a. Calculate the NPV of each project for discount rates of 0, 10, and 20%. Plot these on a graph with NPV on the vertical axis and discount rate on the horizontal axis, j


b. What is the approximate IRR for each project?


c. In what circumstances should the company accept project A?


d. Calculate the NPV of the incremental investment (B - A) for discount rates of 0, 10, and 20%. Plot these on your graph. Show that the circumstances in which you would accept A are also those in which the IRR on the incremental investment is less than the opportunity cost of capital.
