Problem: The projected cash flows for two mutually exclusive projects are as follows:
Year Project A Project B
0 ($150,000) ($150,000)
1 0 50,000
2 0 50,000
3 0 50,000
4 0 50,000
5 250,000 50,000
If the cost of capital is 10%, the decidedly more favorable project is:
a. project B with an NPV of $39,539 and an IRR of 19.9%.
b. project A with an NPV of $5,230 and an IRR of 10.8%.
c. project A with an NPV of $39,539 and an IRR of 10.8%.
d. project B with an NPV of $5,230 and an IRR of 19.9%.
