Your client is investigating two start-up companies that operate in the same construction sector in Australia. These two companies are investigating similar projects (not both) in which they will invest. However, your client is not sure which is better and has sent the relevant details to you to advise. The characteristics of the two projects are given below:
(picture)
Your client wishes you to provide detailed calculations indicating which project you believe to be the best. The client will then decide whether to invest into the company looking to invest in the project
