Explanation / Answer

HI, Please find the answer as follows: NPV Project A = -50000 + 24800/(1+.146)^1 + 36200/(1+.146)^2 + 21000/(1+.146)^3 = 13157.23 NPV Project B = -50000 + 41000/(1+.138)^1 + 20000/(1+.138)^2 + 10000/(1+.138)^3 = 8256.98 13157.23 - 8256.98 = 4900.26 or 4900 Option B is correct. Thanks, Aman
