00:01 To calculate each projects payback period net present value and internal rate of return calculate payback period and present value and internal rate of return and internal rate of return payback period equals to initial investment outlaying divided by annual net cash divided by annual net cash to the project x project and x payback period equals to dollar 10 ,000.

01:13 If i divide all the 4500 which is equals to 22 years.

01:23 Project y payback period equals dollar 10 ,000.

01:42 Divided by dollar 3000 is equal to 3 .3 years.

01:48 So npv equals to a 4 plus 1 divided by 1 plus.

01:58 If divided by 1 plus r.

02:14 Efn divided by 1 r.

02:19 So if we is the initial investment outlay given cf2 are the future cash flow and r is a cost of capital for the project x the project x equals to.

02:36 Npv equals to.

02:39 $10 ,000.

02:42 Is $4500.

02:46 1 plus 0 .08.

02:50 $4000.

02:52 Divided by 1 plus 0 .08.

03:03 2 plus 1000.

03:12 Divided by 1 plus 0 .8.

03:17 $1500.

03:18 Divided by 1 plus 0 .8.

03:23 So the npv equals to $271 .51.

03:28 So project y npv equals to $10 ,000.

03:41 $3000...
