| Net present value | $48,560 | ? | $71,554 | ? |
Both projects have a positive net present value which means that both projects would generate more than a 10% return. However, if only one project can be chosen, it should be Project B. It provides the higher net present value and also the cash inflows are higher in the first year which means the company would recover the cost of the project sooner.
