Net Present Value-Unequal Lives Project 1 requires an original investment of $65,100. The project will yield cash flows of $12,000 per year for eight years. Project 2 has a computed net present value of $12,100 over a six-year life. Project 1 could be sold at the end of six years for a price of $48,000. Use the Present Value of $1 at Compound Interest and the Present Value of an Annuity of $1 at Compound Interest tables shown below.
