a.

Project B:

 

Initial investment

$(50,000)

 

Present value of net cash return, by year(s):

 

 

  Years 3-5 = $20,000 * (0.6750 + 0.5921 + 0.5194)

35,730

 

  Year 6-10 = $12,000 * (5.2161 - 3.4331) 

   21,396

 

Net present value

$   7,126

 

 

 

 

Project C:

 

 

Initial investment

$(100,000)

 

Present value of net cash return, by year(s):

 

 

  Years 1-5 = $32,000 * 3.4331

 109,859

 

Net present value

$   9,859

 

 

 

 

Project D:

 

 

Initial investment

$(100,000)

 

Present value of net cash return, by year(s):

 

 

  Year 1 = $10,000 * 0.8772 

8,772

 

  Year 2 = $20,000 * 0.7695 

15,390

 

  Year 3 = $30,000 * 0.6750

20,250

 

  Year 4 = $40,000 * 0.5921 

23,684

 

  Year 5 = $50,000 * 0.5194 

    25,970

 

Net present value
