This will cost $46,000 up front and $11,000 semiannually (at the end of every six months) for 14 years. Assume all interest is 2.19% compounded semi-annually. Round the answers to NPV (Option 1), and NPV (Option 2) to the nearest dollar. Round all other answers to two decimal places where applicable
