Below is the schedule of cash flows for Investment PEK and Investment PVG.
Using the NPV, and IRR as criteria, which between Investment PEK and Investment PVG will you choose? Which is the best decision criterion? Justify your answer. Note that your capital outlay for Investment PEK is RMB 85,000.00 and your capital outlay for Investment PVG is also RMP 85,000.00. Assume that the interest rate is 10%.
How will your answer in (1) change if the interest rate increases by 5%?
How will your answer in (1) change if the interest rate decreases by 5%?
