Project S requires an initial outlay at t = 0 of $12,000, 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 $25,000, and its expected cash flows would be $8,450 per year for 5 years. If both projects have a WACC of 14%, which project would you recommend?

b. Neither Project S nor L, since each project's NPV < 0.

c. Project L, since the NPVL > NPVS.

d. Project S, since the NPVS > NPVL.

e. Both Projects S and L, since both projects have IRR's > 0
