1. Calculate the net cash flow that should be used for each year in the discounted cash flow analysis.

3. Calculate the expected yield on the project using the discounted cash flow internal rate of return (IRR) method. Round all dollar amounts to the nearest whole dollar.
4. Calculate the accounting rate of return for this project.
5. Calculate the unadjusted payback period. State your answers in years and months.

3. Based upon your IRR analysis in part A3, make a recommendation to Entrepreneur D regarding what decision to make.
a. Explain why this is an appropriate action.
4. Explain why the accounting rate of return on this project is different from the interna rate of return for the same capital investment.
5. Explain the relative significance of the unadjusted payback period in this decision situation.
6. Explain how the weighted average cost of capital should be used in capital budgeting analysis when utilizing the NPV method.
7. Explain how the weighted average cost of capital should be used in capital budgeting analysis when utilizing the IRR method. When you use sources, include all in-text citations and references in APA format.
