Present Value
Year Project A Project B DF at 10% Project A Project B
A B C D = A x C E = B x C
0 -20 -30              1.0000 $           (20.00) $           (30.00)
1 8 10              0.9091 $               7.27 $               9.09
2 8 10              0.8264 $               6.61 $               8.26
3 6 11              0.7513 $               4.51 $               8.26
4 4 9              0.6830 $               2.73 $               6.15
NPV = Sum total $                      1.12 $                      1.77
So NPV for project A is $1.12
