a.      For each proposal, compute the (1) payback period, (2) return on average investment, and
(3) net present value, discounted at management’s required rate of return of 15 percent. (Round the payback period to the nearest tenth of a year and the return on investment to the nearest tenth of a percent.) Use Exhibits 26–3 and 26–4 where  necessary.
b.      On the basis of your analysis in part a, state which proposal you would recommend and explain the reasons for your choice.
