it is the best selection criterion.
The -Select-smallerlargerCorrect 2 of Item 1 the NPV, the

equation form, the NPV is defined as:
CFt is the expected cash flow at Time t, r is
the project's risk-adjusted cost of capital, and N is its life, and
cash outflows are treated as negative cash flows. The NPV
calculation assumes that cash inflows can be reinvested at the

Quantitative Problem: Bellinger Industries
is considering two projects for inclusion in its capital budget,
and you have been asked to do the analysis. Both projects'
after-tax cash flows are shown on the time line below.
Depreciation, salvage values, net operating working capital
requirements, and tax effects are all included in these cash flows.
Both projects have 4-year lives, and they have risk characteristics
similar to the firm's average project. Bellinger's WACC is 8%.
