    a. 5 year plan will be chosen.

    b. Immediately must be chosen

    c. Immediately must be chosen

    Explanation:

    Present value of inflows = cash inflow / (1+r) ^n

    a. 0 % per year

    Present value of inflows = $140,000 / (1) ⁵

    Present value of inflows = $140,000

    5 year plan will be chosen.

    b. 8 % per year

    Present value of inflows = $140,000 / (1.08) ⁵

    Present value of inflows = $140,000 / 1.469328

    Present value of inflows = $95,281.6526

    Immediately must be chosen

    c. 20 % per year?

    Present value of inflows = $140,000 / (1.20) ⁵

    Present value of inflows = $140,000 / 2.48832

    Present value of inflows = $56,262.8601

    Immediately must be chosen
