NPV profiles: timing differences
An oil drilling company must choose between two mutually exclusive extraction projects, and each costs $12.4 million. Under Plan A, all the oil would be extracted in 1 year, producing a cash flow at t = 1 of $14.88 million. Under Plan B, cash flows would be $2.2034 million per year for 20 years. The firm's WACC is 11.8%.
Construct NPV profiles for Plans A and B. Round your answers to two decimal places. Do not round your intermediate calculations. Enter your answers in millions. For example, an answer of $10,550,000 should be entered as 10.55. If an amount is zero enter "0". Negative value should be indicated by a minus sign.

Is it logical to assume that the firm would take on all available independent, average-risk projects with returns greater than 11.8%?
-Select-yesnoItem 18
If all available projects with returns greater than 11.8% have been undertaken, does this mean that cash flows from past investments have an opportunity cost of only 11.8%, because all the company can do with these cash flows is to replace money that has a cost of 11.8%?
