Bob Davies must decide whether to invest $100,000 in his own business or in another local business. Both investment projects have an expected life of five years. The cash flow of each is as follow:
Year
Davies
Other
1
$20,000
$10,000
2
$30,000
$10,000
3
$40,000
$30,000
4
$10,000
$40,000
5
$5,000
$50,000
Suppose the risk of the projects is the same and is accounted for by a risk premium of 6 percent per year. Would either investment make sense? Which would be better?
