Answer:
NPV = $55,894.45
Explanation:
the initial outlay of the project is $200,000
the salvage value is $10,000
useful life 10 years
annual costs $9,000
annual savings $50,000
luckily there are no taxes in space
we must determine the effective interest rate in order to be able to discount the future cash flows
(1 + 0.0478/6)¹² - 1 = 9.99%
the net cash flow per year (for years 1 - 9) = $50,000 - $9,000 = $41,000
net cash flow for year 10 = $41,000 + $10,000 = $51,000
using a financial calculator, the NPV = $55,894.45
