Amount to be invested	fill in the blank 2
Net present value	$fill in the blank 3

b. Based on the analysis prepared in part (a), is the rate of return (1) more than 15%, (2) 15%, or (3) less than 15%?

more than 15%less than 15%equal to 15%

c. Determine the internal rate of return by computing a present value factor for an annuity of $1 and using the table of the present value of an annuity of $1 presented above. In your calculation, round the net present value factor to three decimal places. fill in the blank 5 %
