AV. Consider, based on the criterion of Expected Net Present Value,
which of the two investments would you choose, given that the weighted average cost of capital in
the case of Investment A is estimated at 10%, Investment B at 8%, while the risk-free rate is 3%.
B/. Let's say at the end of the first year a prospective buyer comes along and makes an offer to buy
the investment you chose to implement in question a/. According to his offer, he intends to buy it
instead of the amount of 400,000 euros. Given his offer, justify whether or not it is profitable to sell
the investment at the end of the first year.
