Question:

Diego’s Custom Construction is considering three new projects, each requiring an equipment investment of €22,000. Each project will last for 3 years and produce the following net annual cash flows.

Year AA BB CC € 7,000 1 €10,000 €13,000 10,000 12,000 9,000 12,000 3 10,000 11,000 Total €28,000 €30,000 €36


The equipment’s residual value is zero, and Diego uses straight-line depreciation. Diego will not accept any project with a cash payback period over 2 years. Diego’s required rate of return is 12%.

b. Compute the net present value of each project. Does your evaluation change? (Round to nearest euro.)
