Annual net cash flows:
	Year 1	391,000		278,000		164,000
	Year 2	364,000		250,000		113,000
	Year 3	332,000		222,000		82,000

Present Value of $1 at Compound Interest
Year	6%	10%	12%	15%	20%
1	0.943	0.909	0.893	0.870	0.833
2	0.890	0.826	0.797	0.756	0.694

10	0.558	0.386	0.322	0.247	0.162

Required:

1. Assuming that the desired rate of return is 10%, prepare a net present value analysis for each proposal. Use the present value of $1 table above. If required, use the minus sign to indicate a negative net present value. If required, round to the nearest dollar.

	Branch Office Expansion	Computer System Upgrade	ATM Kiosk Expansion
Present value of net cash flow total	$fill in the blank 1	$fill in the blank 2	$fill in the blank 3
Amount to be invested	$fill in the blank 4	$fill in the blank 5	$fill in the blank 6
Net present value	$fill in the blank 7	$fill in the blank 8	$fill in the blank 9

2. Determine a present value index for each proposal. If required, round your answers to two decimal places.

	Present Value Index
Branch Office Expansion	fill in the blank 10
Computer System Upgrade	fill in the blank 11
Install Internet Bill-Pay	fill in the blank 12
