  2. Rank the projects using various measures of investment criteria (payback, discounted payback, average return on investment, IRR, PI and NPV). Do all the measures rank the projects identically? Why or why not? Which criterion is the best?
  3. Are the projects comparable based on the standard NPV measure, given that they have unequal lives?Research and recommend what alternative methods can be used when projects have unequal lives. Why is the alternative method you recommend is better compared to NPV?
  4. How sensitive is your ranking to changes in the discount rate?That’s how does accept/reject decision change as discount rate changes? Complete a quick sensitivity analysis by using discount rates that are around the appropriate discount rate you calculate (Pick three arbitrary discount rates; twohigher and one lower than the calculated discount rate).
