Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

1A. For investment X, given 6% discount rate, 6700 PMT, N= 9 years

Present value of investment X= 6700* PVIF using 6%, 9 years

= $45751.34

For investment Y, given 6% discount rate, 9200 PMT, N= 5 years

Present value of investment Y =9200*PVIF using 6%, 9 years

=$38753.75

1B. Investment X from the above has higher present value

2A. For investment X, given 22% discount rate, 6700 PMT, N = 9 years

Present value of investment X

=6700*PVIF using 22% ,9 years

= $25368.11

For investment Y, given 22% discount rate, 9200 PMT, N = 5 years

Present value of investment X

=9200*PVIF using 22% ,N = 5 years

= $26345.49

2B. Investment Y from the above has higher present value.
