Answer:
I will be preferable the first project as their present value is greater than project 2
Explanation:
We will calcualte the discounted cash flow at the given rate of 6% and then compare with the initial invesmtnet
Project 1
-20,000
+8,000 / 1.06
+15,000 /1.06^2
NPV 897.12
If used 5% interest rate
-20,000
+8,000 / 1.05
+15,000 /1.05^2
NPV 1224.49
Project 2
-10,000
+ 3,000/1.06
+ X/1.06^2
+14,000/1.06^3
NPV 897.12
X = -4143.543138
There is a second investment of 4,143.54
If discounted at 5%
-10,000
+3,000/1.05
-4,143.54/1.05^2
+14,000/1.05^3
1192.556311
Difference: 1,192.55 - 1,224.49
