The table below demonstrates the cash flow over a six-year period for two projects, A and B.
| Year | Project A Cash Flow | Project B Cash Flow |
|------|---------------------|---------------------|
| 0 | -2500 | -2500 |
| 1 | 900 | 50 |
| 2 | 800 | 600 |
| 3 | 1600 | 150 |
| 4 | 100 | 900 |
| 5 | 50 | 500 |
| 6 | 300 | 2500 |
#### Key Points:
- **Initial Investment (Year 0):** Both projects require an initial outlay of -2500.
- **Cash Inflows/Outflows:**
- **Project A:**
- Experiences higher cash inflows in years 1, 2, and 3, with the peak at year 3 with a flow of 1600.
- Decreases significantly in years 4 and 5, before slightly increasing in year 6.
- **Project B:**
- Starts with lower inflows compared to Project A but steadily increases, peaking significantly at 2500 in year 6.
This analysis can assist in understanding the cash flow dynamics and the potential returns from each project over the specified period.
