A company is considering two mutually exclusive expansion plans. Plan A requires $28,000 initial expenditure on a large scale integrated plant, whereas Plan B requires $20,000 to build a somewhat less efficient but labor intensive plant. The firms expected WACC is 14%. The expected cash flows from both projects are listed below:

Years	Plan A	Plan B
1	7186	4660
2	8326	5476
3	7108	5266
4	6377	4743
5	6376	5403
6	5828	5012
7	5280	4620
