Year Project A Yr 0 is 100000, Yr 1 30000, Yr 2 is 25,000 Yr 3 is 30000 and Yr 4 is 35,000. For Project B the cash flows are: Yr 0 is 100,000, Yr 1 is 30,000, Yr 2 is 15,000, Yr 3 is 80,000 and Yr 4 is 55,000. Calculate the NPV, IRR and Payback time for both projects.

ABC is also considering a project that has a forecasted sales revenue of $30,000 and is estimated to grow by 5% every year over the life of the project which is 3 years. The initial equipment cost for the project is $50,000 and will be depreciated using the MACRS method over its 5 year life. The equipment could be sold for $5,000 at the end of year 3. The MACRS rates are (20% ,32%, 19.2%, 11.52%,11.52% and 5.76%). The marginal tax rate is 40%, and their cost of capital is 10%. Calculate the project's NPV, and IRR..
