. We have two mutually exclusive investments with the following cash flows:                                                                                                   Year Investment A Investment B 0 –$100 –$100 1 10 50 2 30 40 3 50 30 4 70 20   b. Calculate the NPV profile for each investment, using the discount rates of 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25%. Perform this task in an Excel spreadsheet. Cautionary note: If you use the =NPV() function in Excel to calculate the NPVs, it will provide incorrect answers. The NPV() function actually calculates the present value of all cash inflows. The NPV should be calculated as =NPV(all cash inflows) – initial cash outflow.
