CT Corp. is considering two mutually exclusive projects.  Both require an initial investment of P120,000 at t = 0.  Project X has an expected life of 2 years with after-tax cash inflows of P67,000 and P75,000 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 P38,500 at the end of each of the next 4 years.  Each project has a WACC of 8%.   Listed below are the requirements for this data set: Using the replacement chain approach, how much is the NPV of Project X? (Round the final answer to the nearest peso. Use the "NPV formula" in excel for exact computation. Otherwise, answer based on rounded pv factors will also be accepted.) Which of the two projects will be more profitable considering the replacement chain approach on the NPV of Project X? Using the equivalent annuity approach, what is the equivalent annuity of Project Y? (Round the final answer to the nearest peso)
