If required, use the minus sign to indicate a negative net present value. If required, round to the nearest whole dollar. Radio Station TV Station Present value of annual net cash flows $4 Less amount to be invested $ Net present value $4 $ 1b. Compute a present value index for each project. If required, round your answers to two decimal places. Present Value Index Radio Station TV Station 2. Determine the internal rate of return for each project by (a) computing a present value factor for an annuity of $1 and (b) using the present value of an annuity of $1 in the table above. If required, round your present value factor answers to three decimal places and internal rate of return to the nearest whole percent. Radio Station TV Station Present value factor for an annuity of $1 Internal rate of return % % 3. The net present value, present value index, and internal rate of return all indicate that the is a better financial opportunity compared to the although both investments meet the minimum return criterion of 10%.
