Leung Corporation is considering investing in two different projects. It could invest in both, neither, or just one of the projects. The forecasts for the projects are as follows:
Project A:
Capital investment $200,000
Net annual cash flows $50,000
Length of project 5 years
Project B:
Capital investment $300,000
Net annual cash flows $65,000
Length of project 7 years
The required rate of return acceptable to Leung is 9%.
