Mark's hair salon is considering buying airtime for a television commercial to spread the word about their services and get clients during non-peak hours. Alternatively, they could invest in a cheaper newspaper ad campaign. They forecasted the following cash flows for the two options:

Television: Investment of $6,750 would increase profits by $5,300 in the 1st year and $4,100 in the 2nd year.

Newspaper: Investment of $1,250 today would increase profits by $1,100 in the 1st year and $700 in the 2nd year.

The cost of capital is 17.00%.
