Answer:

The manager should pick project B

Explanation:

To determine what decision the manager should make, the NPV of both projects should be calculated.

Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator

NPV for project A

Cash flows:

Year 0 = $-335,000

year 1 = $140,000

year 2 = $150,000

year 3 = $100,000

I = 6%

NPV= $14,536.87

NPV for project B

Cash flows:

Year 0 = $-365,000

year 1 = $220,000

year 2 = $110,000

year 3 = $150,000

I = 6%

NPV= $66,389.67

Both projects are profitable but because the firm uses capital rationing , the manager has to pick the now profitbale project, which is project B.

To find the NPV using a financial calacutor:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

3. Press compute

<span>This is an example of "Non-normative life event".


Non-normative life events refers to those events that happen surprisingly, for example, catastrophic events, loss of a relative and war or winning a lottery which is unexpected. Indeed, even in cases that passing or sickness, in particular ages, are factually viewed as regularizing, they are really non-regulating. They are as yet startling and undesired occasions, related with serious impacts. Non-normative events might be included both negative and positive occasions, for example, passing of a darling individual or winning in a lottery. Be that as it may, in the two cases, they are unexpected and slightly related to chronological age.</span>
