Year 4			91,400			77,000
Year 5			65,000			20,000

a. For each alternative project compute the net present value.
b. For each alternative project compute the profitability index. If the company can only select one project, which should it choose?

For each alternative project compute the net present value.

Project A
Initial Investment	$181,325
Chart Values are Based on:
i =		%
Year	Cash Inflow	x	PV Factor	=	Present Value
1				=
2				=
3				=
