Project A will cost $455,089, has an expected useful life of 13 years, a salvage value of zero, and is expected to increase net annual cash flows by $71,900. Project B will cost $295,434, has an expected useful life of 13 years, a salvage value of zero, and is expected to increase net annual cash flows by $48,800. A discount rate of 10% is appropriate for both projects.Compute the net present value and profitability index of each project. Which project should be accepted? (If the net present value is negative, use either a negative sign preceding the number eg -45 or parentheses eg (45). Round computations and final answer for present value to 0 decimal places, e.g. 125 and profitability index to 2 decimal places, e.g. 10.50.

3.Caine Bottling Corporation is considering the purchase of a new bottling machine. The machine would cost $183,122 and has an estimated useful life of 8 years with zero salvage value.

Management also believes that the new bottling machine will save the company money because it is expected to be more reliable than other machines, and thus will reduce downtime. Assume a discount rate of 11%.
