Explanation:

First method

The PV of the investment can be written as:

PV1 = $15,000 + $32,500/(1+0.06)^n

Second method

The PV of the investment can be written as:

PV2 = $23,000 + $23,000/(1+0.06)^n

After n years both projects will be economically equal. Hence their present value must be equal PV1 = PV2

$15,000 + $32,500/(1.06)^n = $23,000 + $23,000/(1.06)^n

$23,000 - $15,000 = $32,500/(1.06)^n - $23,000/(1.06)^n

$8,000 = $9,500/(1.06)^n

(1.06)^n = $9,500/$8,000

(1.06)^n = 1.1875

Taking log on both sides we get:

nlog1.06 = log 1.1875

n = log 1.1875/log 1.06

n = 0.07463361829/0.02530586526

n = 2.94926166417121

n = 3

So, the answer is 3 years

= $56666.67 + $133,333.33 + $12,000

= $202,000 shares

The 4 months are calculated from January 1 to May 1, 2015

And, the 8 months are calculated from May 1 to December 31
