Using the company's 14% required rate of return, determine which method leads to the greater NPVand the amount by which if exceeds the other alternative.b. Is there a required rate of return where the two methods would provide identical NPV's? If so, whatis it?

With the information provided, I will compute the net present value (NPV) for both the straight-line…
