2. Compute for the payback period of each project and explain your answer. Which project will you choose and why? Show solution. A company has to decide between three possible projects. Capital cost for Project A is P300,000; Project B P500,000 and Project C P450,000 respectively. Net Cash inflow of each project are as follows: Net cash inflow in pesos Project A Project B Project C Year 1 75, 000 100, 000 50, 000 Year 2 125, 000 200, 000 75, 000 Year 3 125, 000 300, 000 250, 000 Year 4 100, 000 300, 000 300, 000 Year 5 75, 000 150, 000 200, 000 Payback period - Project A Payback period - Project B.

A firm evaluates all of its projects by applying the IRR rule. A project under consideration has the following cash flows: -$25,000 today (t=0); $11,000 after one year (t=1), 17,000 after two years (t=2); and 10,000 after three years (t=3). What is the Internal Rate of Return (“IRR”) for this project?
