Expert Solution
Step 1

We need to discount the cash flows to find their present value as on 1/1/95. We can sum them to find the total net present value. 

Since we need to find the PV at a date two years previous to the first date mentioned, we will assume this is year 0. The earliest payment is therefore at the end of year 2, and the last payment is at the end of year 6.
