Lyndа is а mаnager оf an investment center. Her divisiоn has been perfоrming below expectations recently because one of its larger projects has not been as successful as anticipated. Given her division's poor performance, Lynda is facing pressure to improve her results. In particular, she has been informed that her division’s ROI (which was only about 9% last year) must improve significantly for her to retain her position as manager. If Lynda does not make any changes, she believes next year’s performance will be similar to the previous year. Specifically, Lynda’s division will have a net asset base of $530,000 and an expected operating income of $47,700. While evaluating how to proceed, Lynda determines that discontinuing ongoing projects is not viable. She discovers, however, the opportunity to invest in two additional independent projects. Both potential projects will only last one year, and any assets purchased with the initial outlay are expected to have zero salvage value at the end of the year (i.e., they are fully depreciated in one year.) Specific details regarding each project follow: Lynda is allowed complete autonomy over which projects her division invests in.
