Answer:
$318,680
Explanation:
initial investment ($506,000)
cash flow year 1 = $212,000
cash flow year 2 = $212,000
cash flow year 3 = $212,000
cash flow year 4 = $212,000
cash flow year 5 = $212,000
discount rate 9%
present value of an ordinary annuity for 5 years and 9% discount rate = 3.89
the net present value = (yearly cash flow x annuity value) - initial investment = ($212,000 x 3.89) -$506,000 = $824,680 - $506,000 = $318,680
The net present value of an investment equals the difference between the present value of the cash flows generated by the investment minus the initial cost of the investment.
