1. Calculate the Payback period for both of these projects. Assume the projects are mutually exclusive, which project, if any would you accept? Briefly explain your answer. (6 points)
2. Calculate the Profitability Index for both of these projects. Assume the projects are mutually exclusive, which project, if any, would you accept? Briefly explain your answer. (6 points)
3. Calculate IRR for both of these projects. IRR doesnt work with mutually exclusive projects so treat them as independent. Which project, if any, would you accept? Briefly explain your answer. (6 points)
4. Calculate the NPV for both of these projects. Assume the projects are mutually exclusive. Which project, if any, would you choose? Briefly explain your answer. (6 points)
5. Based on all of the information, which project would you choose. Briefly explain your answer. (4 points)
