Answer:

$(28,022)

Explanation:

The computation of the net present value is shown below:

Year Particulars Cost PV Annuity factor of $1 at 16% PV of cash flows

0 Initial machine Cost        ($440,000) 1.000 ($440,000.00)

1 - 7  Labor and other cost Saving $102,000 4.039  $411,978.00

Net Present value                                                     (28,022.00)

Refer to the PVIFA factor table

Since the net present value is negative so the project should not be accepted

Cash flow in year 1 = $9,500

Cash flow in year 2 = $9,500

Cash flow in year 3 = $9,500

I = 15%

NPV = $7190.64

To find the NPV using a financial calacutor:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

3. Press compute

  • Flashing serves as an additional layer of water protection; however, if you notice leaks, your flashing is damaged. You may experience water damage if you find rust, holes, or areas where the flashing has worn down. However, it would still be best to replace it.
  • Repointing your chimney brick mortar would be your first step. Repointing is the process of taking out the crumbly mortar, then replacing it with a new batch of mortar.
  • your chimney crown and flue serve as your extra protection against water. However, gaps may eventually appear after some time, allowing water to enter.
  • As a result of the water seeping in, it will damage not only the crown but also the flue. And caulking would be the answer to this chimney problem. Caulking is the process of sealing a gap using a sealant or a waterproof filler
