If two cash flows are equivalent, I would be willing to select one over the other if the cash flows of this particular project tare occurring earlier than the other one. For instance if Project A yields cash flows of $100 per annum for 5 years starting next year, its present value at 10% rate will be 100*P/A,10%,5 = 100*3.791 = $379.1
On the other hand if Project A yields the same cash flows of$100 for 5 years but starting after 2 years, its present value at 10% will be 100*P/A,10%,5 /(1+r)^1 = 100*3.791/1.1^1 =$ 344.64
Hence we would be better off selecting Project A since it has higher present worth.
Economics question. Developing the cash flow for each alternative in a study is a pivotal, and...
