NPV of project A= -1000+(5000/1.1)+(4000/1.1^2)+(-11000/1.1^3)= $-1413.223

NPV of project B= -2000+(500/1.1)+(1400/1.1^2)+(1000/1.1^3)+(1000/1.1^4)+(1000/1.1^5)= $1666.82

NPV of project C= -3000+(2000/1.1)+(2000/1.1^2)-(3000/1.1^3)+(2000/1.1^4)+(1000/1.1^5)= $204.078

Since the NPV of project B and C is positive we can accept B and C
