Answer 1

The correct timeline is D.

Since all inflows

b.Present value = 28,000*PVF(11%, 1 year)+ 25,000*PVF(11%, 2 years) + 10,000*PVF(11%, 3-9 years) + 20,000*PVF(11%, 10 years)

= 28,000*0.901 + 25,000*0.812 + 10,000*3.825 + 20,000*0.352

= $90,818

C. Should accept offer 1 since present value is higher
