Project A   Project B
Probability Cash Flows   Probability Cash Flows
0.2 $6,250   0.2 $0  
0.6 $7,000   0.6 $7,000  
0.2 $7,750   0.2 $18,000  

 

BPC has decided to evaluate the riskier project at 11% and the less-risky project at 10%.

  1. What is each project's expected annual cash flow? Round your answers to the nearest cent.
    Project A: $   
    Project B: $
