14. The Arabian Oil Company is considering an investment that can be undertaken this year or postponed one year. The investment cash flows if the investment is undertaken now would be as follows: period 0, −$100; period 1, $200. The cash flows if it is delayed one period would be as follows: period 1, −$100; period 2, $200. Assume a time value of money of 0.05. Should the company invest now or delay one year? First use the internal rate of return method and then use the net present value method.
