IRR with a WACC of 10%**
   - Project A: \_\_\_\_ %
   - Project B: \_\_\_\_ %

3. **IRR with a WACC of 15%**
   - Project A: \_\_\_\_ %
   - Project B: \_\_\_\_ %

These calculations will help in understanding which project provides a better return on investment by measuring the NPV and IRR at different discount rates.
