Module 5: Assignment 3 -- Written Accounting Case -- Present Value Techniques - 10-16A c - 10-16A C. Alternative 2 should be selected as it possesses a higher Net Present Value (NPV) compared to Alternative 1. While it's true that the Present Value Index (PVI) for Alternative 1 is slightly higher than that of Alternative 2, it's important to prioritize NPV in this decision-making process. The reason for this prioritization is twofold. First, the value of cash inflows can significantly influence the Present Value Index, and these inflows may vary over time. Secondly, the difference in PVI between the two alternatives is minimal. Therefore, NPV provides a more robust and reliable indicator of the project's profitability, making it the preferred metric for making an informed investment decision in this scenario.
