Corporate Finance Q43

0. Consider the following two mutually exclusive projects:
Project   Year 0Year 1Year 2Year 3
Project A   - 351825001450500
Project B   - 384690015002500

  • Option : A
  • Explanation : Plug in the relevant cash flows into the financial calculator for both the projects and compute the NPVs.
    Project A: CF0 = -3518, CF1 = 2500, CF2 = 1450, CF3 = 500, I = 10%, CPT NPV NPVA = $328.73
    Project B: CF0 = -3846, CF1 = 900, CF2 = 1500, CF3 = 2500, I = 10%, CPT NPV NPVB = $90.14
    Since both projects are mutually exclusive i.e. the firm can only accept one, it would choose the one with the higher NPV which is A.
