1. Refer to Figures 1 through 3. Add up the total increase in
after-tax income for each project. Given what you know about Kay
Marsh, to which project do you think she will be attracted?
2. Compute the payback period, net present value (NPV),
Profitability Index of all four alternatives based on cash flow.
Use 10 % the required rate of return (discount rate) in your
calculations. For the payback method, merely indicate the year in
which the cash flow equals or exceeds the initial investment. You
do not have to compute midyear points.
