Textbook Question
Chapter 3, Problem 5AP
Consider the following opportunities: Opportunity 1 requires a $4,000 cash payment now (year 0) but will result in $14,000 cash received in year 5. Opportunity 2 requires no cash outlay and results in $3,500 cash received in years 3 and 5.
- a. Use a 6 percent discount rate and determine whether Opportunity 1 or Opportunity 2 results in a greater
NPV . - b. Use a 10 percent discount rate and determine whether Opportunity 1 or Opportunity 2 results in a greater NPV.

Investment X offers to pay you $5,300 per year for eight years, whereas Investment Y offers to pay you $7,300 per year for five years. Which of these cash flow streams has a higher present value if
the discount rate is 5% ? If the discount rate is 15% ? (Solve this using excel formula and provide formulas, also solve this using a financial calcuator solution. Show your work please)
