Pedro Spier, the president of Spier Enterprises, is considering two investment opportunities. Because of limited resources, he will be able to invest in only one of them. Project A is to purchase a machine that will enable factory automation; the machine is expected to have a useful life of three years and no salvage value. Project B supports a training program that will improve the skills of employees operating the current equipment. Initial cash expenditures for Project A are $117,000 and for Project B are $43,000. The annual expected cash inflows are $55,543 for Project A and $17,903 for Project B. Both investments are expected to provide cash flow benefits for the next three years. Spier Enterprises' cost of capital is 8 percent. (PV of $1 and PVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) Required a-1. Compute the net present value of each project.
