In the absence of any other information, they will invest in all projects that give a positive NPV. Therefore you need to calculate the NPV for each of the projects.
April 16, 2022 at 12:53 pm #653433Sorry Mr. Maffot, I thought this was the tutors forum. And i understand the question requires you to calculate the NPV, but i do not understand how to do it. Please explain how to arrive at the answer.
Thanks.April 16, 2022 at 2:27 pm #653437I explain how to calculate the present value of an annuity starting at a later date (in this case starting at time 11) in my free lectures on investment appraisal.
