The first investment opportunity will have a three-year useful life, will cost $7,492.75, and will generate expected cash inflows of $2,700 per year. The second investment is expected to have a useful life of three years, will cost $7,211.87, and will generate expected cash inflows of $2,900 per year. Assume that V&K has the funds available to accept only one of the opportunities. (PV of $1 and PVA of $1)
