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.
