Ace Inc. is evaluating two mutually exclusive projects—Project A and Project B. The initial investment for each project is $50,000. Project A will generate cash inflows equal to $15,625 at the end of each of the next five years; Project B will generate only one cash inflow in the amount of $99,500 at the end of the fifth year (i.e., no cash flows are generated in the first four years). The required rate of return of Ace Inc. is 10 percent. Which project should Ace Inc. purchase? Group of answer choices Project A should be purchased because it has a higher net present value (NPV) than Project B. Project A should be purchased because it will produce cash every year for five years. Project A should be purchased because it has a positive net present value (NPV). Neither project should be purchased, because neither has a positive net present value (NPV).

King Racing Company (KRC) is considering which of two mutually exclusiveengine development projects to pursue. King's RPX design has an expectedlife of 4 years and projected cash inflows are $3.6 million at the end ofeach of the first two years and $1.8 million in each of the next twoyears. King's RPB design is more flexible and has an eight-year life.The projected end-of-year flows from the RPB design are $2.4 million ineach of the first two years and $2.0 million in each of the next sixyears. Both projects require an initial investment of $5.4 million, andKing's cost of capital is 12 percent. Frequent changes in racing rulesand engine technology make engine development risky, but King feels thatthe basic designs can be refined and modified. Thus, King often assumesthat continuous replacements can be made as a project's life ends.What is the net present value (on an eight-year extended basis) of theproject with the most value to the company?
Ace Barker Inc. is evaluating two mutually exclusive projects: A and B. The initial investment for each project is $42,000.
