Lainey Briggs · Answer 1

(NPV) Net present value method is the most effective capital budgeting method

Explanation:

we know here

initial after minus tax cost = $5,000,000

after minus tax cash flows in 1st year = $1,800,000

and in 2nd year = $2,900,000

and in 3rd year = $2,700,000

and 4th year is = $2,300,000

so here cash outflows even after the initial outlay in year 0

so we not use here IRR

so that best and most most effective capital budgeting method is NPV net present value

we use it NPV
