a). Calculating the NPV of the Project A:-
| Year | Cash Flows of Project A ($) | PV Factor @9.00% | Present Value of Project A ($) |
| 0 | (15,000.00) | 1.0000 | (15,000.00) |
| 1 | 10,000.00 | 0.9174 | 9,174.31 |
| 2 | 8,000.00 | 0.8417 | 6,733.44 |
| 3 | 6,000.00 | 0.7722 | 4,633.10 |
| 5,540.85 |
So, NPV of The Project A is $5,540.85
hence, Option A
b). Calculating the NPV of the Project B:-
| Year | Cash Flows of Project B ($) | PV Factor @9.00% | Present Value of Project's B ($) |
| 0 | (15,000.00) | 1.0000 | (15,000.00) |
| 1 | 10,000.00 | 0.9174 | 9,174.31 |
| 2 | 5,000.00 | 0.8417 | 4,208.40 |
| 3 | 4,000.00 | 0.7722 | 3,088.73 |
| 4 | 3,000.00 | 0.7084 | 2,125.28 |
| 5 | 2,000.00 | 0.6499 | 1,299.86 |
| 4,896.58 |
So, NPV of The Project B is $4,896.58
Hence, Option B
c). Calculating Equivalent Annual Annuity (EAA) for project A :-

where, r = WACC = 9%
NPV = $5,540.85
n = no of years = 3



EAA = $2,188.94
Hence, Option D
d). Calculating Equivalent Annual Annuity (EAA) for project B :-

where, r = WACC = 9%
NPV = $4,896.58
n = no of years = 5


EAA = $1,258.87
Hence, Option A

Equivalent annual annuities Another method to deal with the unequal life problem of projects is the equivalent annual annuity (EAA) method. In this method the annual cash flows under the alternative investments are converted into a constant cash flow stream whose NPV is equivalent to the NPV of the comparative project's initial stream. Consider the case of...
