Answer:

Investment "B" is superior.

Explanation:

Below is the calculation of each investment net present worth.

Net present worth of Investment A = -12000 + 15500(P/F, 5%, 2)

Net present worth of investment A = -12000 + 15500 (0.9070)

Net present worth of investment A = 2058.95

Net present worth of Investment B = -8000+ 6000(P/A, 5%, 2)

Net present worth of investment B = -8000 + 6000 (1.8594)

Net present worth of investment B = 3156.4

Investment "B" is superior because its net present worth is greater.
