    Instructions are listed below.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Io = - 10,000

    Cf1 = 500

    Cf2 = 1,500

    Cf3 = 10,000

    Based on this information and using the following formula, we need to calculate the net present value:

    NPV = - Io + ∑[Cf / (1+i) ^n]

    Cf = cash flow

    A) i = 0.12

    Cf1 = 500/1.12 = 446.43

    Cf2 = 1,500/1.12^2 = 1,195.80

    Cf3 = 10,000/1.12^3 = 7,117.80

    Total = 8,760

    NPV = - 10,000 + 8,760 = - 1,240

    Under these circumstances, the investment shouldn't be done.

    B) i = 0.08

    Cf1 = 500/1.08 = 462.96

    Cf2 = 1,500/1.08^2 = 1,286

    Cf3 = 10,000/1.08^3 = 7,983.32

    Total = 9,732.28

    NPV = - 10,000 + 9,732.28 = 267.72

    Under these circumstances, the investment shouldn't be done.
