a) NPV of Opportunity 1 at 6%: $X; NPV of Opportunity 2 at 6%: $Y; NPV of Opportunity 1 at 10%: $Z; NPV of Opportunity 2 at 10%: $W
b) NPV of Opportunity 1 at 6%: $Y; NPV of Opportunity 2 at 6%: $X; NPV of Opportunity 1 at 10%: $W; NPV of Opportunity 2 at 10%: $Z
c) NPV of Opportunity 1 at 6%: $X; NPV of Opportunity 2 at 6%: $Y; NPV of Opportunity 1 at 10%: $W; NPV of Opportunity 2 at 10%: $Z
d) NPV of Opportunity 1 at 6%: $Y; NPV of Opportunity 2 at 6%: $X; NPV of Opportunity 1 at 10%: $Z; NPV of Opportunity 2 at 10%: $W
