Another Example Consider two competing investments in computer equipment. Each calls for an initial cash outlay of P100, and each returns P200 over the next five years making for a net gain of P100. But the timing of the returns is different, as shown in the table below (Company A Limited and Company B Limited), and therefore the present value of each year's gains is different. Using a 10% discount rate compute the Net Present Value (NPV) of A Limited and B Limited and ascertain which company generates better NPV. A Limited B Limited Year Cash Flow Year Cash Flow 60 20 60 20 W N 40 3 40 20 60 UI A 20 60
