Financial Management
Touchtone Pty Ltd is considering investing in either of two competing projects that will allow the company to eliminate a production bottleneck and meet the growing demand for its products. The company's engineering department narrowed the alternatives down to two - Status Quo (SQ) and High Tech (HT). Working with the accounting and finance personnel, the company's CFO developed the following estimates of the cash flows for SQ and HT over the relevant 6-year time horizon. The firm has an 11 per cent required return and views these projects as equally risky.
