Dwight Donovan, the president of Baird Enterprises, is considering two investment opportunities. Because of limited resources, he will be able to invest in only one of them. Project A is to purchase a machine that will enable factory automation; the machine is expected to have a useful life of five years and no salvage value. Project B supports a training program that will improve the skills of employees operating the current equipment. Initial cash expenditures for Project A are $108,000 and for Project B are $38,000. The annual expected cash inflows are $27,766 for Project A and $11,069 for Project B. Both investments are expected to provide cash flow benefits for the next five years. Baird Enterprises’ desired rate of return is 8 percent. (PV of $1 and PVA of $1)
