ANSWER
1.
the two groups are balance sheet and income statement
The Balance Sheet shows the financial position (condition) of the firm at a given point of time. It provides a snapshot that may be regarded as a static picture. “Balance sheet is a summary of a firm’s financial position on a given date that shows Total assets = Total liabilities + Owner’s equity.”
The Income Statement reflects the performance of the firm over a period of time. “Income statement is a summary of a firm’s business revenues and expenses over a specified period, ending with net income or loss for the period.”
However, financial statements do not reveal all the information related to the financial operations of a firm, but they furnish some extremely useful information, which highlights two important factors profitability and financial soundness.

A | 7,500,000 | 7,600,000 | 100,000 | 16% |
B | 650,000 | 950,000 | 300,000 | 17% |
C | 1,800,000 | 2,100,000 | 300,000 | 15% |
D | 1,450,000 | 1,700,000 | 250,000 | 20% |
E | 950,000 | 1,150,000 | 200,000 | 25% |
F | 2,400,000 | 2,800,000 | 400,000 | 21% |
G | 1,200,000 | 1,500,000 | 300,000 | 22% |
H | 900,000 | 1,000,000 | 100,000 | 19% |
with given 6 million - project b , c , f and g can be accepted
both provide with highest NPV and IRR
2,400,000 + 1,200,000 +,600,000 +,1,800,000 = 6,000,000
