Project Q
Discount rate	12.200%
Year	0	1	2
Cash flow stream	-257412	123300	180300
Discounting factor	1.000	1.122	1.259
Discounted cash flows project	-257412.000	109893.048	143222.092
NPV = Sum of discounted cash flows
NPV Project Q =	-4296.86
Where
Discounting factor =	(1 + discount rate)^(Corresponding period in years)
Discounted Cashflow=	Cash flow stream/discounting factor

Project R
Discount rate	12.200%
Year	0	1	2
Cash flow stream	-349000	184500	230600
Discounting factor	1.000	1.122	1.259
Discounted cash flows project	-349000.000	164438.503	183178.116
NPV = Sum of discounted cash flows
NPV Project R =	-1383.38
Where
Discounting factor =	(1 + discount rate)^(Corresponding period in years)
Discounted Cashflow=	Cash flow stream/discounting factor

Reject both as NPVs are negative
