Summary of the Project Cash Flows is as follows :
Year 0 = ($120,000)
Year 1 to Year 10 = $18,900
The Project cost of capital = 9%
Calculation of the Project`s NPV :
<em>NPV can be calculated from this summary using a financial calculator as :</em>
<em>CF0 = ($120,000)</em>
<em>CF1 = $18,900</em>
<em>Nj = 10</em>
<em>i = 9 %</em>
<em>NPV = ? </em>
<em>NPV = $1,293.73 or $1,294</em>
The Project is accepted only if it has a Positive NPV
Conclusion,
