You Should do Project Adam because it has higher EAA.
If two projects are mutually exclusive which means only one project can be selected and both have different life then Equivalent Annual Annuity (EAA) Approach can provide base for decision making. A project with higher EAA should be selected as it provide higher equivalent annual cash flow to the company.
NPV and IRR can be ignored in case of analysis of projects with different life.
Hope this will help, please do comment if you need any further explanation. Your feedback would be highly appreciated.

You are evaluating two mutually exclusive projects. Project 1 has an NPV of $3000 and an IRR of 15%. Project 2 has expected cash flows of - $22,477 in year 0, $14,236 in year 1, $11,904 in year 2 and $10,013 in year 3. If there is a required rate of 10% on both projects, what is the Net Present Value of Project 2? (Think about but do not answer on line; which project would you choose?
