Assume that the company requires a 9% return from its investments. Using net present value, determine which projects, if any. should be acquired. 2. Using the answer from part 1, is the internal rate of return higher or lower than 9% for Project C2? Required 1 Required 2 Assume that the company requires a 9% return from its investments. Using net present value, determine which projects, if any, should be acquired. (Negative net present values should be indicated with a minus sign. Round your present value factor to 4 decimals. Round your answers to the nearest whole dollar.) Project C1 Initial Investment Chart Values are Based on: Year Cash Inflow X PV Factor Present Value Project C2 Initial Investment Year Cash Inflow X PV Factor = Present Value Project C3 Initial Investment Year Cash Inflow X PV Factor = Present Value 11 2 Required 1 Required 2 Using the answer from part 1, is the internal rate of return higher or lower than 9% for Project C2? Is the internal rate of return higher or lower than 9% for Project C2?
