In capital budgeting analysis, there are many methods available for evaluating a project whether to accept or not. The methods include: Net Present Value (NPV), Profitability Index (PI), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Accounting Rate of Return (ARR), Payback Period, Discounted Payback Period, Annual Worth (AW), Equal Annual Cash Flow (EUAC), etc. Out of all these methods available, NPV is considered to be the best because it considers time value of money and delivers result in dollar value. So, for analyzing the given two alternatives, NPV should be the appropriate evaluation tool. However, when two or more projects with unequal lives are evaluated, AW should be the appropriate evaluation tool. NOTE: Present Value Factor (PVF) @ 12% = 1/(1+12%)"; 1/(1+12%);.... 1/(1+12%)"..... 1/(1+12%)"; 1/(1+12%)
