Project S requires an initial outlay at t = 0 of $11,000, and its expected cash flows would be $4,500 per year for 5 years. Mutually exclusive Project L requires an initial outlay at t = 0 of $46,000, and its expected cash flows would be $11,800 per year for 5 years. If both projects have a WACC of 16%, which project would you recommend?

Select the correct answer.

a. Project L, because the NPVL > NPVS.

b. Both Projects S and L, because both projects have IRR's > 0.

c. Project S, because the NPVS > NPVL.

d. Neither Project S nor L, because each project's NPV < 0.

e. Both Projects S and L, because both projects have NPV's > 0.
