The company requires a 15 percent rate of return. Which project should the company select and why?

A.  Project 1, because the annual cash flows are greater by $4,000 than those of Project 2

B.  Project 1, because the present value of its cash inflows exceeds those of Project 2 by $14,211.62

C.  Project 2, because the total cash inflows are $72,000 greater than those of Project 1

D.  Project 2, because the present value of the cash inflows exceeds those of Project 1 by $18,598.33

E.  It does not matter as both projects have almost identical present values.
