    Investment A

    Explanation:

    We need to find the NPV of two investments

    NPV (A) = - 10000 + 11500 (P/F, 5%, 2)

    = - 10000 + 11500*0.90703

    = 431

    NPV (B) = - 8000 + 4500 (P/A, 5%, 2)

    = - 8000 + 4500*1.8594

    = 367

    Since NPV (A) > NPV (B) we select alternative A.
