It is clear from the table, by paying monthly installments of $2500, Ron and Robin would not be able to cover the full interest amount for the first month. As the result, the due interest would be added with the principal amount in the next month and subsequently increase the amount of interest in the next month. In this manner, the principal amount would increase in every month and can never be repaid fully with the monthly installment of $2500.
From the above discussion, it can be stated that as the loan cannot be repaid with the monthly payment of $2500, there would be no final repayments.
If it is assumed that the cash flows have occurred in the mid of every year after period 0, then payback periods of the two investments would be as follows:

From the table, it is clear that Investment Y would have lesser payback period than Investment X and hence, it should be selected for investment purpose.
If the cash flows occurred at the end of each period, then the payback periods would surely differ from the above answer. The payback periods for this alternative scenario are calculated below:

The table denotes that the payback periods for both the project would extend for further 0.5 years. However, in this scenario also, Investment Y would recover the initial investment faster than Investment X and therefore, it would be better to select investment Y.
NPV is calculated on the basis of present vales of future cash flows, which, in turn, are ascertained with the help of discount rate. The discount rate is generally the required rate of return or the cost of capital for any investment. In this case, no such rates have been mentioned in the case study. Hence, it is not possible to draw any graph for comparing the NPV of the two projects (Mukherjee and Al Rahahleh 2013).
However, the net cash flows, generated from the two projects are calculated and shown in the graph below to compare the two investments:

It should be noted that IRR is mainly computed on the basis of discount rate, which is not given in the case study. However, it can also be ascertained from the undiscounted cash flows, though the outcomes are not reliable under this technique (Abor 2017).
Required rate of return is determined on the basis of return rates of similar investments. Cost of capital can also be used as the required rate of return. However, in this case study, no such information has been given in regards to return rate of similar investments or cost of capital. Hence, the investments cannot be compared depending on the required rate of return (Burns and Walker 2015).
