Perit Industries has $100,000 to invest. The company is trying to decide between two alternative uses of the funds. The alternatives are: |
Project A | Project B | |
Cost of equipment required | $100,000 | $0 |
Working capital investment required | $0 | $100,000 |
Annual cash inflows | $21,000 | $15,750 |
Salvage value of equipment in six years | $8,000 | $0 |
Life of the project | 6 years | 6 years |
The working capital needed for project B will be released at the end of six years for investment elsewhere. Perit Industries' discount rate is 14%. (Ignore income taxes.) |
