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 B supports a training program that will improve the skills of employees operating the current equipment. Initial cash expenditures for Project A are $112,000 and for Project B are $32,000. The annual expected cash inflows are $34,571 for Project A and $10,536 for Project B. Both investments are expected to provide cash flow benefits for the next four years. Spier Enterprises cost of capital is 6 percent.
