Silver Lining Inc. is considering two projects. Project A requires an investment of $41,000. Estimated annual receipts for 20 years are $25,000; estimated annual costs are $12,500. An alternative project, B, requires an investment of $80,000, has annual receipts for 20 years of $31,000, and has annual costs of $18,000. Assume both projects have a zero salvage value and that MARR is 10.0 percent/year. Projects are not mutually exclusive. What is the present worth of each project? Which project(s) should be chosen? Why?
