=10-17 A real estate developer is considering three possible projects: a small apartment complex, a small shopping center, and a mini-warehouse. Each of these requires different funding over the next two years, and the net present value of the investments also varies. The following table provides the required investment amounts (in $1,000s) and the net present value (NPV) of each (also expressed in $1,000s):

$50,000 to invest in year 2.
