Steam engine brought about advancement in transportation and trade by powering locomotives and steamships which carried both goods and people to distant places in record time. Over the years, knowledge continue to increase and new inventions emerge, these include diesel and electric trains. Today, steam engines are no longer in use. Those that exist are used for historical, entertainment and educational purposes.
Answer:
R is a better alternative because it has a higher NPV than Q.

Using a financial calculator, I calculated the NPV using a 12% discount rate:
- Q's NPV = $200,636.15
- R's NPV = $259,221.01
