The capital investment committee of Ellis Transport and Storage Inc. is considering two investment projects. The estimated income from operations and net cash flows from each investment are as follows:

	Warehouse					Tracking Technology
Year	Income from Operations		Net Cash Flow			Income from Operations		Net Cash Flow
1	$ 61,400		$135,000			$ 34,400		$108,000
2	51,400		125,000			34,400		108,000
3	36,400		110,000			34,400		108,000
4	26,400		100,000			34,400		108,000
5	(3,600)		70,000			34,400		108,000
Total	$172,000		$540,000			$172,000		$540,000

Each project requires an investment of $368,000. Straight-line depreciation will be used, and no residual value is expected. The committee has selected a rate of 15% for purposes of the net present value analysis.
