Answer:
The NPV = $1578.185602 rounded off to $1578.19
As the NPV is positive, the project should be accepted.
Explanation:
The Net Present Value or NPV is a tool used to evaluate projects. It is used with various other tools to decide whether to undertake a project or not. To calculate the Net Present Value or NPV, we take the present value of the cash inflows provided by the project and deduct the initial cost of the project.  If the NPV is positive, we should proceed with the project and vice versa.
NPV = CF1 / (1+r)  +  CF2 / (1+r)^2  +  ...  + CFn / (1+r)^n  -  Initial Cost
Where,
- CF1, CF2, ... represents cash flow in Year 1, Year 2 and so on.
- r is the required rate of return
NPV = 3200 / (1+0.17)  +  3200 (1+0.17)^2  +  3200 (1+0.17)^3  +  
3200 (1+0.17)^4  +  5700 (1+0.17)^5  -  9800
NPV = $1578.185602 rounded off to $1578.19

Answer:
3%
Explanation:
Given the following :
Purchased merchandise = $43,338
Number of payments required = 6
Payment per period = $8,000
PV factor (PVIFA) = (purchased merchandise / payment per period) 
PVIFA = (43,338 / 8000) = 5.41725
Using the PVIFA table, we locate the interest rate on PVIFA factor of 5.41725 for a period of 6 years. 
For PVIFA of 5.4172, the interest rate is 3%
Hence the implicit Interest t rate = 3%
PVIFA = [1 - (1+r)^-n] ÷ r
