2. Shell Biotech Corporation is considering two mutually exclusive capital investment projects. Project 1 costs $75,000, and would produce annual cash flows of $16,200 for each of the next 9 years. Project 2 also costs $75,000, but would produce annual cash flows of $14,000 for each of the next 12 years. If Shell's cost of capital is 11%, which alternative should be chosen

Sagot :

Answer:

Project 2

Explanation:

The better alternative can be determined by calculating the npv

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

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator  

Project 1

Cash flow in year 0 = $-75,000

Cash flow each year fromyear 1 to 9 = $16,200

I = 11%

NPV = 14,700.17

Project 2

Cash flow in year 0 = $-75,000

Cash flow each year fromyear 1 to 12 = $14,000

I = 11%

NPV = 15,892.99

To find the NPV using a financial calculator:

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
