Project A requires an original investment of $62,800. The project will yield cash flows of $18,000 per year for 4 years. Project B has a computed net present value of $3,770 over a 4-year life. Project A could be sold at the end of 4 years for $19,100.

Following is a table for the present value of $1 at compound interest:

Year	6%	10%	12%
1	0.943	0.909	0.893
2	0.890	0.826	0.797
3	0.840	0.751	0.712
4	0.792	0.683	0.636
5	0.747	0.621	0.567
