Project X Project Y Cost of equipment needed now $ 145,000 Working capital requirement - $ 145,000 Annual cash operating inflows $ 37,000 $ 32,000 Salvage value in 5 years $ 6,000 - Both projects will have a useful life of 5 years; at the end of 5 years, the working capital will be released for use elsewhere.

Answer: -$‭20,529.6‬0

Explanation:

Net Present value of Y = Present Value of Inflows - Present value of Outflows

Present Value of Y inflows

$32,000 inflows for 5 years. This is therefore an annuity

Present value of annuity = Annuity * Present value interest factor, 9%, 5 years

= 32,000  * 3.8897

= $‭124,470.4‬0

Net Present Value = 124,470.4‬0 - 145,000

= -$‭20,529.6‬0
