NPV = PV of Cash Inflows - PV of Cash Outflows

EAA = PV of Cash Outflow / PVAF(r%, n)

		Supplier 1		Supplier 2
Year	PVF @16%	CF	Disc CF	CF	Disc CF
0	1.0000	$ -140.00	$ -140.00	$ -190.00	$ -190.00
1	0.8621	$ -110.00	$ -94.83	$ -80.00	$ -68.97
2	0.7432	$ -110.00	$ -81.75	$ -80.00	$ -59.45
3	0.6407	$ -110.00	$ -70.47	$ -80.00	$ -51.25
4	0.5523	$ -110.00	$ -60.75	$ -80.00	$ -44.18
5	0.4761			$ -80.00	$ -38.09
6	0.4104			$ -80.00	$ -32.84
NPV or PV of Cash outflow			$ -447.80		$ -484.78
PVAF(r%,n)			2.80		3.68
EAA			-160.03		-131.56

Based on NPV, Supplier 1 is selected as it has lesser PV of Cash Outflows

Based on EAA, Supplier 2 is selected as it has lesser EAA.
