Assume that two investments both have a three-year life span and they will generate
the following cash flows at the end of each year. If the appropriate discount rate is
7%, which of the two would you prefer?
Year Investment A Investment B
1 $1,000 $1,200
2 $1,000 $1,000
3 $1,000 $800
Investment B, because even though the total CFs from both projects equal
$3,000, B gives you the largest cash flows in earlier years
Investment A, since it has the most even cash flows
Neither, since they both have equal lives
Both investments are equally attractive
None of the above
