Answer for 1st question is D
PV= FV(1+interest)^n
First project:
1st Year=120000/(1+0.05)^1=114285
2nd Year=120000/(1+0.05)^2=108843.54
3rd Year=120000/(1+0.05)^3=103660.07
=326788.61
Second project
1st Year =15000/(1+0.05)^1=14285.71
2nd Year=125000/(1+0.05)^2=113378.68
3rd Year=220000/(1+.05)^3=190043.45
=317707.84
326788.61 – 317707.84 / 317707.84 = 0.0286
%= 2.86 %
