Basic scenario analysis Prime Paints is in the process of evaluating two mutually exclusive additions to its processing capacity. The firm's financial analysts have developedpessimistic, most likely, and optimistic estimates of the annual cash inflows associated with each project. These estimates are shown in the following table.

	Project A	Project B
Initial investment (CF0)	$12,400	$12,400
Outcome	Annual cash inflows (CF )
Pessimistic	$840	$1,560
Most likely	1,650	1,650
Optimistic	2,450	1,740

a. Determine the range of annual cash inflows for each of the two projects.

b. Assume that the firm's cost of capital is 9.2% and that both projects have 19-year lives. Construct a table showing the NPVs for each project for each of the possible outcomes. Include the range of NPVs for each project.c. Do parts (a) and (b) provide consistent views of the two projects? Explain.

d. Which project do you recommend? Why?

a. The range of annual cash inflows for project A is$16101610.

(Round to the nearest dollar.)The range of annual cash inflows for project B is $180180.

(Round to the nearest dollar.)b. Assume that the firm's cost of capital is 9.2% and that both projects have 19-year lives. Complete the NPV table below for project A:(Round to the nearest cent.)
