Question

The management of Advanced Alternative Power Inc. is considering two capital investment projects. The estimated net cash flows from each project are as follows:

Year	Wind Turbines	Biofuel Equipment
1	$280,000	$500,000
2	280,000	500,000
3	280,000	500,000
4	280,000	500,000

The wind turbines require an investment of $850,360, while the biofuel equipment requires an investment of $1,427,500. No residual value is expected from either project.

10	7.360	6.145	5.650	5.019	4.192

Required:

1a. Compute the net present value for each project. Use a rate of 10% and the present value of an annuity of $1 in the table above. If required, use the minus sign to indicate a negative net present value. If required, round to the nearest whole dollar.

2. Determine the internal rate of return for each project by (a) computing a present value factor for an annuity of $1 and (b) using the present value of an annuity of $1 in the table above. If required, round your present value factor answers to three decimal places and internal rate of return to the nearest whole percent.
