The management of Advanced Alternative Power Inc. is considering two capital investment projects. The estimated net cash flows from each project are as follows:

Year Wind Turbines Biofuel Equipment
1 $280,000 $300,000
2  280,000  300,000
3  280,000  300,000
4  280,000  300,000

The wind turbines require an investment of $887,600, while the biofuel equipment requires an investment of $911,100. No residual value is expected from either project.
