You are considering two mutually exclusive projects. Both projects have an initial cost of $52,000. Project A produces cash inflows of $25,300, $37100, and $22,000 for years 1 through 3, respectively. Project B produces cash inflows of $43,600, $19,800 and $10,400 for years 1 through 3, respectively. The required rate of return is 14.2 percent for Project A and 13.9 percent for Project B. Which project should you accept and why? a) Project A because it has the higher required rate of return b) Project A because it has the larger NPV c) Project 8, because it has the largest cash inflow in year 1. d) Project B; because it has the lower required rate of return

    b) Project A because it has the larger NPV

    Explanation:

    Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.

    NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator

    Project A

    Cash flow in year 0 = $-52,000

    Cash flow in year 1 = $25,300,

    Cash flow in year 2 = $37100

    Cash flow in year 3 = $22,000

    I = 14.2

    NPV = $13,372.95

    Project B

    Cash flow in year 0 = $-52,000

    Cash flow in year 1 = $43,600

    Cash flow in year 2 =, $19,800

    Cash flow in year 3 = $10,400

    I = 13.9

    NPV = $8,579.62

    The NPV of project A is larger than that of project B, so, project A is more suitable
