Compute the cash payback period for each project.(Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g.10.50.)

Project Bono		enter the cash payback period inyears for the project rounded to 2 decimal places	years
Project Edge		enter the cash payback period inyears for the project rounded to 2 decimal places	years
Project Clayton		enter the cash payback period inyears for the project rounded to 2 decimal places	years

Compute the net present value for each project.(Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 125. If thenet present value is negative, use either a negative sign precedingthe number eg -45 or parentheses eg (45). Forcalculation purposes, use 5 decimal places as displayed in thefactor table provided.)
