Value of Factory A = Annual Cash flow / Cost of Capital

= 19300 / 0.035

= 551,428.57

Cost of Capital of factory B

Value of Factory B = Annual Cash flow / Cost of Capital

545000 = 19900 / Cost of Capital

Cost of Capital = 19900 / 545000

Cost of Capital = 3.65%

Value of Factory A = 551,428.57

Value of Factory B = 545000

Cost of Capital of factory A = 3.5%

Cost of Capital of factory B = 3.65%

Value of Factory A is higher and risk is low.
