5. The following table shows the different net cash flow values through the entire life of
three projects under consideration, Depending on the below mentioned table :

Project Year 0 Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Year 6

Project I -$16,000 5,000 8,000 9,000 12,000 10,000 12,000

Project II -$20,000 2,000 4,000 4,000 5,000 3,000 4,000

Project III -$18,000 5,000 8,000 9,000 12,000 10,000 12,000

i. Evaluate these projects economically and decide the best project using NPV method (use
i= 10%.
ii. What he most profitable project using the internal rate of return approach.
iii. What is the most economic project using the payback period approach.
