Read the requirements.

Data table

Requirement $1.$ Calculate the following for the new machine:

a$.$ Net present value $($NPV$)($Use factors to three decimal places,

X$.$XXX$,$ and use a minus sign or parentheses for a negative net present valu

The net present value is

b$.$ Payback period $($Round your answer to two decimal places.$)$

The payback period in years is

c$.$ Discounted payback period $($Round interim calculations to the nearest whole dollar. Round the rate to two decimal places, X$.$XX$.)$

The discounted payback period in years is

d$.$ Internal rate of return $($Round the rate to two decimal places, X$.$XX$\%.)$

The internal rate of return $($IRR$)$ is

$\%.$

e$.$ Accrual accounting rate of return based on the net initial investment $($Round interim calculations to the nearest whole dollar. Round the rate

Stupendous estimates it will be able to produce more candy using the second

machine and thus increase its annual contribution margin. It also estimates there
