e. $424,228

Can you provide a step-by-step process and the functions for a financial calculator

Answer 1

The answer is "Option b".

Step-by-step explanation:

When the typo-It should be the last for 15 years:

`NPV=-5* (25000+15000)+0.33* (250000)/(14\%) * (1-(1)/(1.14^(15)))`

After solving the equation we get

`=306728.85878 \\\\=\$ 306729\\\\`

When it was the last 25 years

`NPV=-5*(25000+15000)+0.33* (250000)/(14\%)*(1-(1)/(1.14^(25)))=367016.51358`
