(b)
Compute the net present value of each project. (Enter negative amounts using either a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -45 or parentheses e.g. (45). Round final answers to the nearest whole dollar, e.g. 5,275. For calculation purposes, use 5 decimal places as displayed in the factor table provided.)
