Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

The NPV of both machines must be calculated and compared to determine which will yield a better return of cash flows. Machine A is calculated as one lump sum payable in 4 years minus the initial investment cost.

The NPV of Machine B is calculated as the present value of an ordinary annuity of

$13,000 for 4 years, minus the initial investment cost.

By comparing the NPV of both machines, Cliff would choose Machine A because NPV of A > NPV of B by $1,044.
