a) Payback period = 3.860 years

b) The project should be accepted because the payback period is less than the required payback period (4 years).

c-1) NPV at 3% discount rate = $410.43

c-2) The project should be pursued because the NPV is positive.

d-1) NPV at 10% discount rate = -$39.25

d-2) The project should not be accepted because the NPV is negative.

e) Yes, the firm's decision would change if discount rate changes. At 3% discount rate NPV is positive and the 10% discount rate the NPV is negative. As if the discount rate change from 3% to 10% the NPV would become negative and the project should not be accepted.
