Sky Fly, Inc is a fast growing drone manufacturer. The annual rate of return of Sky Fly's stock has been 20% over the past few years. Company managers believe 20% is a good estimate for the firms' cost of capital. Sky Fly's CEO, Dane Cooper, believes the company needs to continue to invest in projects that offer the highest possible returns. Currently, the company is reviewing two separate projects. Project E involves expanding production capacity. Project I involves introducing one of the firms' drones into a new market. The following table shows the projected cash flows for each project.<\/p>
