Multiple Choice

Houston Inc. is considering a project which involves building a new refrigerated warehouse which will cost $7,000,000 at t = 0 and which is expected to have operating cash flows of $500,000 at the end of each of the next 20 years. However, repairs which will cost $1,000,000 must be incurred at the end of the 10th year.
