Explanation / Answer

1.

a)

Present value of Investment X=3700*((1-(1+6%)^(-9))/6%)=25166.26

Present value of Investment Y=5500*((1-(1+6%)^(-5))/6%)=23168.00

b) Investment X has higher present value

2.

a)

Present value of Investment X=3700*((1-(1+22%)^(-9))/22%)=14009.25

Present value of Investment Y=5500*((1-(1+22%)^(-5))/22%)=15750.02

b) Investment Y has higher present value

the above is answer..
