Phoenix Company can invest in each of three cheese-making projects: C1, C2, and C3. Each project requires an initial investment of $300,000 and would yield the following annual cash flows. (PV of $1, FV of $1, PVA of $1, and FVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)

C1 C2 C3 Year 1 $ 36,000 $ 120,000 $ 204,000 Year 2 132,000 120,000 84,000 Year 3 192,000 120,000 72,000 Totals $ 360,000 $ 360,000 $ 360,000

1. Assume that the company requires a 9% return from its investments. Using net present value, determine which projects, if any, should be acquired.

2. Using the answer from part 1, is the internal rate of return higher or lower than 9% for Project C2?

Project C2 Initial Investment Year Cash Inflow X PV Factor Present Value = 2 3 = 0Project C3 Initial Investment Year Cash Inflow X PV Factor Present Value 2 0Required 1 Required 2 Assume that the company requires a 9% return from its investments. Using net present value, determine which projects, if. any, should be acquired. [Negative net present values should be indicated with a minus Sign. Round Your present value factor to 4 decimals. Round your answers to the nearest whole dollar.)
