NPV unequal lives.
Grady Enterprises is looking at two project opportunities for a parcel of land the company currently owns. The first project is a restaurant, and the second project is a sports facility. The projected cash flow of the restaurant is an initial cost of $1,420,000with cash flows over the next six years of $190,000 (year one), $200,000 (year two), $310,000 (years three through five), and $1,800,000 (year six), at which point Grady plans to sell the restaurant. The sports facility has the following cash flows: an initial cost of $2,330,000 with cash flows over the next four years of $350,000 (years one through three) and $2,530,000 (year four), at which point Grady plans to sell the facility. If the appropriate discount rate for the restaurant is 9.59.5% and the appropriate discount rate for the sports facility is 11.511.5%, use the NPV to determine which project Grady should choose for the parcel of land. Adjust the NPV for unequal lives with the equivalent annual annuity. Does the decision change?
