The investment committee of Sentry Insurance Co. is evaluating two projects, office expansion and upgrade to computer servers. The projects have different useful lives, but each requires an investment of $490,000. The estimated net cash flows from each project are as follows: Year 1 2 Year 3 4 5 The committee has selected a rate of 12% for purposes of net present value analysis. It also estimates that the residual value at the end of each project's useful life is $0, but at the end of the fourth year, the office expansion's residual value would be $180,000. 6 7 8 9 10 1 1 2 3 2 4 5 6 3 0.943 0.890 0.840 Present Value of $1 at Compound Interest 6% 10% 12% 0.792 0.747 0.705 0.665 0.627 0.592 0.558 Net Cash Flows Office Expansion $125,000 125,000 125,000 125,000 125,000 125,000 0.943 1.833 2.673 0.909 0.826 0.751 0.683 0.621 0.564 0.513 0.467 0.424 0.386 Net Cash Flows Servers $165,000 165,000 165,000 165,000 0.909 1.736 2.487 0.893 0.797 0.712 0.636 0.567 0.507 0.452 0.404 0.361 0.322…
