Answer:
The NPV = $1578.185602 rounded off to $1578.19
As the NPV is positive, the project should be accepted.
Explanation:
The Net Present Value or NPV is a tool used to evaluate projects. It is used with various other tools to decide whether to undertake a project or not. To calculate the Net Present Value or NPV, we take the present value of the cash inflows provided by the project and deduct the initial cost of the project. If the NPV is positive, we should proceed with the project and vice versa.
NPV = CF1 / (1+r) + CF2 / (1+r)^2 + ... + CFn / (1+r)^n - Initial Cost
Where,
- CF1, CF2, ... represents cash flow in Year 1, Year 2 and so on.
- r is the required rate of return
NPV = 3200 / (1+0.17) + 3200 (1+0.17)^2 + 3200 (1+0.17)^3 +
3200 (1+0.17)^4 + 5700 (1+0.17)^5 - 9800
NPV = $1578.185602 rounded off to $1578.19
Answer: The correct answer is False.
Explanation:
Business behavior will not determine the ethics of society. Businesses can't be responsible to change the moral and ethical behaviors of a single person or an entire world. Only a person can change their own behavior. A society in whole can only be changed by each person acting upon their own free will.
If a business is not ethical, then they need to change the way they work and do business and lead by example.
