    Project B

    Explanation:

    The computation of the net present value is shown below:

    = Cash inflows - cash outflows

    For Project A, it would be

    = $120 * PVIFA factor for 7 years at 10% - $500

    = $120 * 4.8684 - $500

    = $584.208 - $500

    = $84.208

    For Project B, it would be

    = $1,350 * PVIFA factor for 5 years at 10% - $5,000

    = $1,350 * 3.7908 - $5,000

    = $5,117.58 - $5,000

    = $117.58

    Refer to the PVIFA table

    So, project B has the highest net present value
