ABC Company is considering two investments both of which cost $10,000.
The cash flows are as follows:
Year Project A Project B
1 $6,000 $5,000
2. 4,000 3,000
3. 3,000 8,000
Based on the net present value method, assuming a cost of capital of 10%, which of the two projects should be chosen?
Answer:
For Project A,
NPV = -10,000 + 6,000 / 1.1 + 4,000 / 1.12 + 3,000 / 1.13 = $1,014.27
For Project B,
NPV = -10,000 + 5,000 / 1.1 + 3,000 / 1.12 + 8,000 / 1.13 = $3,035.31
Based on NPV, Project B will be selected as it has a higher NPV
