Explanation / Answer

Answer a.

Amount Invested = $25,000
Amount received in one year is $1,250, $3,750 in two years and $25,000 in ten years from now.

Interest rate = 6%

NPV = -$25,000 + $1,250/1.06 + $3,750/1.06^2 + $25,000/1.06^10
NPV = -$6,523

So, Opportunity should be rejected as NPV is negative.

Answer b.

Amount Invested = $25,000
Amount received in one year is $1,250, $3,750 in two years and $25,000 in ten years from now.

Interest rate = 2%

NPV = -$25,000 + $1,250/1.02 + $3,750/1.02^2 + $25,000/1.02^10
NPV = $339

So, Opportunity should be accepted as NPV is positive.
