Answer #1

Part 1

The PW of Alternative A is $(108236)

Present worth = present value of all cash flows

Present worth of alternative A = -55000-(5000/(1.11^1))-(5500/(1.11^2))-(6000/(1.11^3))-(6500/(1.11^4))-(7000/(1.11^5))-(7500/(1.11^6))-(8000/(1.11^7))-(8500/(1.11^8))-(9000/(1.11^9))-(9500/(1.11^10))-(10000/(1.11^11))-(10500/(1.11^12))-(5000/(1.11^3))-(5000/(1.11^6))-(5000/(1.11^9))-(5000/(1.11^2))+(10000/(1.11^12)) = -108236

Part 2

The PW of Alternative B is $(68895)

Present worth of alternative B = -25000-(10000/(1.11^1))-(11000/(1.11^2))-(12000/(1.11^3))-(1300/(1.11^4))-(14000/(1.11^5))-(15000/(1.11^6)) = -68895

Alternative B is recommended and should be considered as the present worth is higher than alternative A
