An analyst is evaluating two projects. Project A has projected cash flows of $7,500, $6,000, and $4,500 for the next three years, respectively. Project B has projected cash flows of $4,500, $6,000, and $7,500 for the next three years, respectively. Assuming both projects have the same initial cost, the analyst knows that:

a)given any positive discount rate, both projects have equal net present values

b )Project B has a higher net present value than Project A.

c) both projects offer the same rate of return.

d) there are no conditions under which the projects can have equal values.

e) Project A is more valuable than Project B, given the same positive discount rate for each project.
