You must show all your calculations for credit. Your calculations for this assignment must be submitted as a separate Excel file. 

Prepare a PowerPoint presentation outlining all these scenarios and be sure to highlight the importance of the time value of money as one of the considerations.  

Make a recommendation as to which scenario you feel is the best option and outline your reasoning for that determination. Also, explain if you consider there may be other factors that should be considered.

The PowerPoint presentation must meet the following structural requirements. In addition to the slide presentation, submit the Excel spreadsheet with your calculations. 

Your presentation should meet the following structural requirements:

• Organized, using professional themes and      transitions.
• It should consist of nine slides, not      including the title and reference slides.
• Each slide must provide detailed      speaker’s notes, with a minimum of 100 words per slide. Notes must draw      from and cite relevant reference materials. 
• Provide support for your statements with      in-text citations from a minimum of six scholarly articles. Two of these      sources may be from the class readings, textbook, or lectures, but the      other four must be external. The Saudi Digital Library is a good place to      find these references.
