Your firm is considering investing in one of two mutually exclusive projects. Project A requires an

initial outlay of $3,500 with expected future cash flows of $2,000 per year for the next three years.

Project B requires an initial outlay of $2,500 with expected future cash flows of $1,500 per year for
the next two years. The appropriate discount rate for your firm is 12% and it is not subject to capital
rationing. Assuming both projects can be replaced with a similar investment at the end of their
respective lives, compute the NPV of the two chain cycle for Project A and three chain cycle for
Project B.
A) $2,865 and $94 B) $3,528 and $136
C) $5,000 and $1,500 D) $2,232 and $85
