World Trans. is considering two mutually exclusive projects. Both require an initial investment of $9,200 at t = 0. Project X has an expected life of 2 years with after-tax cash inflows of $7,000 and $7,800 at the end of Years 1 and 2, respectively. In addition, Project X can be repeated at the end of Year 2 with no changes in its cash flows. Project Y has an expected life of 4 years with after-tax cash inflows of $5,000 at the end of each of the next 4 years. Each project has a WACC of 8%.
