Mutually exclusive Project L costs $37,500, and its expected cash flow’s would be $11,100 per year for 5 years. If both projects have a WACC of 14%, which project would you recommend? Explain.

Students have asked these similar questions
Project S requires an initial outlay at t = 0 of $16,000, and its expected cash flows would be $5,000 per year for 5
years. Mutually exclusive Project L requires an initial outlay at t = 0 of $30,500, and its expected cash flows would be
$9,450 per year for 5 years. If both projects have a WACC of 16%, which project would you recommend?
Select the correct answer.
O a. Project S, because the NPVS > NPVL.
O b. Both Projects S and L, because both projects have NPV's > 0.
c. Both Projects S and L, because both projects have IRR's > 0.
O d. Project L, because the NPVL > NPVS.
O e. Neither Project S nor L, because each project's NPV < 0.
