Further, the organizations use the net present value as a measure of comparing the profitability tomake sure that the most economic ventures are influenced. Also, the greater net present value demonstrates the investment or the project is more profitable (Horngren et al., 2013). According to the net present value, the proposal D will be more suitable and profitable for the XYZ Company because the NPV is £726,487.4 which is much higher as compared to other four proposals which have the values £150,092.2, £119,535.2, £126,759, £433,863.7 respectively.

Further, the payback period of the provided project or investment is the significant determinant of whether to consider to project or not. Moreover, the payback periods are not considered desirable for the positions of the investments. It completely ignores the value of the money. The payback period doesn’t represent the exact image of the company when it comes to appraising the project’s cash flows (Horngren et al., 2012). According to the result of the payback period for the each proposal. It can be clearly said that the proposal A is the most suitable one for the XYZ Company as compared to the other proposals because the value of the payback period is 1.9 years. Further, the value of other proposals is 7 years, 3 years, 2 years and 3.5 years respectively. It can be clearly seen that there is no such difference between the values of proposal A and proposal D. Therefore, the company XYZ can also use the proposal D instead of proposal A.
