2.12 Sample Problem: NPV and AAA for Unequal Lives

2.12 Sample Problem: NPV and AAA for Unequal Lives Given: - WACC (weighted average cost of capital; discount rate) = 0.08 - Cash flows projections as below – on the next page - The projects are mutually exclusive - Note: the projects have different expected lives To Solve: - Calculate the NPV for both projects, using the given unequal lives. - Re-calculate the NPV for Project B, assuming that it is replicable as initially projected. - Calculate the AAA for both projects. - Based on the numbers calculated, which project would you choose? Note: This example is derived from: http://www.investopedia.com/exam-guide/cfa-level-1/corporate-finance/comparing-projects-unequal-lives.asp. Thanks to Chaim Halberstam and Ariel Dorfman (The Lander College for Men class of 2019) for re-working the numbers to suit pedagogical requirements.
