Capital budgeting:
Analyzing alternative long-

which assets to acquire or sell.

Most capital budgeting techniques use
annual net cash flow.
Depreciation is not a cash outflow.

Zero . . .
Acceptable, since it promises a

Using the present value of an annuity (table 2)
PV of inflows = $20,000 × 5.650 = $113,000
NPV = $113,000 - $96,000 = $17,000

Note that the NPV is smaller
using the larger interest rate.
Using the present value of an annuity (table 2)
