Project S requires an initial outlay at t = 0 of $20,000, and its expected cash flows would be $5,000 per year for 5 years. Mutually exclusive Project L requires an initial outlay at t = 0 of $36,000, and its expected cash flows would be $14,550 per year for 5 years. If both projects have a WACC of 14%, which project would you recommend?

Select the correct answer.

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

b. Project L, since the NPVL > NPVS.

c. Both Projects S and L, since both projects have NPV's > 0.

d. Project S, since the NPVS > NPVL.

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