A company is considering two mutually exclusive expansion


NPV profiles: scale differences

A company is considering two mutually exclusive expansion plans. Plan A requires a $39 million expenditure on a large-scale integrated plant that would provide expected cash flows of $6.23 million per year for 20 years. Plan B requires a $13 million expenditure to build a somewhat less efficient, more labor-intensive plant with an expected cash flow of $2.91 million per year for 20 years. The firm's WACC is 10%.

Calculate each project's NPV. Round your answers to two decimal places. Do not round your intermediate calculations. Enter your answers in millions. For example, an answer of $10,550,000 should be entered as 10.55.
