Using the net present value method, the present value of cash inflows for Project A is P44,000 and the present value of cash inflows of Project B is P24,000. If Project A and Project B require initial investments of P40,000 and P20,000, respectively, and have the same useful life, what is the project that should be accepted assuming the projects are mutually exclusive projects?
