Answer:
1. NPV calculation
Option 1 ( with Greewood fertilizer) : $2.256
Option 2 ( with Peter's Fertilizer) : $3.835
2. Rate of return calculation:
Option 1: 45.12%
Option 2: 95.875%
Option 2 should be chosen as it provides higher NPV.
Explanation:
1. The detailed calculation for each option is:
Option 1: Present value of sales proceed - initial cost = (8/1.05^2) - 5 = $2.256
Option 2: Present value of sales proceed - initial cost = (10/1.05^5) - 4 = $3.835.
2. The detailed calculation for each option is:
Option 1: NPV/Initial cost = 2.256/5= 45.12%
Option 2: NPV/Initial cost =3.835/10 = 95.875%
To assess which option should be picked with the assumption of infinite time horizon, NPV should be key driver. As Option 2 has higher NPV, Option 2 is chosen.
