U3 Company is considering three long-term capital investmentproposals. Each investment has a useful life of 5 years. Relevantdata on each project are as follows. Project Bono Project EdgeProject Clayton Capital investment $164,800 $180,250 $204,000Annual net income: Year 1 14,420 18,540 27,810 2 14,420 17,51023,690 3 14,420 16,480 21,630 4 14,420 12,360 13,390 5 14,420 9,27012,360 Total $72,100 $74,160 $98,880 Depreciation is computed bythe straight-line method with no salvage value. The company’s costof capital is 15%. (Assume that cash flows occur evenly throughoutthe year.)

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.)
