Henkel Company is considering three long-term capital investment proposals. Each investment has a useful life of 5 years. Relevant data on each project are as follows.

		Project Kilo		Project Lima		Project Oscar
Capital investment		$166,000		$178,000		$204,000
Annual net income:
Year 1		14,420		18,540		27,810
2		14,420		17,510		23,690
3		14,420		16,480		21,630
4		14,420		12,360		13,390
5		14,420		9,270		12,360
Total		$72,100		$74,160		$98,880

Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method with no salvage value. The companys cost of capital is 15%. (Assume that cash flows occur evenly throughout the year.)

1. Compute the cash payback period for each project. (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 10.50.)

2. Compute the net present value for each project. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 125. If the net present value is negative, use either a negative sign preceding the number eg -45 or parentheses eg (45). For calculation purposes, use 5 decimal places as displayed in the factor table provided.)

3. Compute the annual rate of return for each project. (Hint: Use average annual net income in your computation.) (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 10.50.)

4. rank the projects on each of the foregoing bases. which project do you recommend?
