Phoenix Company can invest in each of three cheese-making projects: C1, C2, and C3. Each project requires an initial investment of $288,000 and would yield the following annual cash flows. (PV of $1, FV of $1, PVA of $1, and FVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor (s) from the tables provided.) C1 C2 C3 Year 1 $ 32,000 $ 116,000 $ 200,000 Year 2 128,000 116,000 80,000 Year 3 188,000 116,000 68,000 Totals $ 348,000 $ 348,000 $ 348,000 (1) Assume that the company requires a 9% return from its investments. Using net present value, determine which projects, if any, should be acquired. (Negative net present values should be indicated with a minus sign. Round your answers to the nearest whole dollar.)

    Only projects C2 and C3 should be carried out since their net present value is positive ($5,630 and $15,329 respectively). While project C1 should be rejected because its NPV is negative.

    Explanation:

    C1 C2 C3

    initial investment - $288,000 - $288,000 - $288,000

    cash flow 1 $32,000 $116,000 $200,000

    cash flow 2 $128,000 $116,000 $80,000

    cash flow 3 $188,000 $116,000 $68,000

    total $348,000 $348,000 $348,000

    required rate of return = 9%

    NPV - $5,737 $5,630 $15,329

    NPV C1 = - $288,000 + $32,000/1.09 + $128,000/1.09² + $188,000/1.09³ = - $5,737

    NPV C2 = - $288,000 + $116,000/1.09 + $116,000/1.09² + $116,000/1.09³ = $5,630

    NPV C3 = - $288,000 + $200,000/1.09 + $80,000/1.09² + $68,000/1.09³ = $15,329
