Answer 1

Answer:

$2007.6

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-

4th Year Cash Flow = Salvage Value + Expected End Year Net Cash Flow

= $1,200 + $11,300

= $12,500

Year  Cash flow ($) PVF at 8%  Present value ($)

0              36,300 1.000          -36,300

1              11,300         0.9259           10462.67

2               11,300 0.8573            9687.49

3               11,300 0.7938            8969.94

4               12,500 0.7350            9187.5

 Net present value                   2007.6

According to the analysis, net present value of machine is $2007.6
