Choosing Between Mutually Exclusive Projects
Two Sticky Situations:
1. Choice between long- and short-lived projects: Should the firm save money today by investing in shorter-lived projects (such as less durable machinery)? ⇒ This is a job for Equivalent Annual Annuities 2. Investment timing and replacement decisions: ⇒ Should you invest in a new computer system today or invest in a new computer system next year? ⇒ When should existing machinery be replaced?

Equivalent Annual Annuities
Example: • You own a hotel in Bend. The location is killer but the place is run down. • Remodeling will cost you $100,000 but generate cash flows of $50,000 per year for the next five years. • Rebuilding will cost you $300,000 but generate cash flows of $66,000 per year for the next ten years. • Your opportunity cost of capital is 10% Cash Flows:
