Project A has a required return on 9.2 percent and cash flows of −$87,000, $32,600, $35,900, and $43,400 for Years 0 to 3, respectively. Project B has a required return of 12.7 percent and cash flows of −$85,000, $14,700, $21,200, and $89,800 for Years 0 to 3, respectively. Which project(s) should you accept based on net present value if the projects are mutually exclusive? Multiple Choice Accept Project A and reject Project B Reject Project A and accept Project B Accept both projects Reject both projects Accept either one, but not both

Accept Project B , Reject Project A

Explanation:

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

NPV can be found using a financial calculator

For project A ,

Cash flow in year 0 = $-87,000

Cash flow in year 1 = $32,600

Cash floe in year 2 = $35,900

Cash floe in year 3 = $43,400

I = 9.2%

NPV = $6,288.17

For project B,

Cash flow in year zero = −$85,000

Cash flow in year 1 = $14,700

Cash flow in year 2 = $21,200

Cash flow in year 3 = $89,800

I = 12.7%

NPV = $7,468.93

Based on the NPV, the second project would be chosen because it has a higher NPV.

Both projects are profitable but because the projects are mutually exclusive, only the more profitable project can be chosen.

To find the NPV using a financial calacutor:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

3. Press compute
