Consider two mutually exclusive new product launch projects that Nagano Golf is considering. Assume that the discount rate for Nagano Golf is 15 percent.

Project A: Nagano NP-30. Professional clubs that will take an initial investment of $550,000 at time 0. Next five years (years 15) of sales will generate a consistent cash flow of $185,000 per year. Introduction of new product at year 6 will terminate further cash flows from this project.

Project B: Nagano NX-20. High-end amateur clubs that will take an initial investment of $350,000 at time 0. Cash flow at year 1 is $100,000. In each subsequent year, cash flow will grow at 10 percent per year. Introduction of new product at year 6 will terminate further cash flows from this project.

Year NP-30 NX-20
0 $ 550,000 $ 350,000
1 185,000 100,000
2 185,000 110,000
3 185,000 121,000
4 185,000 133,100
5 185,000 146,410
