2. You are a project manager with Striker Projects Pvt. Ltd. As the project manager, you need to evaluate two projects “Salient” and “Stylish”, and make a recommendation to management for the selection of a suitable project. Both the projects “Salient” and “Stylish” entail an initial investment of ₹5, 00,000. Projected cash inflows for the Project “Salient” are ₹1,50,000 in year 1; ₹1,60,000 in year 2; ₹1,70,000 in year 3, and ₹1,65,000 in year 4. Projected cash inflows for the Project “Stylish” are ₹1,40,000 in year 1; ₹1,40,000 in year 2; ₹1,40,000 in year 3, ₹1,25,000 in year 4; and ₹1,22,000 in year 5. The required rate of return is 10%. The present value of ₹1 at 10% is ₹0.909 for year 1, ₹0.826 for year 2, ₹0.751 for year 3, ₹0.683 for year 4, and ₹0.621 for year 5.
