You are considering investing in a new project, Project B. Your firm has already invested in one project, Project A. If the cash flows to Project A will increase when you invest in Project B, should you include the entire cash flows to Project A in your valuation of Project B, include the new cash flows to Project A in the valuation of Project B, or exclude any cash flows to Project A in the valuation of Project B? Explain your answer.
As the Cash Flows of Project A are Increasing DIRECTLY because Project B is undertaken, those ADDITIONAL CASH FLOWS OF PROJECT A are ALSO the benefit received BECAUSE OF PROJECT B. Therefore, while Valuing Project B, ADDITIONAL Cash Flows of Project A should also be considered. All Cash Flows of Project A should NOT be considered because, the existing cash flows were occuring EVEN IF Project B is NOT undertaken.
