Answer 1

Answer:

Net Present Value for this project is -411,111.11

Explanation:

Net Present Value is the difference between present values of future cash flows and present value of future cash outflows. Since, the outflows are paid today, we don't need to discount them.

Since we have indefinite period of time and expected net cash inflow of 107,000$ after first year, where it is expected to grow annually at 3%, we can use following formula:

P V = F V / i-g, where g is annual growth rate of future cash inflow. Therefore, we will have P V = 1,188,888. In order to calculate N P V we need to calculate the difference between P V and initial investments. Finally, we get -411,111.11
