(PV of $1 and PVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) Required a. Compute the net present value of each opportunity. Which should Mr Kearns adopt based on the net present value approach? b. Compute the payback period for each opportunity which should Mr. Kearns adopt based on the payback approach?
