Calculate the equivalent annual annuity for each project assuming a required return of 15%. What decision
should be made?
Choose Project S. Although the NPV of Project L (NPV = $1,269.21 ) is greater than the NPV of Project S (NPV =
$1,083.26), this is due to the longer life of project L. The equivalent annual annuity for Project S is $474.44, while the
equivalent annual annuity for Project L is only $335.37.
