Uniform Annual Benefit $1,750 $1,850
Useful life, in years 4 8
Rate of return 7% 7%
Annuity factor 3.387 5.971
Present value of annuity $5,927.25 $11,046.35
Net cash flow $927.25 $1,846.35
b) Alternative B yields a higher return than Alternative A. Since the two alternatives are based on the same rate of return, Alternative B will bring in a higher annual benefit, even when discounted to the present value.

The level of racking that should be stocked first would be the top bay, followed by the middle bay, and the last level to be stocked would be the bottom bay. It's simpler to remember, "top, middle, then bottom" when putting away pallets of freight into multiple depth drive-in bays. I hope this helps!
