Explanation / Answer

Project F

Project G

Based on 3 year cut off the company should accept Project F.

However NPV of Project G is more than NPV of Project F, that means cash flow from Project G is more , Cash Flow is more iportant while making capital budgeting decision, hence Project G should be accepted.
