Explanation / Answer

1. Present value of A=30000/1.13+25000/1.13^2+20000/1.13^3+15000/1.13^4+10000/1.13^5=74615.723

2. Present value of B=10000/1.13+15000/1.13^2+20000/1.13^3+25000/1.13^4+30000/1.13^5=66073.527

We see the present value of A is higher because even though total cash flow is same but present valuebis higher because higher cash flows is being realized in the initial years leading to high present value
