(NPV, PI, and IRR calculations) You are considering two independent projects, project A and project B. The initial cash outlay associated with project A is $60,000, and the initial cash outlay associated with project B is $80,000. The required rate of return on both projects is 9 percent. The expected annual free cash inflows from each project are in the popup window: E. Calculate the NPV, PI, and IRR for each project and indicate if the project should be accepted. a. What is the NPV of project A? $(Round to the nearest cent.) What is the NPV of project B? $(Round to the nearest cent.) Based on the NPV criterion, project A should be accepted because its NPV is positive and project B should be rejected because its NPV is negative (Select from the drop-down menus.) b. What is the PI of project A? (Round to three decimal places.) What is the PI of project B? (Round to three decimal places.) Based on the P/ criterion, project A should be because its Plis than 1.00 and project B should be because its Plis than 1,00. (Select from the drop-down menus.) c. What is the IRR of project A? % (Round to two decimal places.) What is the IRR of project B? % (Round to two decimal places.) v because its /RR is Based on the IRR criterion, project A should be menus.) than the expected rate of return and project B should be because its IRR is than the expected rate of return.
