Use the net present value method to determine whether Stuebs Products should invest in the following projects:

- Project A: Costs \(\$ 275,000\) and offers eight annual net cash inflows of \(\$ 55,000\). Stuebs Products requires an annual return of \(14 \%\) on projects like A.

- Project B: Costs \(\$ 380,000\) and offers nine annual net cash inflows of \(\$ 72,000\). Stuebs Products demands an annual return of \(12 \%\) on investments of this nature.

What is the net present value of each project? What is the maximum acceptable price to pay for each project?
