Answer:
Net present value = $2063.1922
Explanation:
given data
initially costs = $40,500
cash flows = $34,500
final cash inflow = $12,000
required rate of return = 18.5 percent
solution
The cash flows is
Year 0 = $40500
Year 1 = $0
Year 2 = $0
Year 3 = $34500
Year 4 = $34500
Year 5 = $0
Year 6 = $12000
so Net present value will be express as
Net present value = -Initial cash outflow + Present value of future cash flows ...............1
Present value of future cash flows = (cash flow in year n) ÷ (1 + required rate of return)^t ..........................2
put here value we get
Present value =
Present value = $42563.1922
Net present value= -$40500 + $42563.1922
Net present value = $2063.1922
