Most Company has an opportunity to invest in one of two new projects. Project Y requires a $345,000 investment for new machinery with a six-year life and no salvage value. Project Z requires a $345,000 investment for new machinery with a five-year life and no salvage value. The two projects yield the following predicted annual results. The company uses straight-line depreciation, and cash flows occur evenly throughout each year. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1 and PVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)
