U3 Company is considering three long-term capital investment proposals. Each investment has a useful life of 5 years. Relevant data on each project are as follows. Project Bono $171,200 Project Edge $187,250 Project Clayton $202,000 Capital investment Annual net income: Year 1 2 3 14,980 14,980 14,980 14,980 14,980 $74,900 19,260 18,190 17,120 12,840 9,630 $77,040 28,890 24,610 22,470 13,910 12,840 $102,720 4 5 Total Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method with no salvage value. The company's cost of capital is 15%. (Assume that cash flows occur evenly throughout the year.) Click here to view PV table. Compute the cash payback period for each project. (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 10.50.) Project Bono years Project Edge years Project Clayton years Compute the net present value for each project. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 125. If the net present value is negative, use either a negative sign preceding the number eg -45 or parentheses eg (45). For calculation purposes, use 5 decimal places as displayed in the factor table provided.)
