Project X has the following cash flows: C0 = +2,000, C1 = -1,150, and C2 = -1,150. If the
IRR of the project is 9.85% and if the cost of capital is 12%, would you accept or reject?

Problem 3
Story Company is investing in a giant crane. It is expected to cost $6.0 million in initial

rate?

Problem 5
