CAPITAL BUDGETING CRITERIA: MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE PROJECTS Project S requires an initial outlay at t = 0 of 17,000, and its expected cash flows would be 5,000 per year for 5 years. Mutually exclusive Project L requires an initial outlay at t = 0 of 30,000, and its expected cash flows would be 8,750 per year for 5 years. If both projects have a WACC of 12%, which project would you recommend? Explain.
