is below:
Option 1: Initial investment of 10,000 with cash flows of 2,000 in years 1 and 2, and cash flow of 6,000 in year 3, with no cash flows in year 4.
Option 2: Initial investment of 5000 with cash flows of 1,000 in year 2, cash flows of 2,000 in year 3, and cash flows of 3,000 in year 4.
The discount rate is 15%.
