    B) Children's clothing only

    Explanation:

    cost of the expansion $148,000

    three mutually exclusive projects:

    NPV $221,000 for children's clothing ≥ $148,000 (initial investment) NPV $178,000 for exclusive gifts ≥ $148,000 initial investment NPV $145,000 for decorator items ≤ $148,000 initial investment

    The projects whose NPV is positive should be considered (this eliminates decorator items)

    Since the projects are mutually exclusive, only one can be chosen. So the project with the highest NPV is the best project for the store ⇒ children's clothing
