NPV of Y is positive but NPV of X is negative so Y should be chosen.

NPVY>NPVX so Y should be chosen.
e. IRR of X lies between 10 % and 12%
NPV at 10% = 1.4 , NPV at 12% = -1.05

Problem: The sales of a certain product during a five year period have been as
follows:
Y = a + bX
∑Y = na +b∑X
20600= 8a + 36b………………..(1)
Multiply by 9 in equation (1) and multiply by 2 in equation (2), then subtract (2)
from (1)
199800 = 72a+408b
20600−36×171.4286
a= = 1803.5714
