You are to present two mutually exclusive projects $$A$$ and $$B$$ to the murder board of

your project organisation. The aim of project $$A$$ is to purchase and install solar panels for

Ghanaian homes to address the $$dunsor$($electricity cuts$)$ challenges. The aim of project $$B$$ is to purchase supersonic high$-$speed trains to connect cities in Ghana, to ease the pressure on the Ghanaian transportations system. The Ghana Government borrows from the World Bank Group at a discount rate for both projects at $10\%,$ with the following cashflows for project $$A$$ in million: $($$$10,000,000),$ $$4,000,000,$ $$4000,000,$ $$4000,000,$ $$2000,000,$ $$4,000,0000.$ Project $$B$$ has the following cash flows in millions: $($$$10,000,000),$ $$2,000,000,$ $$3000,000,$ $$5000,000,$ $$7000,000,$ $$5,000,0000.$

Required:

i$)$ Determine the Net present values of both projects, and explain the reasons, which of

the projects you would like the murder board to reject

ii$)$ Determine the non$-$discounted payback period for both projects, and explain the

reasons, which project you would like the murder board to reject.

$5$B$).$ Study the Table below and answer the questions that follow

Required

i$)$ Determine the expected duration $($Beta Distribution$)$ of each activity and analyse your

answer in relation to the project activities schedule.

ii$)$ Determine the beta of each activity standard deviation and analyse your answer in

relation to the project activities schedule.

iii$)$ Determine the Range of the Estimate for each activity duration and analyse your

answer in relation to the project activities schedule.
