Keller wishes to use a net present value profile in comparing the projects. The investment and cash flow patterns are as follows: Use Appendix B for an approximate answer but calculate your final answer using the formula and financial calculator methods.

     

     

Determine the net present value of the projects based on a zero percent discount rate.

     

     

Determine the net present value of the projects based on a discount rate of 11 percent. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

     

  

If the projects are not mutually exclusive, which project(s) would you accept if the discount rate is 11 percent?
