Answer:

a. project A; because its NPV is about $335 more than the NPV of project B.

Explanation:

As in the question it is mentioned that the required rate of return for project A and project B is 11.25% and 10.75% respectively.

Here we have to determined the net present value for both projects having different required rate of return

So based on the net present value the first option is correct as the project A is more than the project B

Therefore the first option should be accepted
