What if the discount rate is 13 percent? accept project A as it always has the higher NPV accept project B as it always has the higher NPV accept A at 8.5 percent and B at 13 percent accept B at 8.5 percent and A at 13 percent accept B at 8.5 percent and neither at 13 percent

Explanation / Answer

NPV at 8.5%
Project A= -80000+31000/1.085+31000/1.085^2+31000/1.085^3= -825.3065
Project B=-80000+110000/1.085^3=6119.891

NPV at 13 %
Project A= -80000+31000/1.13+31000/1.13^2+31000/1.13^3=-6804.2695

Project B=-80000+110000/1.13^3= -3764.4821


So,accept B at 8.5 percent and neither at 13 percent
