[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] Most Company has an opportunity to invest in one of two new projects. Project Y requires a $330,000 investment for new machinery with a four-year life and no salvage value. Project Z requires a $330,000 investment for new machinery with a three-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. (PV of $1, FV of $1, PVA of $1, and FVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)

4. Determine each projects net present value using 6% as the discount rate. Assume that cash flows occur at each year-end. (Round your intermediate calculations.)
