Question 2
The Meacham Tire Company is considering two mutually exclusive projects with useful lives of 3 and 6 years.
The after-tax cash flows for projects S and L are listed below.
Year Cash Flow S Cash Flow L
0 -60,000 -115,000
1 38,000 28,500
2 25,000 49,500
3 35,000 26,850
4 22,600
5 18,750
6 23,500
The required rate of return on these projects is 14 percent. What decision should be made? As part of your
answer, calculate the NPV assuming a replacement chain for Project S, and also calculate the equivalent annual
annuity for each project.
