$\begin{array}{c}NPV=\frac{{\text{CF}}_1}{{\left(\text{1}+r\right)}^1}+\frac{{\text{CF}}_2}{{\left(1+r\right)}^2}+\frac{{\text{CF}}_3}{{\left(1+r\right)}^3}+\frac{{\text{CF}}_4}{{\left(1+r\right)}^4}-I0\\ \end{array}$

b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The acceptability of each press based on NPV.

Introduction:
