Chandler Tire Co. is trying to decide which one of two projects it should accept. Both projects have the same start-up costs. Project 1 will produce annual cash flows of $60,000 a year for six years. Project 2 will produce cash flows of $48,000 a year for eight years. The company requires a 15 percent rate of return. Which project should the company select and why? Project 1, as the annual cash flows are greater by $12,000 than those of Project 2 Project 2, as the present value of the cash inflows exceeds those of Project 1 by $18,598.33 It does not matter as both projects have almost identical present values. Project 1, as the present value of its cash inflows exceeds those of Project 2 by $11,677,53 Project 2, as the total cash inflows are $24,000 greater than those of Project 1
