Question
Consider two projects, T and F, which are mutually exclusive, have unequal lives, and are
repeatable. Their cash flows are depicted in the table below:
Project Year O
Year 1
Year 2
Year 3
Year 4
T
-$105 million
$62 million
$62 million
F
-$105 million
$33 million
$33 million
$33 million
$33 million
Assuming a WACC of 7.5%, use the replacement chain approach (RCA) to compare the
projects and pick the better choice, given repetition. Note that the investment in project T
rises by 7% when repeated, but the other cash flows stay the same.
Project T is better as its NPV is higher by $89,657
O Project F is better as its NPV is higher by $89,657
O Project T is better as its NPV is higher by $797,274
O Project F is preferable without repetition, and T is preferable with repetition
O Project F is better as its NPV is higher by $797,274
