Determine each projects net present value using 9% as the discount rate. Assume that cash flows occur at each year-end.

Most Company has an opportunity to invest in one of two new projects. Project Y requires a $325,000 investment for new machinery with a six-year life and no salvage value. Project Z requires a $325,000 investment for new machinery with a five-year life and no salvage value. The two projects yield the following predicted annual results. The company uses straight-line depreciation, and cash flows occur evenly throughout each year. (PV of $1, FV of $1, PVA of $1, and FVA of $1 ) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)

Compute each project's annual expected net cash flows. Project Y Project Z 2. Determine each project's payback period.
