Singing Fish Fine Foods has $ 2,090,000 for capital investments this year and is considering two potential projects for the funds. Project 1 is updating the store's deli section for additional food service. The estimated after-tax cash flow of this project is $
580,000 per year for the next five years. Project 2 is updating the store's wine section. The estimated annual after-tax cash flow for this project is $
500,000 for the next six years. If the appropriate discount rate for the deli expansion is
9.7% and the appropriate discount rate for the wine section is
9.0%, use the NPV to determine which project Singing Fish should choose for the store. Adjust the NPV for unequal lives with the equivalent annual annuity. Does the decision change?
