NPV:

Answer 1

Answer:

Net present value at 8%=($42510)

Explanation:

Explanation- Net present value   = Present value of cash inflows – Total outflows

={(19000*6.7100) - $170000}

=$127490- $170000

= ($42510)

Annual net cash inflows = Net income+ Depreciation

= $4000+$15000

= $19000

Straight line Method:-

= Cost of asset- Salvage value of asset/No. of useful life (years)

=($170000-$20000)/10 years

=$150000/10 years = $15000

Net present value at 3%=($7926)

Explanation- Net present value   = Present value of cash inflows – Total outflows

={(19000*8.5302) - $170000}

=$162074- $170000

= ($7926)

Annual net cash inflows = Net income+ Depreciation

= $4000+$15000

= $19000

Straight line Method:-

= Cost of asset- Salvage value of asset/No. of useful life (years)

=($170000-$20000)/10 years

=$150000/10 years = $15000
