Explanation / Answer

A) NPV is a difference between present value of cash inflows and cah outflows

Enter the below in any Financial Caluclator

CF0= -100,000

CF1= 33000

CF2= 33000

CF3= 33000

CF4= 33000

CF5= 33000

I = 11

Caluclate NPV

NPV=21,964.60

Similarly for Project B

Caluclate NPV

CF0= - 100,000

CF1= 0

CF2= 0

CF3= 0

CF4= 0

CF5= 230,000

Caluclate NPV

NPV=36,493.80

NPV of B 36,493.80>NPV of Project A 21,964.60

As projects are mutually exclusive we have to accept project with Highest NPV

So Select Project B

For above question Answer is Option "C"

Choose B as it has Highest NPV
