Project A -1000 500 500 500
Project B -800 550 575  

2. Assume that the discount rate is 15% per year. If you were planning to repeat one of these projects over and over again forever, which one would you choose and why? (6)

This is an EAA problem. First calculate the NPVs and then the EAAs.

Take project B because it provides more benefit per year. That is, once we actually compare the projects on a year-by-year basis, it is clear that B will create more value.
