Babson thinks that projects should be selected based on their NPVs. Assume all cash flows occur at the end of the year except for initial investment amounts. Calculate the NPV for each project. Ignore income taxes. Which projects, if any, would you recommend funding? Briefly explain why. 3. b. Calculate the payback period for each of the three projects. Ignore income taxes. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) 2.5 years Project A Project B Project C 2.6 years 1.76 years Using the payback method, which project(s) should Andrews choose? Project C Requirement 2. Calculate the NPV for each project. Ignore income taxes. (Round your answers to the nearest whole dollar. Use parentheses or a minus sign for negative net present values.) The NPV of Project A is
