Your company asked you to evaluate two potential projects. These projects are active for 10 years and have no salvage life. Both have the same upfront costs, but the revenue stream from each of the projects is subject to variation, so risk is involved.
You are given the following information:
Firm's cost of capital: 10%
Each project will require three years of investment before revenues are generated.
The following cost distribution is given:
| |
