• Select the "$5 million in four years" project, since it returns the highest amount.
• Select the "4$ million in three years" project, since it has the shorter payback period.
• Calculaate the NPV of the projects, nd choose the project with the highest value.
• Calculaate the NPV of the projects, nd choose the project with the lowest value.
