Newtown Corp. has to choose between two mutually exclusive projects. If it chooses project A, Newtown Corp. will have the opportunity to make a similar investment in three years. However, if it chooses project B, it will not have the opportunity to make a second investment. The following table lists the cash flows for these projects. If the firm uses the replacement chain (common life) approach, what will be the difference between the net present value (NPV) of project A and project B, assuming that both projects have a weighted average cost of capital of 12%?   Cash Flow     Project A   Project B   Year 0: –$15,000 Year 0: –$40,000 Year 1: 9,000 Year 1: 8,000 Year 2: 15,000 Year 2: 15,000 Year 3: 14,000 Year 3: 14,000     Year 4: 13,000     Year 5: 12,000     Year 6: 11,000   $13,512   $11,923   $15,897   $12,718   $10,333     Newtown Corp. is considering a five-year project that has a weighted average cost of capital of 13% and a NPV of $30,450.
