Management requires an 8% rate of return on its investments. (PV of $1, FV of $1, PVA of $1, and FVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) Required: 1. Compute each projects net present value. 2. Compute each projects profitability index. 3. If the company can choose only one project, which should it choose, based on profitability index?

• Required 1
• Required 2
• Required 3

Compute each projects net present value. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your present value factor to 4 decimals and your final answers to the nearest whole dollar.)

Project A
Chart values are based on:
n =	6
i =	8%
Select Chart	Amount	x	PV Factor	=	Present Value
				=	$0
Net present value
Project B
Chart values are based on:
n =
i =
Select Chart	Amount	x	PV Factor	=	Present Value
				=	$0
Net present value

Compute each projects profitability index. (Do not round intermediate values. Enter your answers rounded to the nearest whole dollar.)

Profitability Index
	Numerator:	/	Denominator:
		/		=	Profitability index
Project A					0
Project B					0
