Answer:

d

Step-by-step explanation:

Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator

Investment A

Cash flow in year 0 = -$150

Cash flow in year 1 = $80

Cash flow in year 2 = $40

Cash flow in year 3 = $40

Cash flow in year 4 = $30

I = 10%

NPV = 6.33

Investment A

Cash flow in year 0 = -$150

Cash flow in year 1 = $40

Cash flow in year 2 = $50

Cash flow in year 3 = $60

Cash flow in year 4 = $55

I = 10%

NPV = 10.33

Project B has a higher NPV and it should be chosen

To find the NPV using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

3. Press compute
