Suppose your firm is considering investing in a project with the cash flows shown below, that the required rate of return on projects of this risk class is 8 percent, and that the maximum allowable payback and discounted payback statistics for the project are 3.5 and 4.5 years, respectively. Time: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 Cash flow: $5,000 $1,200 $2,400 $1,600 $1,600 $1,400 $1,200 Use the payback decision rule to evaluate this project. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Compute the payback statistic for Project A if the appropriate cost of capital is 9 percent and the maximum allowable payback period is four years. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Project A Time: 0 1 2 3 4 5 Cash flow: $2,400 $910 $900 $800 $580 $380
