Required information [The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] Most Company has an opportunity to invest in one of two new projects. Project Y requires a $315,000 investment for new machinery with a four-year life and no salvage value. Project Z requires a $315,000 investment for new machinery with a three-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.)

Determine each project's payback period. Project Y Project Z Payback Period Choose Numerator: Choose Denominator: Payback Period 1 = = Payback period 0 0 3. Compute each project's accounting rate of return. Accounting Rate of Return Project Y Project Z Choose Numerator: Choose Denominator: Accounting Rate of Return = Accounting rate of return 0 0 4. Determine each project's net present value using 9% as the discount rate. Assume that cash flows occur at each year-end. (Round your intermediate calculations.) Project Y Chart values are based on: Select Chart Net present value Project Z Chart values are based on: Select Chart Net present value n = i = Amount X PV Factor = n = Present Value = $ 0 Amount X PV Factor = Present Value = $
