Cramer Industries has identified several investment opportunities that will become available over the next three years and would like you to evaluate these projects. They have asked that you use the NPV and IRR methods to determine if these independent projects are acceptable. Each of these investments will occur one year apart and the cash flows will start one year after the investment is made.

Table-1:

Project	Cash Flows/Year (in thousands)	Length of Project	Cost and Date when Cost is incurred
A	$ 2,300.00	5 years	$ 12,000.00 @t=1
B	$ 3,000.00	5 years	$ 17,000.00 @t=2
C	$ 2,800.00	5 years	$ 13,000.00 @t=3
D	$ 2,100.00	5 years	$ 15,000.00 @t=4
