Below the crossover rate, the preferred alternative is generally the one with

  • A.the shorter life
  • B.the smaller salvage value
  • C.the higher first cost
  • D.the lower first cost

Answer: C

Correct answer: the higher first cost

At low discount rates, distant receipts retain most of their value, so the larger project - which typically has bigger cash flows further out - wins. As the rate rises those distant flows are penalised more heavily, and above the crossover rate the smaller, quicker-returning project takes the lead.
