Select the best alternative based on future worth method at i = 12%.
Given data
Method = Future worth method - revenue dominated cash flow
i = 12%
n = 4
Proposal X
P = . 40,00,000
R1 = R2 = R3 = R4 = A = . 15,00,000
S = . 0
Proposal Y
P = . 35,00,000
R1 = R2 = R3 = R4 = A = . 12,00,000
S = . 0
Formula used
Here revenue on all years is equal.
Therefore, FW(i) = -P (F/P, i, n) + A (F/A, i, n) + S


Solution
Alternative X
FW(12%)1   = - 40,00,000 (F/P, 12%, 4)+ 15,00,000 (F/A, 12%, 4) + 0
= - 40,00,000 (1.574) + 15,00,000 (4.779)
= - 62,96,000 + 71,68,500
FW(12%)1   = . 8,72,500
Alternative Y
FW(12%)2   = - 35,00,000 (F/P, 12%, 4)+  12,00,000 (F/A, 12%, 4) + 0
= - 35,00,000 (1.574)+ 12,00,000 (4.779)
= - 55,09,000 + 57,34,800
FW(12%)2   = . 2,25,800
Result
In future worth method revenue dominated cash flow, the alternative which has maximum future worth amount is the best alternative. Therefore the alternative X is the best alternative.
