To sustain a high growth rate, HFGC's CEO argues that the company must continue to invest in projects that offer the highest rate of return possible. Two projects are currently under review. The first is an expansion of the firm's production capacity, and the second project involves introducing one of the firm's products into a new market. Cash flows from each project appear in the following table: Year Plant expansion Product introduction 0 -4,000,000 -500,000 1 2,000,000 375,000 2 2,000,000 350,000 3 3,000,000 400,000 4 3,000,000…
