Explanation / Answer

Hi,


Please find the answer as follows:


NPW of X = -6000 + 810/(1+.12)^1 + 810/(1+.12)^2 + 810/(1+.12)^3 + 810/(1+.12)^4 + 810/(1+.12)^5 + 810/(1+.12)^6 + 810/(1+.12)^7 + 810/(1+.12)^8 + 810/(1+.12)^9 + 810/(1+.12)^10 + 810/(1+.12)^11+ 810/(1+.12)^12+ 810/(1+.12)^13+ 810/(1+.12)^14+ 810/(1+.12)^15+ 810/(1+.12)^16+ 810/(1+.12)^17+ 810/(1+.12)^18+ 810/(1+.12)^19+ 810/(1+.12)^20 = 50.249 or 50.25


NPW of Y = -1000 + 125/12% = 41.67


NPW of Z = -1500 + 230/(1+.12)^1 + 230/(1+.12)^2 + 230/(1+.12)^3 + 230/(1+.12)^4 + 230/(1+.12)^5 + 230/(1+.12)^6 + 230/(1+.12)^7 + 230/(1+.12)^8 + 230/(1+.12)^9 + 230/(1+.12)^10 = -200.45


Thanks.
