Sandhill Company is considering two different, mutually exclusive capital expenditure proposals. Project A will cost $$542,000,$ has an expected useful life of $12$ years and a salvage value of zero, and is expected to increase net annual cash flows by $$74,500.$ Project $B$ will cost $$338,000,$ has an expected useful life of $12$ years and a salvage value of zero, and is expected to increase net annual cash flows by $$48,000.$ A discount rate of $7\%$ is appropriate for both projects.

Compute the net present value and profitability index of each project. $($If the net present value is negative, use either a negative sign preceding the number eg $-45$ or parentheses eg $(45).$ Round present value answers to $0$ decimal places, e$.$g$.125$ and profitability index answers to $2$ decimal places, e$.$g$.15\mathrm{.}25.$ For calculation purposes, use $5$ decimal places as displayed in the factor table provided.$)$
