Consider two projects, T and F, which are mutually exclusive, have unequal lives, and are repeatable. Their cash flows are depicted in the table below: Project Year O Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 T -$105 million $62 million $62 million F -$105 million $33 million $33 million $33 million $33 million Assuming a WACC of 7.5%, use the replacement chain approach (RCA) to compare the projects and pick the better choice, given repetition. Note that the investment in project T rises by 7% when repeated, but the other cash flows stay the same. Project T is better as its NPV is higher by $89,657 O Project F is better as its NPV is higher by $89,657 O Project T is better as its NPV is higher by $797,274 O Project F is preferable without repetition, and T is preferable with repetition O Project F is better as its NPV is higher by $797,274
