Net Present Value$-$Unequal Lives

Project $1$ requires an original investment of $$49,400.$ The project will yield cash flows of $$10,000$ per year for seven years. Project $2$ has a calculated net present value of $$11,400$ over a five$-$year life. Project $1$ could be sold at the end of five years for a price of $$36,000.$

Use the Present Value of $$1$ at Compound Interest and the Present Value of an Annuity of $$1$ at Compound Interest tables shown below.
