The capital budget for the year will only allow Swanson industries to accept one of the four projects. Given the discount rates and the future cash flows of each project, which project should they accept?
Cash Flows Project M Project N Project O Project P
Year one $500,000 $600,000 $1,000,000 $300,000
Year two $500,000 $600,000 $800,000 $500,000

Solution, find the NPV of each project and compare the NPVs.
Project M’s NPV = -$2,000,000 + $500,000/1.05 + $500,000/1.052 + $500,000/1.053 + $500,000/1.054 + $500,000/1.055
Project M’s NPV = -$2,000,000 + $476,190.48 + $453,514.74 + $431,918.80 + $411,351.24 + $391,763.08
Project N’s NPV = $164,738.34
Project N’s NPV = -$2,000,000 + $600,000/1.09 + $600,000/1.092 + $600,000/1.093 + $600,000/1.094 + $600,000/1.095
Project N’s NPV = -$2,000,000 + $550,458.72 + $505,008.00 + $463,331.09 + $425,055.13 + $389,958.83
Project N’s NPV = $333,790.77
Project O’s NPV = -$2,000,000 + $1,000,000/1.15 + $800,000/1.152 + $600,000/1.153 + $400,000/1.154 + $200,000/1.155
Project O’s NPV = -$2,000,000 + $869,565.22 + $604,914.93 + $394,509.74 + $228,701.30 + $99,435.34
Project O’s NPV = $197,126.53
Project P’s NPV = -$2,000,000 + $300,000/1.22 + $500,000/1.222 + $700,000/1.223 + $900,000/1.224 + $1,100,000/1.225
Project P’s NPV = -$2,000,000 + $245,901.64 + $335,931.20 + $385,494.82 + $406,259.18 + $406,999.18
Project P’s NPV =-$219,413.98 (would reject project regardless of budget)
And the ranking order based on NPVs is,
Project N – NPV of $333,790.77
Project O – NPV of $197,126.53
Project M – NPV of $164,738.34
Project P – NPV of -$219,413.98

buyer and adjusting the value of 3 sets against the amount due. The sets repossessed
were valued on the basis of 30% depreciation p.a. on the written down value. The
sets repossessed were sold by the Television Co. for Rs. 30,000 after necessary
