Expert Solution

Answer : Calculation of Net Present Value of Project A

Below is the table showing Net Present Value of Project A

Year	Cash Inflows	PVF @ 10%	Present Value of Cash Inflow
1	300000	0.909091	272727.2727
2	320000	0.826446	264462.8099
3	370000	0.751315	277986.4763
4	430000	0.683013	293695.7858
5	550000	0.620921	341506.7277

	Total Present Value of Cash Inflows		1450379.072

	Less: Present Value of Cash Outflow		1000000

	Net present Value		450379.07

Below is the table showing Net Present Value of Project B

Year	Cash Inflows	PVF @ 10%	Present Value of Cash Inflow
1	400000	0.909091	363636.3636
2	400000	0.826446	330578.5124
3	400000	0.751315	300525.9204
4	400000	0.683013	273205.3821
5	400000	0.620921	248368.5292

	Total Present Value of Cash Inflows		1516314.708

	Less: Present Value of Cash Outflow		1000000

	Net present Value		516314.71

Based on Net Present Value , we should Accept Project B as it has higher Present Value .

(b.) Below is the sheet showing Calculation of IRR

Exact IRR calculation is

Since the IRR of Project B is more than IRR of Project A therefore Accept Project B.
