Answer 1

Answer:

$23,773.65

Explanation:

Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator :

cash flow in year 0 = $-80,000.

Cash flow in year 1 and 2 = $35,000.

Cash flow in year 3 and 4 = $30,000.

I = 10%

NPV = $23,773.65

To find the NPV using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.  

3. Press compute
