Answer:

B should be selected.

Explanation:

Below is the calculation of net present worth:

Present value of A = -500000 - 25000 * (P/A, 7%,18)

Present value = -500000 - 25000 * 10.059087  

Present value = -751477.17

Present value of B = -640000 - 10000 * (P/A, 7%,18)

Present value = -640000 - 10000 * 10.059087

Present value = -740590.87

The present value of B is lower so it will be selected.
