Consider two mutually exclusive alternatives and the do-nothing approach. Project X has an initial investment of $175 and annual positive cash flows of $65 for four years. Project Y has an initial investment of $88 and annual positive cash flows of $25 for four years. Determine the following: at what interest rates Project X would be attractive? at what interest rates would Project Y be attractive? at what interest rates would it be best to do nothing.
