Prime Paints is in the process of evaluating two mutually exclusive additions to its processing capacity. The firm's financial analysts have developed pessimistic, most likely, and optimistic estimates of the annual cash inflows associated with each project. These estimates are shown in the following table. a. The range of annual cash inflows for project A is $ . (Round to the nearest dollar.) The range of annual cash inflows for project B is $ . (Round to the nearest dollar.) b. Assume that the firm's cost of capital is 10.4 % and that both projects have 20-year lives. Complete the NPV table below for project A: (Round to two decimal points.) NPVs Outcome Project A Pessimistic $ Most Likely $ Optimistic $ Range $ Complete the NPV table below for project B: (Round to two decimal points.) NPVs Outcome Project B Pessimistic $ Most Likely $ Optimistic $ Range $ c. Based on the findings above, we can conclude that Project (enter 'A' or 'B') is more risky than Project (enter 'A' or 'B'). Project (enter 'A' or 'B') has the possibility of a greater return.
QUESTION 1 Prime Paints is in the process of evaluating two mutually exclusive additions to its processing capac ty. The firm's financial analysts have developed pessimistic, most likely, and optimistic estimates of the annual cash Intiows associated with each project. These estimates are shown in the following table.
