Use the following information to answer the next three questions.
Consider the cash flows from two mutually exclusive projects:
Year Project A Project B
0 -$420,000 -$420,000
1 $140,000 $400,000
2 $230,000 $110,000
3 $331,000 $140,000
The appropriate discount rate is 8.5%.
1. Calculate the net present value (NPV) for both projects, and determine which project should be accepted based on NPV. Round both NPVs to the nearest dollar.
2. Calculate the internal rate of return (IRR) for both projects, and determine which project should be accepted based on IRR.
3. Calculate the net present value (NPV) for both projects using the crossover rate as your discount rate. Round both NPVs to the nearest dollar.
