The company's cost of capital is 8%. Click here to view the factor table. (a) Compute the cash payback period and net present value of the proposed investment. (If the net present value is negative, use either a negative sign preceding the number eg - 45 or parentheses eg (45). Round answer for present value to 0 decimal places, e.g. 125. Round answer for Payback period to 1 decimal place, e.g. 10.5. For calculation purposes, use 5 decimal places as displayed in the factor table provided.)
