Tasty Tuna Corporation is a U.S. firm that wants to expand its business internationally. It is considering potential projects in both France and Thailand, and the French project is expected to take six years, whereas the Thai project is expected to take only three years. However, the firm plans to repeat the Thai project after three years. These projects are mutually exclusive, so Tasty Tuna Corporations CFO plans to use the replacement chain approach to analyze both projects. The expected cash flows for both projects follow:

Project: French

Year 0: $650,000

Year 1: $220,000

Year 2: $240,000

Year 3: $245,000

Year 4: $270,000

Year 5: $120,000

Year 6: $100,000

Project: Thai

Year 0:$490,000

Year 1:$250,000

Year 2:$265,000

Year 3:$275,000

A. $285,512
