Unequal livesANPV approach JBL Co. has designed a new conveyor system. Management must choose among three alternative courses of action: (1) The firm can sell the design outright to another corporation with payment over 2 years. (2) It can license the design to another manufacturer for a period of 5 years, its likely product life. (3) It can manufacture and market the system itself; this alternative will result in 6 years of cash inflows. The company has a cost of capital of 11.1%. Cash flows associated with each alternative are as shown in the following table.

Why is ANPV preferred over NPV when ranking projects with unequal lives? (Select all that apply.) A. Both the NPV method and the ANPV technique always give the same result as long as the project's IRR is positive. B. The ANPV technique implicitly assumes that all projects can be selected again at their conclusion an infinite number of times. C. ANPV adjusts for the differences in the length of the projects and allows selection of the optimal project. D. Comparing the NPVs of projects with unequal lives gives an advantage to those projects that generate cash flows over the longer period. Olial temaleet vuonnorlal
