If you use a cutoff period of 3 years, which projects would you accept? Project A Project B Project C Project A and Project B Project B and Project C Project A and Project C Projects A, B, and C None d-1. If the opportunity cost of capital is 9%, calculate the NPV for projects A, B, and C. (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) Project NPV A $ B $ C $ d-2. Which projects have positive NPVs? Project A Project B Project C Project A and Project B Project B and Project C Project A and Project C Projects A, B, and C None e.
